Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Take you pick below! (either x 8 or x = 7.01, approx, depending how the question is interpreted)
Discussion:
Interpretation 1
If the question is
2^(x -1) = 128, then as 2^7 = 128,
x-1 = 7 so x = 8
Interpretation 2
If the question is (2^x -1) = 128, then..
2^x = 128 + 1 = 129 =>
log(2^x) = log(129) =>
xlog(2) = log(129) =>
x = log (129) / log2 = 7.01

Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that Phalicia opens her savings account one year (12 months) before she goes to college.
With Option 1, she would have saved 300 + 50 * 11 = $850. We do 50 * 11 and not 50 * 12 because she deposits $50 for 11 months, not 12.
With Option 2, she would have saved 5 * 3¹¹ = $885735. Note that we do 3¹¹ and not 3¹² because 5 is being tripled 11 times.
Obviously, she should choose Option 2 because she saves A LOT more money.
Additionally, we can notice that Option 1 is an example of an arithmetic sequence whereas Option 2 is an example of a geometric sequence. Their explicit formulas would be aₙ = 50n + 250 and aₙ = 5 * 3⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ respectively.
Answer:
its just 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide: 3 : 1 / 3 = 3 / 1 · 3 / 1 = 3 · 3 / 1 · 1 = 9 / 1 = 9 Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator,
