Answer:

B. 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick here is to recognize that the number of <u>new</u> people who learn this information each week is in powers of 2.

Week 0: 2^0 = 1

Week 1: 2^1 = 2

Week 2: 2^2 = 4 (2*2)

Week 3: 2^3 = 8 (2*2*2)

So following this pattern, we can just plug in 6 for week 6 and see what our answer is:

Week 6: 2^6 = 64 (2*2*2*2*2*2)

* A quick note in calculating powers:

calculating 2*2 six times is a lot of work. You know what isn't? 2*2*2 (8). You know what also isn't? 8*8. That's right, 8*8 is also 64! So instead of calculating 2*2*2*2*2*2, you can just calculate 2^3*2^3, or 8*8. :)

Answer:

B. 64 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each week the number who know the secret doubles so in the 4th week 8*2 = 16 ( = 2^4) new people know.

The number who find it out in the 6th week  is 2^6 = 64 people.

Josh has a itunes gift card worth $75. After he purchases the first song on itunes, the cards value is $74.11. After he purchase
dangina [55]

Answer:

  • A(n)=75.89-0.89n
  • 85 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of the card =$75

The value of the card decreases after each music purchase forming a sequence:

75,74.11,73.22,72.33...

Now,

  • 74.11-75=-0.89
  • 73.22-74.11=-0.89
  • 72.33-73.22=-0.89

We see that the sequence forms an arithmetic sequence:

Where the first term, a is 75

Common difference, d=-0.89

We want to write an equation to define A(n), the amount of money on the gift card after n song purchases.

For an arithmetic sequence,the nth term A(n)=a+(n-1)d

Therefore:

The amount of money on the gift card after n song purchases.

A(n)=75-0.89(n-1)

A(n)=75+0.89-0.89n

A(n)=75.89-0.89n

To find out how many songs can Josh purchase with this card only, we take our nth term A(n) of the sequence to be 0 and solve for n.

A(n)=75.89-0.89n

0=75.89-0.89n

0.89n=75.89

Divide both sides by 0.89

n=85.3

n=85

Therefore, Josh can purchase 85 songs with this card only
