Answer:

The correct option is B) £2621440.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Contestants are asked a number of questions; they get £5 if they only answer one question correctly, £10 if they answer two questions correctly, £20 if they answer three questions correctly and so on.

This form a G.P

5, 10, 20, 40.....

The nth term of a GP series is a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

Where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Here the first term is 5 and we need to find the value of 20th term.

The common ratio is: \frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{10}{5}=2

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

a_n=5\cdot 2^{20-1}

a_n=5\cdot 2^{19}

a_n=5\cdot 524288

a_n=2621440

Hence, the correct option is B) £2621440.

Find the vertex of the quadratic function
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(1.5,2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 6x + 7

Take the first derivative and set it equal to 0 (the slope is 0 at the vertex)

f'(x) = 4x -6

0 = 4x - 6

4x = 6

x = 3/2 or 1.5

If x = (3/2), then y = 2(3/2)^2 - 6(3/2) + 7

y = 2(9/4) - 18/2 + 7

y = (9/2) - 2

y = 2.5

See attached graph.
