Answer:
- after week 7: 4374 pennies
- 486 pennies: after week 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence values have a first term of 6 and a common ratio of 3, so can be described by the formula ...
an = 6·3^(n-1)
This can be rearranged to ...
an = 2·3^n
__
When n=7, the value is ...
a7 = 2·3^7 = 4374 . . . . pennies saved after 7 weeks
__
To find when there are 486 pennies saved, we can solve the equation ...
486 = 2·3^n
243 = 3^n
log(243) = n·log(3) . . . . . . . take the logarithm
log(243)/log(3) = n = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of n
Tabitha will have saved 486 pennies after 5 weeks.
The answer is 1/3...I got this question on I-ready and I hate when I don't pass a lesson...hope this will help you guys out.
Answer:
5:40
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem involving the least common difference.
If you know that the red and blue trains left at the same time at 5, you know that another red train will leave at 5:08. Another blue train at 5:10.
The way to solve this will be to write out the factors of 8 and 10 and find the smallest number that they overlap.
Red:
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80
Blue:
10, 20, 30, 40
You see that after 40 mnutes, they are both leaving the station again. After 40 minutes, at 5:40, they are both leaving.
Answer:
