Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
there are more money during the week 1 because having a -$8 balance is better than having a -$10 balance, -8 > -10
week 2 has a greater absolute value
| -10| = 10 and |-8| =8 and becasue 10> 8 then |-10| > |-8|
Answer:
No, because the numbers in the given ratio must be multiplied by the same number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Essentially, ratio to be equal must be equal. E.g. 3:4 would be equal to 6:8 because you multiply both sides of the ratio by 2.
The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.

We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4
6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24
So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping
a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)
Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)
