Number of cans donated the second week = 146
Number of cans donated the third week = c, where c is some positive number
Add up the three values (132, 146, and c) to get 132+146+c. I'm choosing not to simplify because each answer choice hasn't simplified either.
The expression of 132+146+c represents the total amount of cans donated for weeks 1 through 3. We want "at least 325 cans", so that means the expression is 325 or larger. That translates to this inequality
[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]
The "greater than or equal to" sign indicates we want that sum to be 325 or larger.
Now we solve for c
[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]
[tex]278+c \ge 325[/tex]
[tex]278+c-278 \ge 325-278[/tex]
[tex]c \ge 47[/tex]
So the amount of cans donated for week three needs to be 47 or larger. If you collect exactly 47 cans for week three, then you meet the goal of 325 total cans. If you collect more than 47 cans for week three, then you exceed the goal of 325 total cans.
------------------------------------
In summary we have the inequality
[tex]132+146+c \ge 325[/tex]
which solves to
[tex]c \ge 47[/tex]
Meaning that the answer is choice D

In ΔABC shown below, point A is at (0, 0), point B is at (x2, 0), point C is at (x1, y1), point D is at x sub 1 over 2, y sub 1 over 2, and point E is at the quantity of x sub 1 plus x sub 2 over 2, y sub 1 over 2: Triangle ABC is shown. Point D lies on segment AC and point E lies on segment BC. A segment is drawn between points D and E. Point A is at the origin. Prove that segment DE is parallel to segment AB.
Answers
Segment AB has slope 0. Segment DE, with midpoints of AC and BC, also has slope 0. Thus, DE is parallel to AB.
To prove that segment DE is parallel to segment AB, we need to show that the slopes of both segments are equal.
The slope of segment AB, denoted as [tex]\( m_{AB} \)[/tex], can be calculated using the coordinates of points A and B:
[tex]\[ m_{AB} = \frac{{y_B - y_A}}{{x_B - x_A}} \][/tex]
Given that point A is at (0, 0) and point B is at [tex]\((x_2, 0)\)[/tex], the slope [tex]\( m_{AB} \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ m_{AB} = \frac{{0 - 0}}{{x_2 - 0}} = 0 \][/tex]
Now, let's find the coordinates of points D and E.
Point D lies on segment AC, so it is at the midpoint of segment AC. Therefore, the coordinates of point D, denoted as [tex]\((x_{D}, y_{D})\)[/tex], are the average of the coordinates of points A and C:
[tex]\[ x_{D} = \frac{{x_1 + 0}}{2} = \frac{{x_1}}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y_{D} = \frac{{y_1 + 0}}{2} = \frac{{y_1}}{2} \][/tex]
Similarly, point E lies on segment BC, so it is at the midpoint of segment BC. Therefore, the coordinates of point E, denoted as [tex]\((x_{E}, y_{E})\)[/tex], are the average of the coordinates of points B and C:
[tex]\[ x_{E} = \frac{{x_1 + x_2}}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y_{E} = \frac{{y_1 + 0}}{2} = \frac{{y_1}}{2} \][/tex]
Now, let's calculate the slope of segment DE, denoted as [tex]\( m_{DE} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ m_{DE} = \frac{{y_{E} - y_{D}}}{{x_{E} - x_{D}}} \][/tex]
Substituting the coordinates of points D and E:
[tex]\[ m_{DE} = \frac{{\frac{{y_1}}{2} - \frac{{y_1}}{2}}}{{\frac{{x_1 + x_2}}{2} - \frac{{x_1}}{2}}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ m_{DE} = \frac{0}{{\frac{{x_1 + x_2 - x_1}}{2}}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ m_{DE} = 0 \][/tex]
Since the slopes of segments AB and DE are both equal to 0, we can conclude that segment DE is parallel to segment AB.
$5.50 markup 75% what is the selling prize
Answers
To calculate the selling price with a 75% markup on a $5.50 item, multiply the original cost by 0.75 to find the markup amount and then add it to the original cost. The final selling price is $9.63.
Calculating the Selling Price with a Markup
To determine the selling price of an item with a 75% markup, follow these steps:
Determine the original cost of the item, which is $5.50 in this case.Calculate the markup amount by multiplying the original cost by the markup percentage. Express the percentage as a decimal:Markup Amount = Original Cost × Markup Percentage
Markup Amount = $5.50 × 0.75 = $4.125Add the markup amount to the original cost to get the selling price:
Selling Price = Original Cost + Markup Amount
Selling Price = $5.50 + $4.125 = $9.625Optionally, round the selling price to two decimal places (if necessary):
Selling Price ≈ $9.63
Therefore, the selling price for the item with a 75% markup on an original cost of $5.50 is $9.63.

