Isabella save 2 nickels today, if she doubles the number of Nicole, she saves every day, how many days, including today, will it
Elden [556K]

Answer:

  8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

On day 8, Isabella will save 256 nickels, bringing her total to 510.

_____

The number of nickels saved on day n is 2^n. The total is 2^(n+1)-2.

_____

The above can be written down from your knowledge of binary sequences. If you want a more formal development, read on.

__

The number of nickels saved on day n is a geometric sequence with first term 2 and common ratio 2. The n-th term of the sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1) = 2·2^(n-1) = 2^n

The sum of n terms of the sequence is ...

  S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) = 2(2^n -1)/(2-1)

  S = 2^(n+1) -2

__

We want S > 500, so ...

  500 < 2^(n+1) -2

  502 < 2^(n+1)

  251 < 2^n

  log(251) < n·log(2)

  n > log(251)/log(2)

  n > 7.97 . . . . . . . . 8 days or more to save more than 500 nickels

*If 3 + 4(2x - 1) = 23, then 2x - 2 equals: *​<br><br>2<br><br>4<br><br>6<br><br>8
Anarel [89]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 4(2x - 1) = 23

4(2x - 1) = 20

8x - 4 = 20

8x = 24

x = 3

---------

2(3) - 2

Solve 5x + 14 = k for x​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 1/5(k-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 14 = k

Subtract 14 from each side

5x+14-14 = k-14

5x = k-14

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 1/5(k-14)

x = 1/5(k-14)

before tomorrow can I have a quick answer and maybe an explanation on how to answer these kinds of questions overall? need some
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

  a) maximum; the parabola opens downward

  b) positive; it must lie above the x-axis

  c) x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. The y-values there are zero.

The "differences" of a function are related to the average slope between adjacent points. Second differences are related to the rate of change of the slope of the function. When <em>second differences are negative</em>, as here, the slope of the quadratic function is decreasing, becoming more negative. We say the <em>curvature</em> of the function is <em>negatve</em>, and that it <em>opens downward</em>.

__

<h3>a, b.</h3>

If the graph of the parabola opens downward, and it crosses the x-axis, it must have a <em>maximum</em> that is a <em>positive value of y</em>.

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The graph of a parabola is symmetrical about its vertex. That means points on the same horizontal line are the same distance from the line of symmetry, which must go through the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint between the two x-intercepts:

  x = (-2 +5)/2 = 3/2

The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = 1.5.

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attachment shows a table with three evenly-spaced points on the curve. The calculations show first differences (d1) and second differences (d2). You can see that the sign of the second diffference is negative, in agreement with the given conditions.
