Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and

will save $25 each month. The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same amount of money?

Answer: it would take 3.1 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months that that it will take either of the runners to have the same amount of money in their accounts.

Let y represent the total amount that runner 1 saves for m months

Let z represent the total amount that runner 2 saves for m months

The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month. This means that the total amount that he will save for m months would be

y = 112 + 45 + 25m

y = 157 + 25m

The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. This means that the total amount that he will save for m months would be

z = 50 + 60m

To determine the number of months before the amount in the account of both runners becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

157 + 25m = 50 + 60m

157 - 50 = 60m - 25m

35m = 107

m = 107/35

m = 3.06

Which describes the graph of mc014-1.jpg on [0, 3)? The steps are at –2 from 0 to 1, at –1 from 1 to 2, and at 0 from 2 to 3. Th
Strike441 [17]
1) The graph consists of three horizontal segments, with discontinuities (jumps) at x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3. 
A horizontal segment at y = - 2 for the values x = 0 to 1.
A horizontal segment at y = - 1 for values x = 1 to 2
A horizontal segment at y = 0 for values x - 2 to 3.


2) To know whether the end points of a segment are defined by the left or the right values you have to look for the circle at the extreme of the segment: if it is a solid dot, means that the end is included, if is is an open circle (white inside) then the end is not included in that segment.

3)  That function is based on the function named integer part because if relates y with the integer part of x.

The integer value function is [x] and it makes correspond y values witht he integer values of x.:

y = 0 witht the integer value of x for x between 0 and 1, excluding 1.

y = 1 with the integer value of x between 1 and 2 (excluding 2)

y = 2 with the integer value of x between 2 and 3 (excluding 3)
y = 3 with the integer value of x between 3 and 4 (excluding 4)

But our function is two units below, so it is [x] - 2

Answer: Option (D) Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

Explanation:

Given expression:

(2^3)(2^{-4})

<em>Step-1: </em>Add the exponents and keep the same base by using x^a*x^b = x^{a+b} property.

(2^3)(2^{-4}) = 2^{(3+(-4))} = 2^{-1}

Step-2: The reciprocal of 2^{-1} is \frac{1}{2^{-1}}, which is 2^1

Step-3: The exponent of 2^1 is +1; therefore, change the sign of exponent. The end expression will now become:

2^{-1}

Hence, the correct option is (D) Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
