Answer:
I just learned this topic and have the same question, so I'm not sure if this right. However, I see a fellow student struggling and have to at least put in what I know. My equation was f(n) = 64(1/2)^n-1, then the question was write an expression to represent f(20).
Step-by-step explanation:
So, my answer was f(20) = 64(1/2)^19
f(20) is the number you plug into n. And because the exponent is n-1, I knew to subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.
Then I just wrote the equation out like the original expect with the numbers pluged in: f(20) = 64(1/2)^19
I hope this helps!
Answer: he must work for at least 26.32 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that Hayden works as a life guard.
Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard. This means that the amount that he earns for working for x hours would be
9.5x
He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course. If he takes this bonus cost, the amount that he would earn for working for x hours is
9.5x + 50
Therefore, the number of hours that he must work to earn at least $300.00 would be
9.5x + 50 ≥ 300
9.5x ≥ 300 - 50
9.5x ≥ 250
x ≥ 250/9.5
x ≥ 26.32
In total, Kay took 5+14+2=21exams. she got 80%-90% on 14 of them. the probably is 14/21 which is 2/3. Therefore, the probability of Kay getting 80%-90% on her next exam is 2/3 or 66.6%
5 x 3 = 15
30 x 3 = 90
15+90=105
so that person paid $105 for that day
