The number of months that it will take the latest model's battery life to reach 1,008.9 minutes is; 8 months
<h3>How to solve geometric progression?</h3>
Each month, there is an increase by a factor of 0.06 of the previous months model.
From geometric sequence formula of aₙ = ar^(n - 1),
where;
a is first term
r is common ratio
aₙ is nth term
we have;
1,008.9 = 671 * 1.06^(n - 1)
1008.9/671 = 1.06^(n - 1)
In 1.504 = (n - 1) In 1.06
0.408 = (n - 1) * 0.058
n - 1 = 0.408/0.058
n = 7.03 + 1
n ≈ 8 months

280 because 360 divided by 18 is 20. 20 times 14 is 280. hope this helps
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar shapes may or may not be congruent.
The value of x is (a) 9.0
The corresponding sides are:
- AB and DE
- BC and EF
- AC and DF
The side lengths are:




Because the shapes are congruent, and AC corresponds to DF.
This means that:

So, we have:

Collect like terms


Divide both sides by 5

<em>Hence, the correct option is (a) 9.0</em>

Answer: Choice B) Investment decreases by 3% each month
=====================================================
Explanation:
We won't use the value 2500 at all.
The base of the exponential is 0.97
Set this equal to 1+r and solve for r
1+r = 0.97
r = 0.97-1
r = -0.03
The negative r value indicates we have exponential decay, so the value of the investment decreases by 3% each month.
Let's say you had $100 to start off. This would mean the investment would be worth $97 after one month is up.
