Ann's watch runs 2 min. per hour too slow. Beth's watch runs 1 minute per hour too fast. For example, if both watches were corre

ct at 12:00 P.M. on a given day, then at 1:00 P.M., Ann's watch would read 12:58 P.M. and Beth's watch would read 1:01 P.M. Ann and Beth set there watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday. The next time they met, one of the watches was one hour ahead of the other. What was the earliest time this could have been?

Answer:

<em>At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

When two magnitudes have a linear dependency where one of them is the other by a constant quantity, we can say they are proportional. Like distance and time when moving at a constant speed, double time means double distance, triple time means triple distance and so on.

The problem explains how two watches run too slow or too fast in such a way that every hour they are 3 more minutes apart. If Ann and Beth set their watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday, by 1 pm their watches are 3 minutes apart. By 2 pm their watches are 6 minutes apart and so on.

When will their watches be 1 hour (60 minutes) apart? We'll use proportions to find it out.

If every hour they get 3 minutes apart, we need 60/3 = 20 hours to have their watches 1 hour apart.

Answer: At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch

Which number has a 3 that is 10 times greater than the 3 in 513?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 in "513" is only 3. it's 1, 2, 3. If we do 3 x 10 it's 30.

3 x 10 = 30.

"times greater" means multiplication if you were confused about it.

Six friends create a website. The website earns money by selling banner ads. The site has 5 banner ads. It costs $120 a month to
Naddik [55]

Answer:

A.) y = 0.005x - 120

B.) You need more than 24,000 clicks to make a profit, or at least 24001 clicks.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

1. We know that the amount of money for each click is $0.005, which means that that's the amount of money you need to multiply by the number of clicks (or x) to find the amount of money you're making from the ads.

2. We also know that the cost to keep the website up is 120$, which is a loss of 120 dollars. To find the total profit in a month, you have to subtract whatever the profit from ads was by 120.

3. Since the amount from ads is 0.005 * x minus the cost of the website to be up, 120, the equation for the profit (or y) would be y = 0.005x-120

B.)

Next up is graphing it:

Geometry Way:

1. You can use any online graphing program, or hand graph it (I'll link one that I use in the comments--- Desmos).

2. Graph the equation.

3. Find the value in which that the profit would be 0. Anything more than that would be all of the values in which y is not 0 or negative.

Algebra Way:

1. Plug in 0 for y, or the profit.

2. Simplify. You'll find that when the profit is 0, the amount of clicks would be 24,000. Anything more than that would be positive.

Hope this helped!

What is the difference b/w "Binomial Series" and "Binomial Theorem"? Also give formula for each.
horrorfan [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}

The binomial theorem states that for some a,b∈R and some k ∈Z+ ,

(a+b)k=∑n=0k(kn)ak−nbn.

The binomial series allows us to use the binomial theorem for instances when k is not a positive integer. The binomial series applies to a given function f(x)=(1+x)k for any k∈R with the condition that |x|<1 . It is stated as follows:

(1+x)k=∑n=0∞(kn)xn .

Note that the binomial theorem produces a finite sum and the binomial series produces an infinite sum.
