4. Jim and Kirk are playing a card game where they trade chips. At the beginning of the game, Jim has four times as many chips as Kirk does. After Kirk wins the game, Jim gives Kirk 18 of his chips, at which point they now have the same number of chips. How many did Kirk have to begin with?

(a) If j represents the original number of chips Jim had and k represents the original number of chips that Kirk had, then write an equation that models the amount of chips they originally had. Explain your equation.

(b) The equation j k − = + 18 18models the scenario after Kirk wins the game. Explain why.

(c) Determine how many chips both Kirk and Jim started with.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) [tex]j = 4k[/tex]

(b) [tex]4k - 18 = 18 + k[/tex]

(c) Jim initially had 48; Kirk initially had 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]j = Jim[/tex]

[tex]k=Krik[/tex]

Solving (a): An equation for the amount they originally had.

From the question, we understand that j is 4 times as many as k.

Mathematically, this is:

[tex]j = 4 * k[/tex]

[tex]j = 4k[/tex]

Solving (b): Equation after Kirk wins

Initially Kirk had k.

To get the new expression, we add 18 to k.

This gives: 18 + k

In the same vein, Jim's number of chirps will reduce by 18.

Initially, Jim had j chirps (or 4k chirps)

To get the new expression, we subtract 18 from j.

This gives: j - 18

So, the equation is:

[tex]j - 18 = 18 +k[/tex]

Solving (c): Number of chirps they started with.

In (b), we have:

[tex]j - 18 = 18 +k[/tex]

Substitute 4k for j

[tex]4k - 18 = 18 + k[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4k - k = 18 + 18[/tex]

[tex]3k = 36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]k =12[/tex]

Substitute 12 for k in [tex]j = 4k[/tex]

[tex]j = 4 * 12[/tex]

[tex]j = 48[/tex]

Kristin's credit rating was lowered, and the credit card company raised her APR from 14% to 15.2%. If her average daily balance this month is x dollars, express algebraically the increase in this month's finance charge due to the higher APR. Fill in the blank 1

Answers

Answer:

0.0022x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The credit card company raised her APR from 14% to 15.2%.

Her average daily balance this month is x dollars.

We need to find the algebraically the increase in this month's finance charge due to the higher APR. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]y=x\times \dfrac{12\%}{14}-x\times \dfrac{15.2\%}{14}\\\\=x\times \dfrac{12}{1400}-x\times \dfrac{15.2}{1400}\\\\=-0.0022x[/tex]

So, the required increase in the month's finance is 0.0022x.

Answer

6 months / the $30 ($5 per month) will be cheaper

Answer:

1) Six months

2) The second plan ($30 sign up fee, $5 per month)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Six months

We can write an equation such as 30 + 5m = x, where m = months and x = total cost after a certain amount of months. If we know that the first plan costs $12 a month, we can find the LCM of 12 and 30 + 5m, which is 60. If we plug in 60 as m in the equation I showed, we'll get this:

30 + 5m = 60

Solve for x = 6.

2) The second plan

Write the first plan as an equation 12m = x, where m is months and x is the total cost after a certain amount of months. If we plug in 12 for m (since there's 12 months in a year), we'll get 12(12) = x, where x is equal to $144 after a year.

Write the second plan as an equation 30 + 5m = x, where m is months and x is the total cost after m months. Plug in 12 again so our equation looks like

30 + 5(12) = x. Solve for x and get $90 after a year.

The distance traveled can be calculated using the formula D = s · t where s is the speed and t is the total time. Which of the situations below represent a total distance of 400 km? Select all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

Required

Which represents 400km

This question requires options. Since none were given, I will answer on a general term.

Situation 1:

s = 20km/h and t = 20h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 20km/h * 20h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

Situation 2:

s = 10km/h and t = 40h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 10km/h * 40h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

Situation 3:

s = 40km/h and t = 10h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 40km/h * 10h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

So, all you literally have to do is multiply the values of s and t. If the product gives 400, then; that situation is D = 400

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is being pumped into an inflated rubber sphere at a constant rate of 0.03 cubic meters per second.

So, dV/dt = 0.03.

We want to show that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

In other words, we want to establish the relationship that dS/dt  = k(1/r), where k is some constant.

First, the volume of a sphere V is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

Next, the surface area of a sphere S is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S=4\pi r^2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We can divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\frac{dS}{dt}=4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We can substitute this into dV/dt. Rewriting:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=r\Big(4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}\Big)[/tex]

So:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}[/tex]

Since dV/dt = 0.03 or 3/100:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{100}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}=\frac{3}{50}\Big(\frac{1}{r}\Big)[/tex]

Where k = 3/50.

And we have shown that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

Which sequence is an example of an arithmetic sequence

Answers

Answer:

Only the third sequence is arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence has a common difference, then it is arithmetic.  To find the common difference, substract a term from the next term.

First sequence:  

10 - 20 = -10     5 - 10 = -5    The differences are not the same,   so the sequence is NOT arithmetic

Second sequence:

-6 - (-3) = -3     -18 - (-6) = -12   The differences are not the same,   so the sequence is NOT arithmetic

Third sequence:

 10 -  5 =  5     15 - 10 = 5   20 - 15 = 5  The differences are the same,   so the sequence is arithmetic

Fourth sequence:

10 - 5 = 5    20 - 10 = 10   The differences are not the same,   so the sequence is NOT arithmetic
