Hello,
$u_{1} =2\\
 u_{2} =2*3\\
 u_{3} =2*3^2\\
...
 u_{8} =2*3^7\\

\sum_{i=0}^7\ 2*3^i\\
=2(1+3+3^2+...+3^7)\\
=2* \dfrac{3^8-1}{3-1}\\
=2* \dfrac{6560}{2} \\
=6560

You would need 3 x $700 = $2100. You would have $110 a month to put in your emergency fund. $2100/$110=19.09 so you would need 20 months to have $2100 saved.

Let's not think about the problem, let's think about the fractions and dividing. We're are trying to find how many sets of 3/44 are in 3 3/4. We need to divide. Using keep change and flip, we can divide successfully.
Let's make sure the first fraction is improper.
15/4÷3/44=?
Keep, Change, and Flip.
15/4×44/3
660/12
Let's simplify.
55.
So Nicole can play 55 rounds.

Answer:

Solution given:

-2x²+7x-6=0

2x²-7x+6=0

Comparing above equation with ax²+bx+c

we get

a=2

b=-7

c=6

By using Vieta's theorem

X1+X2= $\frac{-b}{a}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$

again

X1X2= $\frac{c}{a}$ = $\frac{6}{2}$ =3

Step-by-step explanation:

0.00000003

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the

10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
