Answer:

  April

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of amounts saved is a geometric sequence. The sum of those amounts is given by the formula ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

where a1 is the amount saved in month 1, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of months. We want to find n such that ...

  150 ≤ 5(2^n -1)/(2 -1)

  30 ≤ 2^n -1

  31 ≤ 2^n

We can solve this using logarithms, or we can make use of our knowledge of powers of 2: 2^5 = 32. That is, n = 5 will be the first month when Jordan's total savings exceeds $150.

The fifth month will be April. Jordan's total savings will be enough in April.

__

The attached shows a spreadsheet that computes Jordan's amount of savings each month, and his running total. Once the formulas are written, they can be copied down as far as required to see where the total savings is enough.

9x^2 -c =d

add c to each side

9x^2 = c+d

divide by 9

x^2=(c+d)/9

take the square root on each side

x = +- sqrt ((c+d)/9)

simplify

x = +- 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

Answer: 1/3 sqrt (c+d), - 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

Simplify x^3 y^3 / x^3 y^3
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

\frac{1}{y}

Step-by-step explanation:

When simplifying an exponent a way to do is to expand the exponent. This means that it will now be

\frac{x*x*x*y*y*y}{x*x*x*y*y}

Whenever you see an x or y on the numerator and denominator cross it out because it is the same thing as 1

When you cross out all of the x's and y's the only variable left is y in the denominator. This means that the answer is \frac{1}{y}

Can someone help plz
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A.) 2x - 9x - 30 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

hello !

to solve this system of equations, first, we substitute the equation y = 3x + 10 to the <em>y </em>variable in the equation 2x-3y = -6. Therefore, we get:

2x - 3(3x+10)=-6

now, we simplify by multiplying -3 to the variables inside the parenthesis, which, in short, is also called the distributive property. thus, we get:

2x - 9x - 30 = -6

Parallelogram ABCD has the angle measures shown. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square? Explain.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABD:

∠B = ∠D

Thus AB=AC by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

In triangle CBD

∠B = ∠D

Thus CB=CD  by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

Thus all four sides of quadrilateral ABCD are equal  

And diagonal BD bisects the angles  

So, it is a rhombus

Therefore the correct option is  parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles....
