A student decides she wants to save money to buy a used car, which costs $2600.She comes upwith what she thinks is a very modest savings plan. She decides to save 2 cents the first day anddouble the amount she saves each day thereafter. On the second day she plans to save 4 cents, onthe third day, 8 cents, and so on.

(a)Write an expression that represents the amount savedon dayn;(b)Write an expression that represents the total amount savedby dayn (including day n);(c)Determine how long it will take her to save enough money to buy the car (The answermay surprise you!)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: total cost to be saved is $2600. Her saving pattern is 2, 4, 8,…

a) The pattern of her saving is in geometric sequence. i.e. a=2, r=4/2=2 0r 8/4=2 ( a = First term, r = common ratio) so, expression for amount saved on day (n) = t(n) = ar^(n-1), where: a = first day of saving r = common ration n = number of day

b) Expression that represents the total amount saved by day (n) (including day n) = S = a(r^n-1)/r-1 where: S = sum of amount saved a = first day of saving r = common ration n = number of day

c) To buy the car, she needs at least $2600 which is equal 260000 cents.  S = a(r^n-1)/r-1 = 260000 = 2(2^n-1)/r-1 = 260000/2 = 2^n-1/2-1 = 130000 = 2n^-1 = 130000+1 = 2^n = 130001 = 2^n = n = ln(130001)/ln(2) = n = 16.988

So… for n to satisfy the least value of 130001 cents, n should be at least 17 Therefore it will take at least 17 days for her to save enough money to buy a car

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It will take her about 17 days to buy the car worth 260000 cents

If a student decides she wants to save money to buy a used car that cost $2600 (260,000 cents)

If she saves 2 cents the first day and doubles the amount thereafter, the sequence of savings will be:

2, 4, 8...

This sequence is geometric in nature

In order to determine how long it will take her to save 260,000, we will use the sum of a GP formula expressed as:

[tex]S_n = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

Given the folowing

a = 2

r = 4/2 = 8/4 = 2

Sn = 260,000

Substitute into the formula the given parameters

[tex]260000= \frac{2(2^n-1)}{2-1}\\260000/2=2^n-1\\130000 = 2^n - 1\\2^n = 130000 + 1\\2^n = 130001\\nlog 2=log130001\\n = \frac{log130001}{log2} \\n \approx 17[/tex]

This shows that it will take her about 17 days to buy the car worth 260000 cents

what’s the value of x? and what’s the measure of angel JHK?

Answers

Answer:

x = 14

JHK =  21

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal

3x-21 = x+7

Subtract x from each side

3x-x -21 = x+7-x

2x-21 = 7

Add 21 to each side

2x-21+21 = 7+21

2x = 28

Divide by 2

2x/2 =28/2

x = 14

JHK = 3x-21 = 3(14) -21 = 42-21 = 21

Answer:

Because ∠GHI and ∠JHK are vertical angles, they're congruent. Therefore, set their angle measures equal to each other & solve for x.

[tex]x+7=3x-21\\x-3x=-7-21\\-2x=-28\\x=\frac{-28}{-2} =14\°[/tex]

Substitute in the value of x to find ∠JHK:

[tex]3x-21=3(14)-21=42-21=21\°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I have uploaded a graph for you. The x axis is the number of years. The y axis is the salary multiplied by 1000. I should have made the multiplication factor 10000 but 1000 will do.

The 5 given points are plotted in red. The blue line is the function.

The function is y = 5x + 35. That means for every year you add 5 times the year onto the salary.

No years is 35000

1 year is 1 * 5000 + 35000

2 years is 2 * 5000 + 35000 = 45000

6 years is 5 * 5000 * 35000 = 65000

and so on.

The point you want is x = 12

12 years is 12 * 5000 + 35000 = 95000

Steve thinks he can drive legally 30 minutes after he drinks 5 beers. The legal limit is BAC = 0.08. Give a 90% prediction interval for Steve’s BAC. Can he be confident he won’t be arrested if he drives and is stopped?

Answers

Answer: Hello your question has some missing data attached below is the missing data

How well does the number of beers a student drinks predict his or her blood alcohol content (BAC)? Sixteen student volunteers at Ohio State University drank a randomly assigned number of 12-ounce cans of beer. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their BAC. Here are the data. The students were equally divided between men and women and differed in weight and usual drinking habits. Because of this variation, many students don’t believe that number of drinks predicts BAC well.

answer:

prediction  interval : (0.040 , 0.114)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Confidence level = 90%

Legal limit ( BAC ) = 0.08

solution

sample size = 16

Degree of freedom ( df ) = 14

critical t value =  1.761

X =  4.81

Σ(x-x)² (Sx) =  72.44

also standard error of estimates = 0.0204

Y=  -0.01270  +  0.01796 * 5 = 0.077

given that ; the predicted value of Y at x = 5

Considering individual response Y

standard error = 0.0211

margin of error = 1.761 * 0.021 = 0.0371

Hence the limits of the prediction interval is :

Lower limit  = 0.077 - 0.037 = 0.040.

Upper limit = 0.077 + 0.037 = 0.114

Finally

90% prediction interval  =  (0.040 , 0.114)
