A website has no more than $15,000 to give away for a contest. They have decided to give away $1,000 twice a day every day until

they have at least $3,000 left to award as a grand prize. How many days will the contest run?

If you would like to know how many days will the contest run, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x ... the number of days
every day: 2 * $1,000 = $2,000
$15,000 - $2,000 * x = $3,000
15,000 - 2,000 * x = 3,000
15,000 - 3,000 = 2,000 * x
12,000 = 2,000 * x
x = 12,000 / 2,000
x = 6 days

The correct result would be: The contest will run for 6 days until they have at least $3,000 left to award as a grand prize.

Good morning ☕️

Answer:

<h3>i¹ + i² + i³ +. . .+ i⁹⁹ + i¹⁰⁰ = 0</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sum S = i¹ + i² + i³ +. . .+ i⁹⁹ + i¹⁰⁰

S =  i¹ +  i² +  i³ + . . . + i⁹⁹  +  i¹⁰⁰

S = a₁ + a₂ + a₃ +. . . + a₉₉ + a₁₀₀

then, S is the sum of 100 consecutive terms of a geometric sequence (an)

where the first term a1 = i¹ = i  and the common ratio = i

FORMULA:______________________

S=(term1)*\frac{1-(common.ratio)^{number.of.terms}}{1-(common.ratio)}

_______________________________

then

S=i*\frac{1-i^{100} }{1-i}

or i¹⁰⁰ = (i⁴)²⁵ = 1²⁵ = 1  (we know that i⁴ = 1)

Hence

S = 0

Kiley gathered the data in the table. She found the approximate line of best fit to be y = 1.6x – 4. A 2-column table with 5 row
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following table

x     |    y

0    |   -3

2    |    -1

3    |    -1

5    |    5

6    |    6    

Residual value:

A residual value basically shows the position of a data point with respect to the line of best fit.

The residual value is calculated as,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Where observed values are already given in the question and the predicted values are calculated by using the equation of  line of best fit.

y = 1.6x - 4

When we substitute x = 3 in the above equation then we would get the predicted value.

y = 1.6x - 4 \\\\y = 1.6(3) - 4 \\\\y = 4.8 - 4 \\\\y = 0.8

So the predicted value is 0.8

From the given table, the observed value corresponding to x = 3 is -1

So the residual value is,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Residual value = -1 - 0.8

Residual value = -1.8

Therefore, the residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Note: A residual value closer to 0 is desired which means that the regression line best fits the data.

vodomira [7]
I believe the correct answer among the choice presented above is the second option. The minimum number of points needed to determine the equation of a line containing those points is two. This is because two points is also needed to make or define a line.

A company sells cereal in two different -sized boxes.The smaller box has the dimensions of 12-inch,2-inch and 7 3/4 i.The height
Nastasia [14]
We will take the volume of each box separately to find the difference between them.
 We have then that the volume of the boxes is:
 V = (L) * (W) * (h)
 Where,
 L: long
 W: width
 h: height
 The smaller box:
 V1 = (12) * (2) * (7 3/4)
 V1 = 186 in ^ 3
 the lager box:
 V2 = (12) * (2) * ((7 3/4) * (100/80))
 V2 = 232.5 in ^ 3
 The difference is:
 V2-V1 = 232.5 in ^ 3 - 186 in ^ 3 = 46.5 in ^ 3
 Answer:
 The difference in the volumes of the two boxes is:
 46.5 in ^ 3
