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

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x - 3 inches long. the longer sides are 6 inches longer than the shortest side. t
Zolol [24]
Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches
