Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of weeks = x.

At the end of x weeks,

Jeremy has 120 + 14x,

and Katie has 180 + 10x

We want to know when their amounts are equal.

120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

4x = 60

x = 15

Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following information:

<u>Jeremy</u>

Starts with $120
Adds $14 every week to his account

<u>Katie</u>

Stars with $180
Adds $10 every week to her account

Let the parameter (x) represent the number of weeks passed. Parameter (y) is the amount in the account, (S) represents the amount in the account to start with and (A) represents the amount added to the account every week. One can use the following general equation to represent the situation:

y = S + Ax

Substitute the given information into the equation for each person:

Jeremy: y = 120 + 14x

Katie: y = 180 + 10x

One is asked to find the point in time when the two account have the same amount of money. Therefore, set the two equations equal to each other and solve:

y = 120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

Inverse operations,

120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

4x = 60

x = 15

15 weeks will pass before Katie and Jeremy have the same amount of money in their accounts.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Count the number of sections.

... 12!

Now count the number of sections with a label of 5.

... 3!

So the probability of getting a 5 with one spin is $\frac{3}{12}$ or 25%.

Now we can calculate the probability of getting a 5 with 150 spins.

$P(5)=0.25*150$

$P(5)=37.5$

The closest answer is 40.

Answer:

(a)= option 3

(b)= option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) It is given that a sequence is defined by the recursive function $a_{1}=1$ and $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+n$

Now, substituting the value of n=2 in above equation,

$a_{2}=a_{1}+2$

$a_{2}=1+2$

$a_{2}=3$

Again putting n=3,

$a_{3}=a_{2}+3$

$a_{3}=3+3$

$a_{2}=6$

Putting n=4,

$a_{4}=a_{3}+4$

$a_{4}=6+4$

$a_{4}=10$

Putting n=5,

$a_{5}=a_{4}+5$

$a_{5}=10+5$

$a_{5}=15$

Putting n=6,

$a_{6}=a_{5}+6$

$a_{6}=15+6$

$a_{6}=21$

Putting n=7,

$a_{7}=a_{6}+7$

$a_{7}=21+7$

$a_{7}=28$

Hence, option 3 is correct.

(B) The given sequence is :

5, -10, 20, -40, 80.....

Since, the given sequence is GP, therefore

$a_{1}=5$ and r=-2

The nth term is given by:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

For fifteenth term, put n=15 in above equation, we get

$a_{15}=5(-2)^{14}$

= $5{\times}16384$

= $81920$

Hence, the fifteenth term is 81920.

Option 3 is correct.

Answer:

The answer to your question is h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Determine two equations to solve the problem

$tan 14 = \frac{h}{x}$ (1)

$tan 47 = \frac{h}{x - 386}$ (2)

from (1) h = xtan14

substitute in (2) tan 47 = $\frac{xtan14}{x - 386}$

solve for x tan47(x - 386) = xtan14

1.07x - 413.9 = 0.25x

1.07x - 0.25x = 413.9

0.82x = 413.9

x = 413.9/0.82

x = 504.76 ft

2.- Calculate h

h = 504.76 tan 14

h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft
