Answer:

The answer is $1.85

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given;</h3>

The cost of 5 chocolate bars = $5.75
The cost of 2 chocolate bars and 3 packets of sweets = $7.85

The cost of one packet of sweets.

Now, we know that the cost of 5 chocolate bars are $5.75.

For 1 chocolate bar

5.75 ÷ 5 = $1.15

Here, we get the price of 1 chocolate bar

So, the cost of 2 chocolate bars and 3 packets of sweets are $7.85.

2 × chocolate bar = 2 × (1.15) = $2.3

Now, we want to find only the cost of one packet of sweets.

So,

7.85 – 2.3 = $5.55

3 packets of sweets cost $5.55

For 1 packets of sweets

5.55 ÷ 3 = $1.85

Thus, The cost of one packet of sweets = $1.85

Consider this exponential equation:

ioda

Step-by-step explanation:

F( x ) = 5 (3) ^ x

Y intercept

Let x = 0

f(0) = 5× 3 ^ 0

f(0 = 5 × 1

f(0) = 5

X intercept

let y = o

0 = 5 × 3 ^x

No x intercept/ zero

therefore

Vertical intercept (0; 5)

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2$

Now,

$1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016$

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224$

numbers, and their sum is

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400$

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of $1+9\times2=19$ .

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.

$\text{Apply Pythagorean theorem,}\\\\~~~~~~~~\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2 + \text{Perpendicular}^2\\\\\implies 9^2 = \text{Base}^2 + \left(2\sqrt{14} \right)^2\\\\\implies 81 = \text{Base}^2 + 56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 81-56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 25\\\\\implies \text{Base} = \sqrt{25}\\\\\implies \text{Base} = 5\\\\\text{The length of the third side is 5 units.}$
