When money is spent on goods and services, those who receive the money also spend some of it. The people receiving some of the t

wice-spent money will spend some of that, and so on. Economists call this chain reaction the multiplier effect. In a hypothetical isolated community, the local government begins the process by spending D dollars. Suppose that each recipient of spent money spends 100c% and saves 100s% of the money that he or she receives. The values c and s are called the marginal propensity to consume and the marginal propensity to save and, of course, course, c + s = 1. Let Sn be the total spending that has been generated after n transactions.
Required:
Find an equation for Sn.

Solution :

If S_n is the total spending generated after n transactions, then a_n is the spending generated during the n-th transaction. Since the government spends D dollars, then a_1 = D.

Then the second person will receive D dollars and spend D_c dollars. Therefore, a_2=D_c. The next person will receive D_c dollars, which means they are spending a_3 = (D_c)c = Dc^2 dollars. Therefore,

a_1 = D

a_2=D_c

a_3 = Dc^2

a_4 = (Dc^2)c= Dc^3

....

a_n=Dc^{n-1}

∴ S_n=a_1+a_2+a_3+....+a_n

  S_n = D+Dc+Dc^2+Dc^3+...+Dc^{n-1}

  S_n= D(1+c+c^2+...+c^{n-1})

  S-n=D . \frac{1-c^n}{1-c}

What is the distance between the points (4,-2) and )-5,3)?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given points be the endpoints of a right triangle.  The horizontal change in x is from 4 to -5 and is negative 9; the vertical change in y is from -2 to+ 3 and is +5.

The desired distance is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

d = √(9² + 5²) = √106, or 10.3 (to the nearest tength)

From which set of dimensions could a triangle be constructed?
lutik1710 [3]
The longest side of the triangle has to be less than the sum of the two other sides.

A ⇒ 7 + 8 = 15 
B ⇒ 8 + 5 < 14
C ⇒ 6 + 3 < 10
D ⇒ 2 + 6 > 7

The answer is D, because the longest side length (7) is shorter than the two other side lengths (2 and 6).

Raquel has created a program for a robot. The robot travels 10 meters and stops. The program is designed for wheels that are 2.5
Grace [21]

Answer:

Raquel should adjust the number of rotations  to 115.81 rotations

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the wheels that are 2.5 cm in diameter

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=2.5/2=1.25\ cm

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=2(3.14) (1.25)

C=7.85\ cm

step 2

Find the number of rotations

Divide 10 meters by the circumference

10\ m=1,000\ cm

1,000/7.85=127.39\ rotations

step 3

For a diameter of 2.75 cm find how should she adjust the number of rotations so that the robot travels the same distance

Find the circumference of the wheels

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

r=2.75/2=1.375\ cm

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=2(3.14) (1.375)

C=8.635\ cm

step 4

Find the number of rotations

Divide 10 meters by the circumference

10\ m=1,000\ cm

1,000/8.635=115.81\ rotations

A geometry class has a total of 27 students. The number of females is 13 less than the number of males. How many males and how m
boyakko [2]

Answer:

20 males and 7 females

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of females is x and the number of males is y.

We know that the total number of students is 27, which can also be written as x + y. So, these two expressions are equal: x + y = 27.

There are 13 fewer females than males, so: x = y - 13.

Now, we can use substitution to solve this system of linear equations.

Since x = y - 13, we can plug in y - 13 for x in x + y = 27:

x + y = 27 ⇒ (y - 13) + y = 27 ⇒ 2y - 13 = 27 ⇒ 2y = 40 ⇒ y = 20

Then, we use this value of y to solve for x:

x = y - 13 = 20 - 13 = 7

Thus, there are 20 males and 7 females.

Hope this helps!
