A car salesman sells 1 car on his first day, 2 cars on his second day, 4 cars on his third day, and so on, so that every day after the first, he sells twice as many cars as the day before. How many days does it take him to sell a total of at least 1000 cars?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

every day he doubles the number of sold cars compared to the previous day.

so the sequence goes along the powers of 2 :

1

2

4

8

16

32

64

128

256

512

1024 - so, latest here, of course, at least 1000 cars were sold. that would be day 11.

but - maybe we reached the total of 1000 cars already before that.

as you can see, the number of cars sold on a day is 1 bigger than the sum of cars sold on all previous days.

e.g. 8 = 4 + 2 + 1 + 1

64 ÷ 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1. + 1

therefore, 1024 is bigger by 1 than the sum of the cars Sikhs before that day. so, that sum is 1023 and bigger than 1000.

so, with the 512 cars sold on day 10 he reached and surpassed the total 1000 sold cars mark.

Answer 2

It takes 11 days for the salesman to sell at least 1000 cars.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are not equal.

We can set up an inequality to represent the total number of cars sold after n days using a geometric series, where "a" is the initial number of cars sold, "r" is the common ratio of the series, and "n" is the number of days.

The inequality is : a(1-rⁿ)/(1-r) ≥ 1000

In this case, the initial number of cars sold is 1, the common ratio is 2, and we're trying to find the number of days it takes to sell at least 1000 cars. So we can plug these values into the inequality:

1(1-2ⁿ) ≥ 1000

1-2ⁿ ≥ 1000

2ⁿ ≤ 999

Now we can take the log base 2 of both sides

n ≤ log₂(999) +1

n ≤  9.97+1

n ≤ 11

As the number of days is an integer, it takes 11 days for the salesman to sell at least 1000 cars.

a man has been driving a second hand car for the past four years. over these four years he managed to save 16% as a deposit of the price of the brand new car he wants to buy. the price of the new car is 750 000... calculate the amount he saved for the deposit​

Answers

Answer:

$120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The price of the new car is $750,000

And, the saving percent is 16%

We need to find out the saving amount for the deposit

SO, the saving amount is

= $750,000 × 16%

= $120,000

We simply multiply these two to each other so that the saving amount could come

4. Up until the last game, Sellina has made 75% of her free-throws. If she continues

to make her free-throws at this rate, what is the probability that she will make the

next two free-throws in the next game?

Answers

Answer:

0.5625 = 56.25% probability that she will make the next two free-throws in the next game.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either Sellina makes it, or she misses. The probability of making a free throw is independent of any other free throw. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

75% of her free-throws.

This means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]

What is the probability that she will make the next two free-throws in the next game?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.75)^{2}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.5625[/tex]

0.5625 = 56.25% probability that she will make the next two free-throws in the next game.

In a 3-digit number, the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit and the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit. If the sum of the digits is 11, find the number. Write and equation, where the hundredths digit is x.

Answers

Answer:

The mentioned number in the exercise is:

362

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the mentioned number in the exercise, first you must write the equations you can obtain with it.

If:

x = hundredths digity = tens digitz = ones digit

We can write:

x = z + 1 (the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit).y = 2x (the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit).x + y + z = 11 (the sum of the digits is 11).

Taking into account these data, we can use the third equation and replace it to obtain the number and the value of each digit:

x + y + z = 11(z + 1) + y + z = 11 (remember x = z + 1)z + 1 + y + z = 11z + z +y + 1 = 11 (we just ordered the equation)2z + y + 1 = 11 (z + z = 2z)2z + y = 11 - 1 (we passed the +1 to the other side of the equality to subtract)2z + y = 102z + (2x) = 10 (remember y = 2x)2z + 2x = 102z + 2(z + 1) = 10 (x = z + 1 again)2z + 2z + 2 = 104z + 2 = 104z = 10 - 24z = 8z = 8/4z = 2

Now, we know z (the ones digit) is 2, we can use the first equation to obtain the value of x:

x = z + 1x = 2 + 1x = 3

And we'll use the second equation to obtain the value of y (the tens digit):

y = 2xy = 2(3)y = 6

Organizing the digits, we obtain the number:

Number = xyzNumber = 362

As you can see, the obtained number is 362.

For the remaining portion of the living room not covered by the new flooring, Michelle wants to paint the concrete.

The entire area of concrete, including the painted and unpainted portions, is a total of 31 square feet. Write an equation that could be used to find the unpainted square side length x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^2 + 6 = 31[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Painted = 6ft^2[/tex]

[tex]Total = 31ft^2[/tex]

Dimension of unpainted area:

[tex]Length = Width = x[/tex] --- Square

Required

Determine an expression to solve for x

First, calculate the area of the unpainted space;

[tex]Area = Length *Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = x*x[/tex]

[tex]Area = x^2[/tex]

The unpainted area, added to the painted area, equals the total area.

So, we have:

[tex]Area + Painted = Total[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 6 = 31[/tex]

Hence, the expression is: [tex]x^2 + 6 = 31[/tex]

Answers

the answer to Which table represent a function is 1

The only table that represents a function is the fourth option.

What is a function?

A function is a relation that maps elements from a set (domain) into elements of another set (range).

Such that each element from the domain can be mapped into only one element from the range.

In the table, the "x" values are from the domain, and the "y" values are from the range.

So, if you see a table with the same value of x being mapped into two different values of y, then that relation is not a function.

With that in mind, the only table that meets this property is table number 4.
