Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

What is the range of the function f(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 8?
yawa3891 [41]
F(x) is a quadratic equation with the x-side squared and a is positive which means that the graph of the function is a parabola facing up. The range of f(x) is given by {y|y ≥ k}, where k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
f(x)=3 x^{2} +6x-8, written in vertex form is
y=3 (x+1)^{2} -11, where (h, k) = (-1, -11)
Therefore, range ={y|y ≥ -11}

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr
malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

b = 6 + 2h

Substituting we have:

88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0

We divide between 2 on both sides:

h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

(h + 11) (h-8) = 0

We have two roots:

h = -11\\h = 8

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is:b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:

P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b

Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.
