Question: You are playing your favorite video game, Hero's Quest. In the game, you can complete missions to earn experience points. You may complete a mission as many times as you would like, but each time you do, you only receive 80% as much experience as the previous time. The first time that you complete Mission A, you earn 1000 experience, points. The second time you complete it, you earn 800 experience points. How many times can you complete the mission before you earn less than 400 points? Explain your answer​

Answers

Answer 1

Using a geometric sequence, it is found that you can complete the mission 5 times before you earn less than 400 points.

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

In this problem, the amount of points after n times is a geometric sequence with [tex]a_1 = 1000, q = 0.8[/tex], hence the equation is:

[tex]a_n = 1000(0.8)^{n-1}[/tex]

You will earn less than 400 points when:

[tex]a_n < 400[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]1000(0.8)^{n-1} < 400[/tex]

[tex](0.8)^{n-1} < 0.4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.8^n}{0.8} < 0.4[/tex]

[tex]0.8^n < 0.32[/tex]

[tex]\log{0.8^n} < \log{0.32}[/tex]

[tex]n > \frac{\log{0.32}}{\log{0.8}}[/tex]

[tex]n > 5.1[/tex]

You can complete the mission 5 times before you earn less than 400 points.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -2/3x + 4 and that passes through (–2,–2)?
y = 3/2x - 3/10
y = 3/2x - 5
y = 3/2x + 1
y = 3/2x - 2/3

Answers

Answer:  y = 3/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:  For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of  "m"  and reverse the sign.

- 2/3 becomes +3/2

Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"

y = mx + b

-2 = 3/2(-2) + b

-2 = -3 + b

-2 +3 = b

+1 = b   Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1


What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -7) and is
perpendicular to the line 6x + 5y = 30?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Product of slope of perpendicular lines = -1

6x + 5y = 30

Write this equation in y = mx + b  form

        5y = -6x + 30

          y = [tex]\frac{-6}{5}x+\frac{30}{5}[/tex]

          [tex]y=\frac{-6}{5}x + 6[/tex]

Slope of this line m₁ = -6/5

m₁ * m₂ = -1

      m₂ = -1÷m₁ = -1 * [tex]\frac{5}{-6}[/tex]  

[tex]m_{2}=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]     & (-6 , -7)

Equation of the required line: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

[tex]y - (-7) = \frac{5}{6}(x - [-6])\\\\y + 7 = \frac{5}{6}x + 6 *\frac{5}{6}\\\\y = \frac{5}{6}x +5-7\\\\y=\frac{5}{6}x-2[/tex]

Answers

Given:

Points D, E, and F are non-collinear.

To find:

Number of lines that pass through F and are perpendicular  to DE.

Solution:

Points D, E, and F are non-collinear. It means points D, E and F are not lie on a  single straight line.

We know that, the number of perpendicular lines on a line from a particular point is 1.

So, number of lines that pass through F and are perpendicular  to DE is 1 as shown in the below figure.

Robert believes the lines graphed at right are perpendicular, but Mario is not convinced. What is the slope of each line? Explain how you know whether or not the lines are perpendicular. ​

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to be sure two lines are perpendicular is if the product of both slopes equals -1.

That is: [tex] (m_1)(m_2) = -1 [/tex]. Where, m1 and m2 are slopes of both lines respectively.

Let's find the slope of the both lines.

Slope of the line that slants upward from left to right using coordinates (0, 0) and (2, 2) of two points on the line:

[tex] m_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{2}{2} [/tex]

[tex] m_1 = 1 [/tex]

Slope of the line that slants downwards from left to right using coordinates (2, 2) and (0, 4) of two points on the line:

[tex] m_2 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4 - 2}{0 - 2} = \frac{2}{-2} [/tex]

[tex] m_2 = -1 [/tex]

Find the product of both slopes

[tex] (m_1)(m_2) = (1)(-1) = -1 [/tex]

Therefore, we know the lines are perpendicular because [tex] (m_1)(m_2) = -1 [/tex].

Which polynomial function gets larger and larger in the negative direction as x gets

larger and larger in the negative direction?

a. f(x) = 5x2 – 2x + 1

b. f(x) = 6x3 + 4x2 – 15x + 32

c. f(x) = 7x4 – 2x3 + 3x2 + 8x – 10

d. f(x) = 8x6 + 1

Answers

Given:

x gets  larger and larger in the negative direction.

To find:

The polynomial function which gets larger and larger in the negative direction.

Solution:

In options a, c and d, degree of polynomials are even and leading coefficient is positive. So,

[tex]f(x)\to \infty\text{ as }x\to -\infty[/tex]

In option b, degree of polynomial is odd and leading coefficient is positive. So,

[tex]f(x)\to -\infty\text{ as }x\to -\infty[/tex]

Therefore, the function in option b, [tex]f(x)=6x^3+4x^2-15x+32[/tex] gets larger and larger in the negative direction as x gets  larger and larger in the negative direction.

Hence, the correct option is b.

We want to see which polynomial function gets larger and larger as the variable increases in the negative direction. We will see that the correct option is d: f(x) = 8x^6 + 1

Here you need to remember two things.

As the larger the exponent is, the faster the polynomial grows.

When we evaluate a negative number in an even exponent, the outcome is always positive.

Then the polynomials that get larger and larger as x increases in the negative direction are all the polynomials with a even leading exponent, particularly, the one that increases faster is the one with the largest leading exponent, which is:

d. f(x) = 8x^6 + 1

Josh but a total of 30 cans of cola and root beer. There were twice as many cans of cola is cans of root beer. How many cans of color did he buy?

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

start by using system of equations

x = cola

y = root beer

x + y = 30

x = 2y

now either use substitution or elimination. for me, substitution is easier.

the second equation already has one variable isolated ( x ) so, plug that into the first equation.

2y + y = 30

y = 10

now plug your answer into the original equation.

x + 10 = 30

a. the measure of angle A is 113 degrees

the measure of angle B is 67 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, linear pairs have a sum of 180 degrees when added. So, if you add your angle measures and set it equal to 180, then you just need to solve from there.

7x-13+3x+13=180

combine like terms

(7x+3x)+(-13+13)=180

10x+0=180

10x=180

divide both sides by 10 to isolate x

x=18

now that you have x, plug it into your angle measures