A city's current population is 1,000,000 people. It is growing at a rate of 3.5% per year. The equation P=1,000,000(1.035)^x models the city's population growth where x is the number of years from the current year. In approximately how many years will the pooulation be 1,400,000? Round to nearest tenth
Answers
P=1,000,000(1.035)^x
We substitute the population desired to be reached to the equation and evaluate the value of x.
P=1,000,000(1.035)^x
1400000=1,000,000(1.035)^x
7/5 = 1.035^x
ln 7/5 = ln 1.035^x
x = ln 7/5 / ln 1.035
x = 9.78
Therefore, the number of years needed to reach a population of 1400000 with a starting population of 1000000 would be approximately 10 years.

Because there are 3 3's you can pull out the root of 9, which is one of those 3's. It will then simplify to
[tex]3 \sqrt{3} [/tex]
If you had the square root of 8, that would simplify to

if z=2.5, x=102 and x=100, what is s?
Answers
I believe the problem ask for s which is the standard deviation. We must recall that the formula for z statistic is stated as:
z = (x – x over bar) / s
Where,
z = z statistic = 2.5
x = sample value or sample score = 102
x over bar = the sample mean or sample average = 100
s = standard deviation = unknown
Rewriting the equation in terms of s:
s = (x – x over bar) / z
Substituting the given values into the equation:
s = (102 – 100) / 2.5
s = 0.8
Therefore the standard deviation s is 0.8

We have weekly saving of $2.50, the target amount of $85.98 and the amount carried forward from birthday present of $35, We want to work out the number of weeks we need to save to buy season pass
By working backwards, the steps are
[tex]85.98-35=50.98[/tex] ⇒ We subtract the birthday money from the season-pass fee
[tex]50.98/2.50 = 20.392[/tex] ≈ 21 Weeks ⇒ We divide by the amount we save every week
The answer is rounded up to 21 weeks
Question b)
Let the number of weeks be '[tex]x[/tex]' and the season-pass fee be '[tex]y[/tex]'
The equation that represents the context is
[tex]y=35+25x[/tex]
In words: To achieve the value [tex]y[/tex] we need to multiply [tex]x[/tex] by $2.50 (saving) and add $35 (birthday money)
We know that [tex]y=85.98[/tex] as this is the amount we aim to achieve by saving $2.50 per week. Substituting this into the equation we formed earlier we have
[tex]85.98=35+2.5x[/tex] ⇒ Subtract 35 from both sides
[tex]85.98-35=35-35+2.5x[/tex]
[tex]50.98=2.5x[/tex] ⇒ Divide both sides by 2.5
[tex] \frac{50.98}{2.5}= \frac{2.5x}{2.5} [/tex]
[tex]x=20.392[/tex] ≈ 21
We round the answer to 21 weeks. We achieve the same answer with part a)
Question c)
This time, we aim to save $85.98 by the end of 11th week. We might need to adjust the amount we save per week. We will use the same equation we form in part b) but this time we will use the variable [tex]'s'[/tex] to represent the amount of weekly saving.
[tex]y=35+11s[/tex] ⇒ where [tex]y[/tex] is the season pass fee, '35' is the birthday money, '11' is the number of weeks, and [tex]'s'[/tex] is the amount of saving
We have [tex]y=85.98[/tex]
[tex]85.98=35+11s[/tex]
[tex]85.98-35=11s[/tex]
[tex]50.98=11s[/tex]
[tex]s= \frac{50.98}{11}=4.6345 [/tex] ≈ 5
The answer is $5 to be saved for 11 weeks to achieve $85.98
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the same equation to work out the number of weeks we need to save $2.50 per week if we have to pay the higher price of season pass fee of $120.98
[tex]y=35+2.50x[/tex]
[tex]120.98=35+2.5x[/tex]
[tex]120.98-35=2.5x[/tex]
[tex]85.98=2.5x[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{85.98}{2.5}=34.392 [/tex]≈ 35 weeks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we can start saving as early as possible, then 21 weeks of $2.50/week would work for the cheaper price of season-fee and we don't need to adjust the budget. However, if we still want to aim for $85.98 season pass fee, but only have fewer weeks to save, then adjusting budget is necessary. We can perhaps decide not to go bowling every week so we can use the budget for saving instead, or we can alternate between bowling and movie every week.
Question d)
Using the original budget, we work out a third of $2.50 which is 2.5÷3 = 0.83
It means we have 2.5-0.83 = 1.6 left to save weekly.
Using the same equation with part b)
[tex]y=35+1.6x[/tex] ⇒ Notice that we adjust the constant 2.5 to 1.6
[tex]85.98 = 35+1.6x[/tex] ⇒ We still aim to save for the cheapest season-pass
[tex]85.98-35=1.6x[/tex]
[tex]50.98=1.6x[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{50.98}{1.6}=31.8625 [/tex] ≈ 32 weeks
We will have 32 weeks × $0.83 = $26.56 to buy gift for Mother.
Question e)
From information from part a) to part d), there are many different ways to adjust the budget.

