Answer:

a.) w = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) 3.5weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Her current weight is 103 pounds and she hopes to multiply her her weight each week by 1.08, then

her weight after 1 week = 103 * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08¹

Her weight after 2 weeks = [weight of week 1] * 1.08 = [103* 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08²

Weight after 3 weeks= [weight of week 2] * 1.08 = [103 * 1.08 * 1.08] * 1.08 = 103 * 1.08³

Hence weight (W) after t weeks = 103 * 1.08^t

b.) If W = 135, Then

103 * 1.08^t = 135

1.08^t = 135/103

1.08^t = 1.31

Taking log of both sides,

log 1.08^t = log 1.31

t log 1.08 = log 1.32

t = log 1.32/log 1.08

t = 3.5 weeks.

Hence, it will take her 3½ weeks to get to 135pounds weight.

1. A. y and 1.2y are like terms. c they both contain the same term (y) and can therefore be combined.

2. B. 12x+11 (you have to combine the like terms)

3. 15y+18-4
C. 15y+14 (you must distribute the 3 to inside the parentheses, so 3×5y and 3×6)

4. 9(9-3p) (you have to find a common factor between the terms, in this case 9, and you place it on the outside of the parentheses, while dividing that factor from those terms, which are placed in parentheses.
