Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
AB = CD = 10, so AB = 10
The answer choices are sufficiently far apart that you can work this backward. The sum will be ...
236,196*(1 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + ...)
so a reasonable estimate can be given by an infinite series with a common ratio of 1/3. That sum is
236,196*(1/(1 - 1/3)) = 236,196*(3/2)
Without doing any detailed calculation, you know the best answer choice is ...
354,292
_____
There are log(236196/4)/log(3) + 1 = 11 terms* in the series, so the sum will be found to be 4(3^11 -1)/(3-1) = 2*(3^11-1) = 354,292.
Using the above approach (working backward from the last term), the sum will be 236,196*(1-(1/3)^11)/(1-(1/3)) = 236,196*1.49999153246 = 354,292
___
* If you just compute log(236196/4)/log(3) = 10 terms, then your sum comes out 118,096--a tempting choice. However, you must realize that the last term is larger than this, so this will not be the sum. (In fact, the sum is this value added to the last term.)
Answer:
$12.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Because each of the students paid the same amounts, you just divide the total amount of money by the number of students there are, which is 21 and you get your answer of $12.40. hope this helps :)
<h3>
Answer: D) The y intercept is (0,1)</h3>
This can be confirmed by plugging x = 0 into the function to find that...
y = (1/2)^x
y = (1/2)^0
y = 1
Recall that any nonzero value to the 0th power leads to 1. So we can say x^0 = 1 as long as x is not zero.
---------------
Extra info (optional section):
- We can rule out choice A because negative x values work in the domain. For instance, if x = -1, then it leads to y = (1/2)^x = (1/2)^(-1) = 2. The negative exponent will apply the reciprocal operation to the base fraction.
- Choice B can also be ruled out because the range is y > 0. Or you could note that it is possible to get positive y values smaller than 1/2. Try x = 2 and you'll see it leads to y = 1/4 which is not greater than 1/2.
- Choice C is false as well. The function f(x) = (1/2)^x is decreasing throughout the domain. A graph visually would show this due to it going downhill when moving from left to right. A table of values is a non-visual way to see we have a decreasing function. The table would show that y decreases when x increases.
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to do this, the first is to just count the number of shaded squares (35)
The second is to find the area of the larger shaded square and subtract the smaller un-shaded rectangles
The large square is 7x7=49 squares
There are two 2x3 rectangles, which are 6 each
49-6-6=37
