In March, a family starts saving for a vacation they are planning for the end of August. The family expects the vacation to cost

$1370. They start with $125 at the start of each month they plan to deposit 20% more than the previous month. Will they have enough money for their trip? If not, how much more do they need?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The savings for each month is increasing by 20%. It means that it is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of terms(months) in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = $125

r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2

From March to August, it is 5 months. Thus,

n = 5 months

Therefore, the sum of the first 8

5 terms(months), S5 is

S5 = (125 × 1.2^(5) - 1)/1.2 - 1

S5 = (125 × 1.48832)/0.2

S5 = 186.04/0.2

S5 = $930.2

They won't have enough money for the trip.

The additional amount of money that they need is

1370 - 930.2 = $439.8

Find the approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio of a bowling ball with a radius of 5 inches.
Nataly_w [17]
Surface area of a ball: 
S=4πr^2=4*π*5^2=100π

Volume of a circle:
V=4/3*π*r^3=4/3*π*125=(500/3)*π=165π

The approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio would be 1:1,5

-4x - 6y = 6<br> 4x + 6y = -4
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 6y = 6

4x + 6y = -4

To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the x variable when we add the two equations together.

Right now, there's a -4x term in the first equation, and a 4x term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the x variable altogether and solve for y.

However, when we also have a -6y term in the first equation and 6y term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the y term, leaving a 0 on the left-hand side of the equation.

If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get -2, which does not equal 0, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
