One solution.. what you're describing is two lines that intersect at the common y intercept. This will be the only point that satisfies both equations in the system.
The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. ... If there is an odd amount of numbers, the median value is the number that is in the middle, with the same amount of numbers below and above.
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
