Your brother tells you a secret. You see no harm in telling two friends. After this second
"passing" of the secret, 4 people now know the secret (your brother, you and two friends). If
each of these friends now tells two new people, after the third "passing of the secret, eight
people will know. Write an equation to express the "passing" of the secret. If this pattern of
spreading the secret continues, how many people will know the secret after 10 such
"passings"?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

After n passing, the total number of people knowing the secret [tex]= 2^n[/tex].

After 10 passing, 1024 peoples know the secret.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each friend can pass the secret to 2 people.

On 1st pass:

Total number of people knowing the secret = 1+1=2

On 2nd pass:

Total number of people knowing the secret = 1+1+1x2=4

On 3rd pass:

Total number of people knowing the secret = 1+1+2+2x2=8

This can be written as [tex]1+1+2+2^2=1+1+2+2^{3-1}=8[/tex]

Or, [tex]1+S_3=8[/tex], where [tex]S_3=1+2+2^{3-1}[/tex].

So, for the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] pass:

Total number of people knowing the secret = [tex]1+1+2+2^2+\cdots+2^{n-1}=1+S_n, where, S_n = 1+2+2^2+\cdots+2^{n-1}[/tex].

As [tex]S_n[/tex] is the sum of geometric progression of n terms having the first term, [tex]a_1=1[/tex], and the common radio [tex]r=2[/tex].

So, [tex]S_n = \frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow S_n =\frac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}=2^n-1[/tex].

Hence, after n passing, the total number of people knowing the secret

[tex]=1+S_n = 1+2^n-1=2^n.[/tex]

After, 10 passing, put n=10.

Total number pf peoples know the secret [tex]= 2^{10}=1024.[/tex]

Greg is making accessories for the soccer team. He uses 813.44 inches of fabric on headbands for 37 players and 4 coaches. He also uses 358.16 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Answers

Total number of people including players and coach is, T = 37 + 4 = 41.

Total fabric used for making headbands is, h = 813.44 inches.

So, amount of fabric used for each person is :

[tex]F_h = \dfrac{813.44}{41}\\\\F_h = 19.84\ inches[/tex]

Total fabric used for making wristband is : w = 358.16 inches.

Amount of fabric used for each person is :

[tex]F_w = \dfrac{358.16}{41}\\\\F_w = 8.74 \ inches[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

Mary bought a car priced at $23,500. If the value of the car decreases every year by 9%, approximately what will be the value of the car after 10 years?

Answers

Answer:

$4626.548

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of car = $23,500

Value of car decreases by 9% every year

Value of car after 10 years =?

Using the formula :

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

A = final amount

P = cost of car = principal

r = Depreciation = - 15%

t = number of years

A = 23500(1 + - 0.15/1)^10

A = 23500(0.85)^10

A = $4626.548

How many times will you roll a number less than 4 on a number cube if you rolled it 250 times ?
A) 100
B) 90
C) 125
D) 85

Answers

Answer:

C. 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio for one time is 3:6. It is 3:6 because there are 3 numbers less than 4 on a number cube. You can now compare the two ratios.

3:6 = x/250.

This is a ratio, so both numbers would have to be multiplied by the same number. 6 * 41 = 250.

3 * 41 = 123.

(41 was rounded from 41.6666667. This is why it comes out to 123.)

Question 14

A company paid $391 for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees. They had to purchase 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees for $241. What is the cost of each bush and bonsai tree? Enter your answers in the
boxes below.
Bushes:
Bonsai Tree:

Answers

Answer:

The cost of each bushes is $9.00

The cost of each bonsai trees is $32.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The amount the company paid for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees = $391

The amount for which the company purchased 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees = $241

Let x represent the cost of each bushes and let y represent the cost of each Bonsai Trees, we have;

15 × x + 8 × y = 391...(1)

9 × x + 5 × y = 241...(2)

We make y the subject of both equations to get;

For equation (1), we have;

15·x + 8·y = 391

15·x + 8·y = 391

8·y = 391 - 15·x

y = 391/8 - 15/8·x

For equation (2), we have;

9 × x + 5 × y = 241

5·y = 241 - 9·x

y = 241/5 - 9/5·x

Equating both equations, gives;

391/8 - 15/8·x = 241/5 - 9/5·x

391/8 - 241/5 = 15/8·x - 9/5·x = 0.075·x

0.675 = 0.075·x

x = 0.675/0.075 = 9

x = 9

Therefore, the cost of each bushes = x = $9.00

From, y = 241/5 - 9/5·x, we have;

y = 241/5 - 9/5×9 = 32

y = 32

Therefore, the cost of each bonsai trees = y = $32.00

Kiley is measuring the change in length of a blade of grass each day. Which are the best units for Kiley to report her findings?

Answers

THE BEST UNITS FOR KILEY TO REPORT HER FINDINGS IS CENTIMETRE

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. The best unit for Kiley to report her findings is cms per day.

What is Unit conversion?

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. for, example, 1 centimetre is equal to 10 mm, though the real measurement is still the same the units and numerical values have been changed.

Given that Kiley is measuring the change in length of a blade of grass each day. Now, since the length of the blade of grass is too minute, therefore, it can be measured in either cm, mm, or inches.

But, mm is too small for this measurement, while inches are too big to measure the significant change in the length.

Hence, the best unit for Kiley to report her findings is cms per day.
