Answer:

a.) April has 30 days

If you for option No.2, you would have:

[day, amount($)]

1, 0.01

2, 0.02

3, 0.04

4, 0.08

5, 0.16

6, 0.32

7, 0.64

8, 1.28

9, 2.56

10, 5.12

11, 10.24

12, 20.48

13, 40.96

14, 81.82

15. 163.48

16, 327.68

17, 655.36

18, 1310.72

19, 2621.44

20, 5242.88

21, 10,485.76

22, 20,971.52

23, 41,943.04

24, 83,886.08

25, 167,772.16

26, 335,544.32

27, 671,088.64

28, 1,342,177.28

29, 2,684,354.56

30, 5,368,709.12

Option 2 grants you more than 5 times as much as Option A and is therefore obviously better.

b.) A diagram would show first a slow rise, than a steeper and steeper rise, then would almost growvertically. exponential growth

#coronatime

The most elegant form to describe the given numbers would simply be

$=1*2^x

You start with one, eich doubles after a day (x=1). x is the number of days and how often you multiply by 2

c.) Wasn't sure without calculating, but I guessed Opt.2, because it seemed that one should be tricked into choosing Opt.1

Have a nice day

Brainliest would be appreciated

frosja888 [35]

Answer: \frac{1}{8} hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total time Collin spent on 6 songs =\frac{3}{4}\text{ hour}

Now, the fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song is given by :-

\frac{\text{Total time taken}}{\text{Total songs}}=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{6}=\frac{3}{4\times6}=\frac{1}{8}\text{hour}

The fraction of an hour does he spend practicing each song=\frac{1}{8}

What does it mean when a question number is circled in a textbook
RoseWind [281]
This is only my opinion.  I could be wrong.

My guess is:

Somebody else used that book before you, maybe last year or
the year before, and it was somebody who didn't mind writing
in his book.

One day he didn't have time to write down the homework in his
assignment notebook, so he just circled the homework problems
in his textbook.
