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.

What logarithmic function represents the data in the table?
alina1380 [7]
216 =6^3
1,296 = 6^4
7,776 = 6^5
x = 6^f(x)
log x = log 6^f(x) = f(x)log 6
f(x) = log x / log 6 = log_6x

damaskus [11]
Answer:
$144.50/8.50 = n

Explanation:
The word each indicates this equation will use division. We know the total is 144.50, so that will be the number being divided. 8.50 is the number 144.50 is divided by. The quotient will be represented by the variable, n.

Express -32/243 into power notation​
lesya692 [45]

This problem can take a while if you cannot observer the answer quickly.

First of all we can see that 32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5

243, if you don't know its actually is 3^5

Now we can see that this turns into...

- 2^5/3^5

since the 5th power doesn't change the sign of the original number, we can put the negative in the ( ), if you don't know what I mean look below

(-3)^2=9 Positive

(-3)^3=-27 Negative since its to the odd power it keeps the sign.

This problem can be simplified to.

(-2/3)^5

And this is the answer :D

If you have any questions just put them in the comments.
