Answer:

Mrs. Maroney should choose plan 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Plan 1: </u>

Plan 1 includes walking a dog once a day for a rate of $5 per day.

In 2 weeks (14 days), Jayden will earn

\$5\cdot 14=\$70

<u>Plan 2:</u>

Plan 2 also includes one walk a day but charges 1 cent for 1 day, 2 cents for 2 days, 4 cents for 3 days, and 8 cents for 4 days and continues to double for each additional day.

So,

a_1=1\\ \\a_2=2\\ \\a_3=4\\ \\a_n=2a_{n-1}=a_1\cdot 2^{n-1}\\ \\r=2

Hence,

a_{14}=a_1\cdot 2^{14-1}=1\cdot 2^{13}=2^{13}=8,192

Find the sum S_{14}=a_1+a_2+\dots+a_{14}:

S_{14}=\dfrac{a_1(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}\\ \\S_{14}=\dfrac{1\cdot (1-2^{14})}{1-2}=\dfrac{-16,384}{-1}=16,384\text{ cents }=\$163.84

Since $70<$163.84, Mrs. Maroney should choose plan 1

Which is a difference of cubes?<br><br> x6 – 27<br> x15 – 36<br> x16 – 64<br> x5 – 125
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of cubes is defined as

a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

The given expression is

x^6-27

It can be written as

x^6-3^3

Using the property of exponent, the above expression can be written as

(x^2)^3-3^3                [\because (x^m)^n=x^{mn}]

This is a difference of cubes.

Therefore the correct option is 1.
