The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
common difference d=3-1=2
first term a=1
an=a+(n-1)d
2n-1=1+(l-1)2
2n-1=1+2l-2
2n-1=2l-1
l=n
(i used l for number of terms)
number of terms=n
Answer:
7740° / 45
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the interior angles is given by this formula: (n - 2) * 180°. So a regular 45-gon would have interior angles that add up to: (45 - 2) * 180°. = 43 * 180°. = 7740°. Now divide that by the 45 angles to find the measure of one interior angle
hope that helped :(
