Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $10 ever

y month. The second option is to put $100 away initially and save $30 every month. After how many months would Tina save the same amount using either option? How much would she save with either option?

Answer:

Tina would save the same amount using either option after 20 months.

With either option, Tina would save $700.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled by a first order equation:

Where Tina's saved money after n months is:

S(n) = S(0) + rn, where S(0) is the money put away initially and r is how much she saves every month.

The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $10 every month, so:

S_{1}(n) = 500 + 10n

The second option is to put $100 away initially and save $30 every month, so:

S_{2}(n) = 100 + 30n

After how many months would Tina save the same amount using either option?

It will happen at the month n in which S_{1}(n) = S_{2}(n), so:

S_{1}(n) = S_{2}(n)

500 + 10n = 100 + 30n

500 - 100 = 30 - 10n

400 = 20n

20n = 400

n = \frac{400}{20}

n = 20.

Tina would save the same amount using either option after 20 months.

How much would she save with either option?

We can choose S_{1}(20) or S_{2}(20), since they are equal

S_{1}(20) = 500 + 10(20) = 500 + 200 = 700

With either option, Tina would save $700.

Given the two functions, which statement is true?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = \text{log}_{15}x

Transformed form of the function 'f' is 'g'.

g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\text{log}_{15}(x+4)

Property of vertical stretch or compression of a function,

k(x) = x

Transformed function → m(x) = kx

Here, k = scale factor

1). If k > 1, function is vertically stretched.

2). If 0 < k < 1, function is vertically compressed.

From the given functions, k = \frac{1}{2}

Since, k is between 0 and \frac{1}{2}, function f(x) is vertically compressed by a scale factor \frac{1}{2}.

g(x) = f(x + 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units left.

g(x) = f(x - 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units right.

g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\text{log}_{15}(x+4)

Therefore, function f(x) has been shifted by 4 units left to form image function g(x).

Option D is the answer.

What is the value of x and y?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C. x = 8 , y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

since this is an Isosceles triangle 5x = 40° and x = 8

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

40° + 5x + 2y + 20 = 180° add like terms

5x + 2y = 120

40 + 2y = 120 ➡ 2y = 80 and y = 40

Define geometric relationship​
blagie [28]

Answer:

Geometric relationships control the orientation of an element with respect to another element or reference plane. For example, you can define a tangent relationship between a line and an arc. ... For example, a connect relationship and a tangent relationship can be used where an arc meets a line. (make me brainliest)
