PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
7 0
Given:
Amira = 80
Sasha = 40

Amira saves  40 per month
Sasha saves 50 per month

Let x be the number of months.
Amira = 80 +  40x
Sasha = 40 + 50x

Amira = Sasha
80 + 40x = 40 + 50x
40x - 50x = 40 - 80
-10x = -40
x = -40/-10
x = 4

Amira = 80 + 40x = 80 + 40(4) = 80 + 160 = 240
Sasha = 40 + 50x = 40 + 50(4) = 40 + 200 = 240

It would take them 4 months to have the same amount of savings.

1-What is the sum of the series? ​∑j=152j​ Enter your answer in the box.
tangare [24]

Answer:

Please see the Step-by-step explanation for the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

∑\left \ {{5} \atop {j=1}} \right. 2j

The sum of series from j=1 to j=5 is:

∑ = 2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3) + 2(4) + 2(5)

  =  2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10

∑ = 30

2)

This question is not given clearly so i assume the following series that will give you an idea how to solve this:

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. 2k²

The sum of series from k=1 to j=4 is:

∑ = 2(1)² + 2(2)² + 2(3)² + 2(4)²

  = 2(1) + 2(4) + 2(9) + 2(16)

  =  2 + 8 + 18 + 32

∑ = 60

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. (2k)²

∑ = (2*1)² + (2*2)² + (2*3)² + (2*4)²

  = (2)² + (4)² + (6)² + (8)²

  = 4 + 16 + 36 + 64

∑ = 120

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. (2k)²- 4

∑ = (2*1)²-4 + (2*2)²-4 + (2*3)²-4 + (2*4)²-4

  = (2)²-4 + (4)²-4 + (6)²-4 + (8)²-4

  = (4-4) + (16-4) + (36-4) + (64-4)

  = 0 + 12 + 32 + 60

∑ = 104

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. 2k²- 4

∑ = 2(1)²-4 + 2(2)²-4 + 2(3)²-4 + 2(4)²-4

  = 2(1)-4 + 2(4)-4 + 2(9)-4 + 2(16)-4

  = (2-4) + (8-4) + (18-4) + (32-4)

  = -2 + 4 + 14 + 28

∑ = 44

3)

∑\left \ {{6} \atop {k=3}} \right. (2k-10)

∑ = (2×3−10) + (2×4−10) + (2×5−10) + (2×6−10)  

  = (6-10) + (8-10) + (10-10) + (12-10)

  = -4 + -2 + 0 + 2  

∑ = -4

4)

1+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64

This is a geometric sequence where first term is 1 and the common ratio is 1/2 So

a = 1

This can be derived as

1/2/1 = 1/2 * 1 = 1/2

1/4/1/2 = 1/4 * 2/1 = 1/2

1/8/1/4 = 1/8 * 4/1  = 1/2

1/16/1/8 = 1/16 * 8/1  = 1/2

1/32/1/16 = 1/32 * 16/1  = 1/2

1/64/1/32 = 1/64 * 32/1  = 1/2

Hence the common ratio is r = 1/2

So n-th term is:

ar^{n-1} = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

So the answer that represents the series in sigma notation is:

∑\left \ {{7} \atop {j=1}} \right. (\frac{1}{2})^{j-1}

5)

−3+(−1)+1+3+5

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -3 and the common difference is 2. So  

a = 1

This can be derived as

-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2

1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2

3 - 1 = 2

5 - 3 = 2

Hence the common difference d = 2

The nth term is:

a + (n - 1) d

= -3 + (n−1)2

= -3 + 2(n−1)

= -3 + 2n - 2

= 2n - 5

So the answer that represents the series in sigma notation is:

∑\left \ {{5} \atop {j=1}} \right. (2j−5)

Caren is making rice and beans. She can spend no more than $10 on the ingredients. Which situation is represented by the inequal
sergij07 [2.7K]
If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)
