Answer:
She can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.
Step-by-step explanation:
In every jump, she goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump.
In the 1st jump, she covered a distance, d_1= \frac 1 2 foot.
The distance covered in the 2nd jump
[tex]d_2= \frac 12 \times d_1 = = \frac 12 \times \frac 12= \frac 1 4[/tex] (given)
So, the distanve covered in the 3rd jump
[tex]=\frac 12 \times d_2= \left(\frac 1 2\right )^2\times \frac 1 2= \left(\frac 1 2\right)^{3-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]
Similarly, the distance covered in the [tex]r^{th}[/tex] jump
[tex]=\left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]
Assuming she requires [tex]n[/tex] jumps to travel 1 foot of distance.
So, the sum of all the distances covered in n jumps = 1 foot
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \frac 1 4 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n-1}\times \frac 1 2=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \left(\frac 12 \right)^2 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r}+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n}=1[/tex]
This a geometric progression, G.P., of [tex]n[/tex] terms having common ration, r= 1/2 and the first term [tex]a_1= 1/2[/tex].
As sum of all the n terms of G.P [tex]=\frac {a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex],
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1/2((1/2)^n-1)}{1/2-1}=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow - \left(\left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1\right)=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1=-1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n=-1+1=0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1}{2^n}=0[/tex]
This is only possible, mathematically, when [tex]n\rightarrow \infty[/tex], But in real life situation reaching infinity is not possible.
Hence, she can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.
Write the equation for this situation, then give the x-intercept, y-intercept, and slope. A person is wanting to burn 500 calories a day through excercise. They know that they burn 7.3 calories a minute jogging and 11.3 calories a minute running. ALSO - explain what the x and y-intercepts mean in this situation. Your answer:
Answer:
[tex]x[/tex]-intercept is [tex](68.5,0)[/tex]
[tex]y[/tex]-intercept is [tex](0,44.2)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]x[/tex] denotes time denoted (in minutes) by a person in jogging.
Let [tex]y[/tex] denotes time denoted (in minutes) by a person in running.
A person is wanting to burn 500 calories a day through exercise. They know that they burn 7.3 calories a minute jogging and 11.3 calories a minute running.
So, equation becomes [tex]7.3x+11.3y=500[/tex]
For [tex]x[/tex]-intercept, put [tex]y=0[/tex]
[tex]7.3x+11.3(0)=500\\7.3x=500\\x=68.5[/tex]
So, [tex]x[/tex]-intercept is [tex](68.5,0)[/tex]
For [tex]y[/tex]-intercept, put [tex]x=0[/tex]
[tex]7.3(0)+11.3y=500\\11.3y=500\\y=44.2[/tex]
So, [tex]y[/tex]-intercept is [tex](0,44.2)[/tex]
Differentiate equation [tex]7.3x+11.3y=500[/tex] with respect to [tex]x[/tex]
[tex]7.3+11.3y'=0\\y'=\frac{-7.3}{11.3}\\ y'=-0.65[/tex]
[tex]x-[/tex]intercept means that a person spends 68.5 minutes in jogging and no time in running.
[tex]y-[/tex]intercept means that a person spends 44.2 minutes in running and no time in jogging.

Describe the steps that you took to determine your answer.Eight rolls of paper towels cost $4.80. At the same unit rate, how much will six rolls of paper towels cost? Describe the steps that you took to determine your answer.
Answer:
$3.6Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 8 rolls cost $4.80
let us compute how much 1 roll will cost (that is the unit cost of a roll)
so 8 rolls cost $4.80
1 roll will cost x
x= 4.8/8
x=$0.6
so the paper tower cost $0.6 per roll (this is the rate)
therefore 6 rolls will cost
=6*0.6
=$3.6

what dose the least common multiple of 4 and 6 mean in this situation (LCM)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
You make a T-chart and list out all the multiples and you find which multiple is the smallest number they both have! For example, 4 and 6 have 12 as their least common multiple because 3 x 4 is 12 and 2 x 6 is 12, that’s the smallest number they both have in common.

If 15 is subtracted from three times a certain number,
the result is 27. Find the number
Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-15=27 (add 15 to both sides)
3x=42 (divide both sides by three)
x=14
The required number is -4.
What are linear equation?A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variables in a linear equation is raised to power greater than 1 or used as denominator of a fraction.
Now it is given that, 15 is subtracted from three times a certain number,
the result is 27.
Now let x be the number.
Three times the number = 3x
Therefore, 15 is subtracted from three times a certain number = 15 - 3x
Therefore, the equation for 15 is subtracted from three times a certain number, the result is 27 is,
15 - 3x = 27
Subtracting 15 both the side we get,
15 - 3x - 15 = 27 - 15
⇒ -3x = 12
or, x = -12/3
⇒ x = -4
which is the required number.
Thus, the required number is -4.

What is the length of c?
Answer:
c = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
This formula is the Pythagorean Theorem, which is used to find the length of one of the three sides to a right triangle. a and b are the two short sides, while c is the hypotenuse (long diagonal side).
Given a and b we are able to solve for c
c^2 = 9^2 + 12^2
c^2 = 81 + 144
c^2 = 225
Square root both sides to cancel the square
c = 15
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Use this equation
a^2+b^2=c^2
so,
9 squared is 81 and 12 squared is 144.
81+144=225
The square root of 225 is 15.
√600 and ∛56 and show work
Answer:
√600 is around 24.5 while ∛56 is around 3.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Method: TRIAL AND ERROR
For √600, we can follow trial and error method:
30^2 is 900, so too big
20^2 is 400, so too small
25^2 is 625, too big
24^2 is 576, too small
Considering that 600 is between 24^2 and 25^2, we can try in between:
24.5^2 is 600.25, which is very close, therefore 24.5 is the answer
For ∛56, we can also follow trial and error method:
5^3 is 125
4^3 is 64
3^3 is 27
Considering that 56 is somewhere between 3^3 and 4^3, and that it's much more closer to 4^3, we can try 3.6^3, which is: 46.656;
3.7^3 is 50.6
3.8^3 is 54.8
3.9^3 is 59
3.85^3 is 57
3.84^3 is 56.6 (still larger)
3.83^3 is 56.1
So the answer is 3.83
But the method above works when using calculator, best for a calculator exam. If calculator is not allowed, you can find the difference between the two possible answers (e.g: 27 and 64 (3^3 and 4^3) following the above, to find out ∛56.) Of course, 56 is much nearer to 4^3, so we can assume that the answer is around 3.8.
Hope this helped. :)

John buys two ties that each cost $19.99 he also buys a pair of dress pants that were originally $64 but a discounted by 30% more over he has a coupon for $10 off a purchase of $50 or more purchase finally sales tax is 6% in his state how much did John pay for the ties and pants
Answer:
Cost of ties and pants = $52.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of ties = $19.99
cost of dress pants = $64, discountted by 30%
discount on dress pants = 30% of 64 = 0.3 × 64 = $19.2
∴ Discounted price of dress pants = 64 - 19.2 = $44.8
Total cost of ties and dress pants = 19.99 + 44.8 = $64.79
Now, let us apply the coupon
coupon = $10 off every purchase of $50 or more
Purchase amount = $64.79 ; therefore coupon applies.
Applying coupon
Purchase amount = 64.79 - 10 = $54.79
sale tax = 6% or purchase price
sale tax = 6% × 54.79
sale tax = 0.06 × 54.79 = $3.29
∴ Final cost of ties and dress pants = 54.79 - 3.29 = $52.5
