Answer:

p = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there !

⁸⁾-3p + 1/8 = ²⁾- 1/4

- 24p + 1 = - 2

- 24p = - 2 - 1

- 24p = - 3 | (-)

24p = 3

p = 3⁽³/24

p = 1/8

Good luck !

Which function forms a geometric sequence when x = 1, 2, 3, ...?

jeka94

The geometric sequence is found in the relationship between consecutive terms that is constant.
In this problem, as I understand it, none of the functions forms a geometric sequence.
The functions that form a geometric sequence have the form
f (x) = h (a) ^ n where "a" is the constant relation between the successive terms.
If you wrote the function "f (x) = - 2 (3/4) x", you wanted to write instead:
f (x) = - 2 (3/4) ^ x
So that would be the function that forms a geometric sequence, where the relation between the consecutive terms is 3/4.
You can test it by dividing f (x) / f (x-1)
Then you will see that the result of that division will be 3/4.

jenna's rectangular garden borders a wall. she buys 80 ft of fencing. what are the dimensions of the garden that will maximize i

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

let 'x' be the length and the 'y' be the width of the rectangle

given Jenna's buys 80ft of fencing of rectangle so the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(x +y) = 80

x + y =40

y = 40 -x

now the area of the rectangle A = length X width

A = x y

substitute 'y' value in above A = x (40 - x)

A = 40 x - x^2 .....(1)

Step :2

now differentiating equation (1) with respective to 'x'

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 40 -2x$ ........(2)

Find the dimensions

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0$

40 - 2x =0

40 = 2x

x = 20

and y = 40 - x = 40 -20 =20

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20

length = 20 and breadth = 20

Step 3:-

we have to find maximum area

Again differentiating equation (2) with respective to 'x' we get

$\frac{d^2A}{dx^2} = -2$

Now the maximum area A = x y at x =20 and y=20

A = 20 X 20 = 400

Conclusion:-

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

verification:-

The perimeter = 2(x +y) =80

2(20 +20) =80

2(40) =80

80 =80

2) Marion deposited $12,000 into her saving account for 10 years with simple annual interest rate of 5%. Cameron deposited $12,0

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Marion’s account will have $237 more at the end of 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the amount that will be in Marion’s account after 10 years.

To calculate this, we use the formula for simple interest

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest accrued for the period of years

P is the amount deposited = $12,000

R is the rate = 5%

T is the time which is 10 years

Plugging these values into the equation

I = (12,000 * 5 * 10)/100 = $6,000

The amount after 10 years is thus the sum of the amount deposited and the interest accured = $12,000 + $6,000 = $18,000

Now for Cameron, we use the compound interest formula

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where A is the amount in the account after the number of years

P is the amount deposited = $12,000

r is the interest rate = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded. Since it is annually, n = 1

t is the time which is 10 years

We plug these values and we have;

A = 12,000(1 + 0.04/1)^(1 * 10)

A = 12,000 (1.04)^10

A = $17,763 ( to the nearest whole dollars)

Since 18,000 is greater than 17,763, the amount in Marion’s account will be greater at an amount of (18,000 - 17,763) = $237
