How can $500 be divided between four people so that each person gets $20 more than the person before.

Mathematics

Answer:

$95, $115, $135, $155

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first person gets x dollars:

the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars

the next person gets x + 40 dollars

and the last person gets x + 60 dollars

We add all these allocations together, and we get $500

x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500

Combine like terms

4x + 120 = 500

Subtract 120 on both sides

4x = 380

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 95

So the first person gets $95.

The second person must get $115

The third must get $135

And the fourth must get $155

Checking our work:

95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500

Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area of a rectangular prism = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Where l = length, w = width and h = height

The box has the following dimensions

length = 5 in

width = 3 in

height 2 in

Using these dimensions, we plug in the values into the formula

SA=2(5*3)+2(5*2)+2(3*2)\\5*3=15\\15*2=30\\5*2=10\\10*2=20\\3*2=6\\6*2=12\\SA=30+20+12\\30+20+12=62

Hence, the surface area = 62

The elevation at ground level is 0 feet. An elevator starts 90 feet below ground level. After traveling for 15 seconds, the elev
defon

Unfortunately there was no choice in which we can choose our answer to this item. However, looking into the situation given in this item, it may be deduced that the distance traveled by the elevator after 15 seconds is equal to 70 ft. The rate of change in elevation of the elevator is therefore 70ft/15s which is also equal to 4.67 ft/s.

Which graph represents an exponential function?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:The function that represents an exponential function is the 4th graph and it can be modeled as y = aeᵇˣ.

What are exponential functions?

The exponential functions are written in the form of y = aeᵇˣ, where the output y increases exponentially for the input x.

In order to find the graph that represents an exponential function, we will discuss each of the following graphs,

For the 1st graph, (Black),

In the first graph, the graph is of a parabola, and the function which represents this kind of graph is a quadratic equation, therefore, this graph represents a parabolic equation. It is given by the function,

y=ax²+bx+c or y=a(x-h)²+k

For the 2nd graph, (Red),

In the second graph, the graph represented is the graph of a reciprocal function, the function that can be represented by the graph,

y=a/x + b

For the 3rd graph, (Blue),

In the third graph, the graph represented is the graph of root function, it can be modeled as,

y = a+√(x+b)

For the 4th graph, (Green),

In the fourth graph, the graph represented is the graph of an exponential function, and it can be modeled as,

y = aeᵇˣ

Hence, the function that represents an exponential function is the 4th graph and it can be modeled as y = aeᵇˣ.
