Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
25 = 5*5 or -5 * -5
yes, that is correct. However, you forgot another property of roots. Roots are simply exponential fractions.
Therefore, can also be rewritten as:
. Notice that it cannot be -25 because that would be a negative square root which will give us an imaginary number.
Answer:
x = 14 days
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the question, find a function that represents the payment mode of plan A and an equation that represents the mode of payment of plan B.
For Plan B the payment is constant every afternoon, $ 11.5 (or 1150 cents) so the equation to represent this form of payment is as follows:
A = 1150x (with units in cents)
This equation represents the line of a line of slope 1150, which passes through point (0,0). Where x is the number of days {1, 2, 3 ....}
In form of payment B, the amount of payment is doubled each day. And the first payment is 2 cents. Therefore this model is represented by an exponential base 2 equation of the form:
Where x represents the number of days, which is always greater than 0 {1, 2, 3, 4 ...}
To know in which day the salary will be approximately the same we equate both equations and we clear x.
A = B
It is a somewhat difficult equation to solve, so I recommend iterating to get a value where the function approaches 0 (when this difference is zero it means that the A and B salaries are the same).
Suppose
x = 13 days
cents
It is not equal to 0.
Let's try with x = 15
cents
Then the value that makes the function zero is between x = 13 and x = 15
Let's try with x = 14
cents = 2.84 $ difference. X = 14 is the whole number where functions A and B are closer together (the salary is approximately the same). Therefore the answer is
x = 14 days
