Answer: She started with $160.
It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.
Step-by-step explanation:
If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r)^t
Where
A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.
t represents the number of weeks.
P represents the initial value of the investment.
r represents rate of depreciation.
From the information given,
A = $142.40
r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11
t = 1
Therefore
142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1
142.40 = P(0.89)
P = 142.4/0.89
P = 160
For her to have half of what she invested originally, then
80 = 160(0.89)^t
80/160 = (0.89)^t
0.5 = (0.89)^t
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89
- 0.3010 = - 0.051t
t = - 0.3010/- 0.051
t = 5.9
Approximately 6 weeks

Answer:
r = 0
r = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no x in the equation, hence there are no x-intercepts.
__
If we assume you want the values of r that satisfy the equation, the zero product property tells you they will be the values that make the factors zero.
The factors are r and (r+7).
The factor r is zero when ...
r = 0
The factor (r+7) is zero when ...
r +7 = 0 ⇒ r = -7
The "x-intercepts" are r=0 and r=-7.
Answer:
64 sodas and 32 hot dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
192 divide by 2 = 96. 96 divide by 3 = 32. 32 +32 =64 because there was 2 times as many sodas sold.64 +32=96.
