Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are being asked to compare the value of a growing infinite geometric series to a fixed constant. Such a series will always eventually have a sum that exceeds any given fixed constant.
__
<h3>a)</h3>
Angelina will get more money from the Choice 1 method of payment. The sequence of payments is a (growing) geometric sequence, so the payments and their sum will eventually exceed the alternative.
__
<h3>c)</h3>
For a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 2, the sum of n terms of the geometric series is given by ...
Sn = a1×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . . . . . . series with first term a1, common ratio r
We want to find n such that ...
Sn ≥ 1,000,000
1 × (2^n -1)/(2 -1) ≥ 1,000,000
2^n ≥ 1,000,001 . . . . add 1
n ≥ log(1,000,001)/log(2) . . . . . take the base-2 logarithm
n ≥ 19.93
The total Angelina receives from Choice 1 will exceed $1,000,000 after 20 days.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )
(y-17)x-6=-138
add /-6 to both sides
y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6
y-17=23
make y independent/add 17 to both sides
y-17+17=23+17
y=40
or in an easier way
-138/-6 =23
23+17=40
simply reversing the question to get the answer
40% = 40/100 = 0.40
Find 40% of 20
20 * 0.40 = 8
Solution: 8 students traveled
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.
x = 8 -15 = -7
Answer:
<h3>The answer is 24</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
5t + 2m
m = 7 t = 2
Substitute the above values into the expression
That's
5(2) + 2(7)
10 + 14
24
