(a) Write an expression to represent the membership cost of Platinum Gym for x months.(b) Write an expression to represent the membership cost of Super Fit for x months.
(c) If Tom decides to join Platinum Gym and Edward joins Super Fit, who would pay less during the first month of membership? Who would pay less after a year of membership? Show your work.
(d) Is there a membership period for which Tom and Edward would pay the same amount? If so, how long would this membership be and how much would it cost? Show your work.

A) let x=months let y=cost y=mx+b y= 20x+ 60 Remember 20 is the variable which means in this case every month it cost 20$ and 60 is the constant which means you only pay it once B) let x= Months let y= cost y=10x + 150 C) platinum gym y= 20x+60 y=20(1)+60 y=20+60 y=80 Superfit y=10x+150 y=10(1)+150 y=10+150 y=160 Therefore Tom will pay less after the first month D) y=y solve for x y=20x+60 y=10x+150 20x+60=10x+150 -10x. -10x 10x+ 60=150 -60. -60 10x=90 10x/10=90/10 X=9 9 months Pick any equation and sub in x Y=10x+150 Y=10(9)+150 Y=90+150 Y=240 240$ Know that you only have to do one equation to find y but if you want to show both you can Therefore there is a period where Tom and Edward paid the same amount, after nine months they would both pay $240 E) if they plan on going to the gym 9 months and less the best deal gym is platinum gym but if they want to go for more then 9 months then the best deal gym is super fit

Find the area of a regular hexagon with an apothem 8.7 centimeters long and a side 10 centimeters long. Round your answer to the
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon is made up of six triangles having a height of 8.7cm and a base of 10cm. So the area of the hexagon is 6 times the area of one of the triangles. Since the area of a triangle is bh/2 we have

A=6(8.7)10/2

A=261cm^2

Kristen invests $5,745 in a bank. The bank pays 6.5% interest compounded monthly. How long must she leave the money in the bank
s344n2d4d5 [400]

formula is A=P(1-\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=interest rate in decimal

n=number of times per year it is compounded

t=time in years


we want to find where

A=2P

and P=5745

and r=6.5%=0.065

n=monthly=12


remember that ln(x^a)=a(ln(x))

also that (a^b)^c=a^{bc}

2(5745)=5745(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}, solving for t

divide both sides by 5745 to simplify things a bit

2=(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t} I'd rather not simplify this because it give us a decimals and those aren't exact, if we combine, we get 12.065/12 for inside parenthases

2=(\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t}

take ln of both sides

ln(2)=ln((\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t})

ln(2)=(12t)ln(\frac{12.065}{12})

divide both sides by 12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})

\frac{ln(2)}{12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})}=t

using our calculator, t≈10.6927


so rounded, we get 10.7 years
