Angelina wins money in a competition. She is given the choice as to how she is paid.

Mathematics
1 answer:
NISA [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  • Choice 1
  • 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You are being asked to compare the value of a growing infinite geometric series to a fixed constant. Such a series will always eventually have a sum that exceeds any given fixed constant.

__

<h3>a)</h3>

Angelina will get more money from the Choice 1 method of payment. The sequence of payments is a (growing) geometric sequence, so the payments and their sum will eventually exceed the alternative.

__

<h3>c)</h3>

For a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 2, the sum of n terms of the geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . . . . . . series with first term a1, common ratio r

We want to find n such that ...

  Sn ≥ 1,000,000

  1 × (2^n -1)/(2 -1) ≥ 1,000,000

  2^n ≥ 1,000,001 . . . . add 1

  n ≥ log(1,000,001)/log(2) . . . . . take the base-2 logarithm

  n ≥ 19.93

The total Angelina receives from Choice 1 will exceed $1,000,000 after 20 days.

Gala2k [10]
K:A
5:3 (before)
15:9

since the total number of stamps didn't change, the total ratio should be the same.

7:5(after)
14:10

so this means 1 unit is 10stamps.

14-10=4
4 X 10= 40

Kaye have 40 more stamps than Alberto.

What is the value of B - A as a fraction?
umka21 [38]
Answer:
A = 1/4
B = 3/4

step-by-step explanation:
the middle should be 1/2 because the middle between 0 and 1 is 1/2
A and B are both in the middle of the sides
therefore A would be closer to 0 so 1/4
and B would be closer to 1 so 3/4
