Aleka and Helene both opened savings accounts that earn 2.5% interest a year. Aleka puts $2,500 into her account. Helene put $1,500 into her account and also saves $200 cash a year.

x = number of years

Aleka: f(x) = 2500(1.025)x

Helene: g(x) = 1500(1.025)x + 200x

Which function represents the difference, h(x) = f(x) – g(x), between the value of Aleka’s and Helene’s total savings after x years?

h(x) = –1000(1.025)x + 200x
h(x) = 1000(1.025)x + 200x
h(x) = 1000(1.025)x – 200x
h(x) = 4000(1.025)x + 200x

Answers

The function that represents the difference, h(x) = f(x) – g(x), between the value of Aleka’s and Helene’s total savings after x years is C. h(x) = 1000(1.025)x – 200x.

How to illustrate the function?

It should be noted that Aleka and Helene both opened savings accounts that earn 2.5% interest a year. Aleka puts $2,500 into her account.

The function for Aleka will be:

= 2500 (1.025)^x

The function for Helene will be:

= 1500(1./25)^x + 200x

Therefore, the difference of the function will be 1000(1.025)x – 200x.

In conclusion, the correct option is C.

Date
a. Round each value to the nearest ten thousand to estimate how many words Zachary wrote during the
remaining part of the semester.

Answers

In the remaining part of the semester, Zachery wrote an average of 10,000 words per month to complete his final project for the course.

We are given that Zachery has to write a total of 95,234 words.

Total words to be written = 95,234 words.

Words already written in the first month = 35,295 words.

Words already written in the second month = 19,240 words.

Words written in total = 35,295 words + 19,240 words.

= 54,535 words

Words left for writing = 95,234 words - 54,535 words

= 39,699 words

months left = 4

Average Words written in remaining month = 39,699 words / 4

= 9924.75 words.

= 10,000 words.

Therefore, in the remaining part of the semester, Zachery wrote an average of 10,000 words per month to complete his final project for the course.

Define sets U, A, B, and C as shown below. Find A'n (BUC').
U= ({a,b,c,d,e,f.g.h}
A = {f,g,h}
B={a,g,h}
C={a,b,c,d,e)

Answers

Answer:

  {a}

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the set A'∩(B∪C') given the definitions of each of the sets U, A, B, C.

Inverse sets

The inverse of a set is the set of elements of the universal set that are NOT in the given set.

  A' = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h} - {f, g, h} = {a, b, c, d, e}

  C' =  {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h} - {a, b, c, d, e} = {f, g, h}

Union

The union of two sets is the list of elements in either of the two sets.

  B∪C' = {a, g, h} +{f, g, h} = {a, f, g, h}

Intersection

The intersection of two sets is the list of elements common to both:

  A'∩(B∪C') = {a, b, c, d, e} ∩ {a, f, g, h} = {a}

Dana has driven her car 95,598 miles. She estimates she can
drive the car another 5000 miles before the mileage reaches
100,000 miles. Use the rules for estimating differences to
explain if Dana is correct.

Answers

Answer: Dana estimation is incorrect because difference = 598 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

Dana has driven her car 95,598 miles.

She estimates she can

drive the car another 5000 miles.

she can,

drive the car another 5000 miles before the mileage reaches

100,000 miles.

Estimated Mileage of the car is equal to 100,000 miles.

That is,        

Estimated  Mileage of the car is = 100,000 miles.

So,

We can write,

Total distance Dana has to travel = already driven + additional miles to cover

Total distance Dana has to travel = 95,598 + 5,000 miles

Total distance Dana has to travel = 1,00,598 miles.  

As per mileage of car is  100,000 miles.

So, Dana has to travel = 1,00,598 miles.  

So, Dana estimation is incorrect because difference is = 100,598 - 100,000

Therefore,  

Dana estimation is incorrect because difference = 598 miles

In a warehouse, there are 2 robots that work together. They move in the same direction concurrently, so if one moves North, they both North. The robots will follow any instructions they’re given and will collect any objects they find along the way. They only take instructions by the points of the compass and can only move in 4 directions (N, E, S, W).

