Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Complete Question:</u>
A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?
<u>Solution:</u>
First Swing:
24 m
Second Swing:
Half of first, so
24(1/2)
Third Swing:
Half of second, so:
24(1/2)(1/2)
Fourth Swing:
24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)
So we see the general formula as:
<u>Note:</u> n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1
where n is the number of swings
Answer is 36.
First use the negative exponent rule. When a number is put to the negative power it becomes a fraction
4/3^2
Now 3 to the second power is 9
4/1/9 (4 over 1/9)
Now multiply 4 x 9 (dividing by 1/9 is the same as multiplying by 9)
4 x 9= 36
Medical expenses aren't necessarily a monthly expense since many people are healthy and therefore don't require this on a monthly basis.
The prime factorization is $2016=2^5\times3^2\times7$. Since the problem is only asking us for the distinct prime factors, we have $2,3,7$. Their desired sum is then $\boxed{\textbf{(B) }12}$.
this isn’t an answer but uhm, why are you doing 5th grade equations in HIGH SCHOOL
