Marcos purchases a top-up card for his pre-paid cell phone. His remaining balance, B, can be modeled by the equation B=40−0.1n,

where n is the number of minutes he's talked since purchasing the card.
a) How much money was on the card when he purchased it? $______. Which intercept is this? B-intercept or N-intercept?

b) How many minutes will he have talked when he runs out of money? $_____. Which intercept is this? B-intercept or n-intercept ?

c) What is the slope of this equation?________ . What are the units on the slope? Minute , dollars per minute ,minutes per dollars or dollars ?

Answer:

Part a) When Marcos purchased the card, the balance on the card was $40

This is the B-intercept

Part b) Mark will have spoken 400 minutes when he runs out of money

This is the n-intercept

part c) The slope of the equation is -0.1 and the units are dollars per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

B=40-0.1n

where

B is balance in dollars on the card

n is the number of minutes

Part a) How much money was on the card when he purchased it? $______. Which intercept is this? B-intercept or N-intercept?

we know that

The B-intercept is the value of B when the value of n is equal to zero

so

For n=0

substitute and find the value of B

B=40-0.1(0)=\$40

therefore

When Marcos purchased the card, the balance on the card was $40

This is the B-intercept

Part b) How many minutes will he have talked when he runs out of money? $_____. Which intercept is this? B-intercept or n-intercept ?

we know that

The n-intercept is the value of n when the value of B is equal to zero

so

For B=0

substitute and find the value of n

0=40-0.1n

0.1n=40

n=400\ minutes

therefore

Mark will have spoken 400 minutes when he runs out of money

This is the n-intercept

Part c) What is the slope of this equation?________ . What are the units on the slope? Minute , dollars per minute ,minutes per dollars or dollars ?

we have

B=40-0.1n

This is is the equation of the line into slope intercept form

m=-0.1\frac{\$}{minute} -----> slope of the equation

b=40 ------> the B-intercept

The units of the slope are dollars per minute

Min knows that Pi times r = 9.42 centimeters. What would she need to do to find the area?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The area of the circle is 28.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

πr =9.42

Using that, we can find the radius, which will help us find the area of the circle.

9.42/π = 3 (I used 3.14 for π)

The formula for area of a circle is:

πr^2

Plug our values in.

π(3^2)

9π

28.26

The area of the circle is 28.26.

To sum, Min would need to first figure out the radius of the circle, and then use the radius to find the area of the circle. She can figure out the radius by dividing 9.42 by π, and find the area with the formula πr^2.

Given a geometric sequence in the table below, create the explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Makovka662 [10]

Given:

The geometric sequence is:

n              a_n

1                        -4

2                      20

3                     -100

To find:

The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.

Solution:

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n-1}            ...(i)

Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n\geq 1.

In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\dfrac{20}{-4}

r=-5

Putting a=-4,r=-5 in (i), we get

a_n=-4(-5)^{n-1} where n\geq 1

Therefore, the correct option is B.