For example, if the 2 robots are given the directions: “N, E, S”, then Robot A will collect a ball and Robot B will collect a hat.


Write the directions the robots would need to follow to collect the following objects, remembering that both robots get the same directions, and assuming that for each question they start off in the same (pictured above) positions:

1. Robot A: ball Robot B: ball
2. Robot A: hat, ball Robot B: box, hat
3. Robot A: ball, ball Robot B: hat, ball

Answers

1.  For collecting balls by both Robot A and B the direction will be N->E->E

2. For collecting hat and ball by Robot A and box and hat by Robot B, the direction will be N->N->S->E->E

3. For collecting both the balls by Robot A and a hat and ball by Robot B, the direction will be E->E->N

The direction that both Robot A and Robot B can take are N, E, S and W

For Part 1:

Robot A and Robot B need to collect the ball which is in the 2nd row 5th column for Robot A and 4th row 3rd column for Robot B, therefore the direction will be:

=N->E->E

For Part 2:

Robot A needs to collect a hat and ball which are in the 1st-row third column and 2nd row 5th column respectively. Robot B needs to collect a box and a hat which are in the 3rd row 1st column and 4th row 3rd column respectively. Therefore, the direction will be:

= N->N->S->E->E

For Part 3:

Robot A needs to collect both the balls which are in the 3rd-row 4th column and 2nd row 5th column respectively. Robot B needs to collect a hat and a ball which are in the 5th row and 2nd column & 4th row 3rd column respectively. Therefore, the directions will be:

A number added to -19 is -21
x= -19 +21
-19-21 = x
-19 + x = -21
x -21 = -19

Answers

Answer:

  (c)  -19 + x = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the mathematical expression equivalent to the English sentence "a number added to -19 is -21."

Expressions

Addition is written using the math plus symbol (+).

The English word "is" usually signifies sameness or equality, expressed using the math equal sign (=).

The variable x is often used to represent "a number."

When a number is added to -19, we start with -19, then, using the plus symbol, we add x:

  "a number added to -19"   ⇒   -19 + x

  "is"   ⇒   =

   "-21"   ⇒   -21

So, the translated description is ...

  -19 + x = -21

The z-score is given as

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and x is the sample.

One significant manufacturer's batteries are known to have a shelf life that is regularly distributed, with an average life of 3.5 years and a standard deviation of 0.75 years.

The value of the z-score will be

z = (1.25 - 3.5) / 0.75, (5.75 - 3.5) / 0.75

z = -3, 3

The percentage of batteries that last between 1.25 and 5.75 years will be

P(1.25 < x < 5.75) = P(- 3 < z < 3) x 100

Answers

The value of the account is $47226.73.

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A = P( 1 + r/n )^{nt}

where  A is the Final Investment Value, P is the Principal amount of money that is to be invested, r is the rate of interest, t is the Number of Time Periods, and n is the number of times interest is compounded per year.

Now, we have:

t = 21 years

Principal amount, P = $9000

Rate, r = 8% = 0.08 and

n = 12 as a year has 12 months.

Substituting these values in the formula,

[tex]A = P( 1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

A = 9000 × ( 1 + 0.08/12)²⁵²

A = 9000 × ( 1 + 0.0066)²⁵²

A = 9000 × ( 1.0066)²⁵²

A = 9000 × 5.247

A = 47226.73

Answers

The length of rectangular room is 9.5 meter.

The width of rectangular room is 5 meter.

What is Perimeter of rectangular?

The perimeter of a rectangle is two time the sum of length and width of rectangle.

Given that;

The perimeter of rectangular room = 29 meter

The length of rectangular room is 1.9 times as long as it is wide.

Now, Let the width of rectangular room = x

Then Length of rectangular room = 1.9x

Since, Perimeter of rectangular room = 2 ( length + width)

⇒ 29 =  2 (1.9x + x)

⇒ 29 = 2 * 2.9x

⇒ x = 5

Hence, The length of rectangular room = 1.9x

                                                             = 1.9 * 5

                                                             = 9.5 meter

The width of rectangular room is = x

                                                    = 5 meter.

So, The length of rectangular room is 9.5 meter.