Find an explicit rule for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are 20 and 2500, respectively.
Answers
The formula for geometric sequence is given by:
nth=ar^(n-1)
where:
a=1st term
r=common ratio
n=nth term
thus the 2nd term is:
20=ar^(2-1)
20=ar......i
the 5th term is:
2500=ar^(5-1)
2500=ar^4.......ii
from i
a=20/r
from ii
a=2500/r^4
therefore:
20/r=2500/r^4
multiplying through by r^4 we get:
20r^3=2500
dividing both sides by 20 we get:
r^3=125
hence;
r=5
substituting the value of r in i we get:
20=ar
20=5a
thus;
a=4
the formula for the sequence will therefore be:
nth=ar^(n-1)
nth=4*5^(n-1)
Answer:
The explicit formula of the geometric sequence is:
[tex]a_n=4\times 5^{n-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit formula is the expression where the nth term is given in terms of the first term of the sequence.
We know that the explicit formula for a geometric sequence is given by:
[tex]a_n=(a_1)^{r-1}[/tex]
Here we are given:
The second and fifth terms as: 20 and 2500 respectively.
i.e.
[tex]a_2=20[/tex] and [tex]a_5=2500[/tex]
i.e.
[tex]ar=20\ and\ ar^4=2500[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\dfrac{ar}{ar^4}=\dfrac{20}{2500}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{r^3}=\dfrac{1}{125}\\\\\\(\dfrac{1}{r})^3=(\dfrac{1}{5})^3\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{r}=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\\r=5[/tex]
Also,
we have:
[tex]ar=20\\\\i.e.\\\\a\times 5=20\\\\i.e.\ a=4[/tex]
Hence, the explicit formula is given by:
[tex]a_n=4\times 5^{n-1}[/tex]
How many 6-digit numbers can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, if repetitions of digits are allowed?
Answers
Final answer:
There can be 900,000 unique 6-digit numbers formed using the digits 0-9 with repetitions allowed, considering the first digit cannot be 0.
Explanation:
Calculating 6-Digit Numbers with Repetitions
The question pertains to the number of unique 6-digit combinations that can be made from the digits 0-9 when repetitions are allowed. Since the first digit of a 6-digit number cannot be 0 (as it would make the number a 5-digit number), there are 9 possibilities for the first digit (1-9). For each of the five remaining positions, all 10 digits (0-9) are possibilities because we are allowing repetitions. Therefore, the total number of combinations is calculated by multiplying the possibilities for each digit place.
The solution is as follows: 9 possibilities for the first digit times 10 possibilities for each of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth digits.
9 (first digit) * 10 (second digit) * 10 (third digit) * 10 (fourth digit) * 10 (fifth digit) * 10 (sixth digit) = 900,000 unique 6-digit numbers that can be formed.

A game spinner is divided into 5 equal sections numbered 1 to 5. How many outcomes are in the sample space for 4 spins of this spinner? a. 625 b. 125 c. 20 d. 500
Answers
spin 2 ~ 5
spin 3 ~ 5
spin 4 ~ 5
5 * 5* 5 * 5 = 5^ 4 = 625
Letter A
The correct option is a. 625.
The total number of outcomes in 4 spins of the spinner can be found by multiplying the number of outcomes in one spin by itself 4 times, resulting in 625 outcomes.
The sample space for 4 spins of the spinner can be calculated by raising the number of outcomes in one spin to the power of the number of spins.
In this case, as there are 5 outcomes on the spinner, the total number of outcomes in 4 spins would be 5^4 = 625.
Therefore, the correct option is a. 625.
Grace is half her father joseph's age. in 10 years grace will be three-fifths joseph's age. ten years ago, grace was one third joseph's age. how old are grace and joseph now
Answers
After setting up a system of equations based on the given age relationships and solving for both Grace and Joseph, we deduce that Grace is 20 years old and Joseph is 40 years old currently.
Let's denote Grace's current age as G and Joseph's current age as J. According to the problem, Grace is half of Joseph's age, so we have the first equation:
G = 0.5 * J
In 10 years, Grace will be three-fifths of Joseph's age, giving us the second equation:
G + 10 = (3/5) * (J + 10)
Ten years ago, Grace was one-third of Joseph's age, which gives us the third equation:
G - 10 = (1/3) * (J - 10)
We now have a system of three equations with two variables. We can solve this system to find the current ages of Grace and Joseph. After solving for G and J, we find that Grace is 20 years old and Joseph is 40 years old.
