Is there a picture? I cannot answer without a picture
Answer:
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
Simulate (build a table) the growing of the number of pennies for some nights to figure out the pattern:
First night: 1 penny = 2⁰
Second night: 1 × 2 pennies = 2¹
Third night: 2 × 2 = 2²
Fourth nigth: 2² × 2 = 2³
nth night: 2ⁿ⁻¹
You want 2ⁿ⁻¹ ≥ 2,000,000,000
Which you solve in this way:
- n-1 log (2) ≥ log (2,000,000,000)
- n - 1 ≥ log (2,000,000,000) / log (2)
Since n is number of days, it is an integer number, so n ≥ 32.
Hence, she will have a total of more than $ 2 billion after 32 days.
You can prove that by calculating 2³² = 2,147,483,648.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
12x + 5 = 4x + 37, first subtract both sides by 5 and subtract both sides by 4x
8x = 32, next divide 8 from both sides
x = 4
