One smartphone plan costs $52 per month for talk and messaging and $8 per gigabyte of data used each month. A second smartphone

plan costs $82 per month for talk and messaging and $3 per gigabyte of data used each month. Let c represent the total cost in dollars and d represent the amount of data used in gigabytes.
The system of equations {c=52+8dc=82+3d can be used to represent this situation.
How many gigabytes would have to be used for the plans to cost the same? What would that cost be?

Both plans would cost $
if
gigabytes of data are used.

Answer:

a) 6 gigabytes

b) $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the total cost in dollars and d represent the amount of data used in gigabytes.

For the first smartphone

One smartphone plan costs $52 per month for talk and messaging and $8 per gigabyte of data used each month.

Equation =

c = 52 + 8d

For the Second smartphone

A second smartphone plan costs $82 per month for talk and messaging and $3 per gigabyte of data used each month.

Equation =>

c = 82 + 3d

How many gigabytes would have to be used for the plans to cost the same?

We would equate both cost to each other

52 + 8d = 82 + 3d

Collect like terms

8d - 3d = 82 - 52

5d = 30

d = 30/5

d = 6

Therefore,

a) The number of gigabytes for the cost of both Smartphone data plans to be the same = 6 gigabytes.

b) The cost of both plans if 6 gigabytes is used =>

c = 52 + 8d

c = 52 + 8 × 6

c = $100

The one-time fling! Have you ever purchased an article of clothing (dress, sports jacket, etc.), worn the item once to a party,

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$(a)\ P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$(b)\ P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

$(c)\ P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 8$ --- 8 friends

$p = 15\%$ --- proportion that one-time fling

This question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is represented as:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x* p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

Solving (a): P(x = 0) --- None has done one time fling

$P(x = 0) = ^8C_0* (15\%)^0 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1* 1 * (1 - 0.15)^{8}$

$P(x = 0) = 0.85^8$

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

Solving (b): $P(x \ge 1)$

To do this, we make use of compliment rule:

$P(x = 0) + P(x \ge 1) =1$

Rewrite as:

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - P(x = 0)$

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - 0.2725$

$P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

Solving (c): $P(x\le 2)$ --- Not more than 2 has one time fling

This is calculated as:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

We have:

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$P(x = 1) = ^8C_1* (15\%)^1 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-1}$

$P(x = 1) = 8* (0.15) * (1 - 0.15)^7$

$P(x = 1) = 0.3847$

$P(x = 2) = ^8C_2* (15\%)^2 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-2}$

$P(x = 2) = 28* (0.15)^2 * (1-0.15)^6$

$P(x = 2) = 0.2376$

So:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.2725 + 0.3847 + 0.2376$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$

What is the explicit formula for this sequence? -7,-3,1,5

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$a_{n}$ = 4n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the terms of an arithmetic sequence with n th term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

d = - 3 - (- 7) = 1 - (- 3) = 5 - 1 = 4

and a₁ = - 7, hence

$a_{n}$ = - 7 + 4(n - 1) = - 7 + 4n - 4 = 4n - 11
