Response:

This $6(2)^{n-1}$ is indicative of an exponential function, as his savings grow by a consistent factor of 2.

Detailed breakdown:

It is stated that

Luis initially saves $6 and doubles this amount every week.

This means that the savings for the following week would be 6×2 = 12.

Consequently, the savings for the third week would be 12×2 = 24.

The resulting sequence is 6, 12, 24, 48,.....

This can be expressed as 6×2⁰, 6×2¹, 6×2², 6×2³,.....

Thus, the exponential sequence is represented as $6(2)^{n-1}$ , where 'n' signifies a natural number.

Furthermore, the numbers 6, 12, 24, 48,..... reflect an increase by a factor of $\frac{12}{6}=\frac{24}{12}=....=2$ .

Thus, we conclude that

This $6(2)^{n-1}$ represents an exponential function, because his savings increase by a consistent factor of 2.

The computers of six faculty members in a certain department are to be replaced. Two of the faculty members have selected laptop

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

a. $\frac{1}{15}$

b. $\frac{2}{5}$

c. $\frac{14}{15}$

d. $\frac{8}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four desktop computers and two laptops.

On a specific day, we will set up 2 of these computers.

To find:

a. What is the probability that both selected computers are laptops?

b. What is the probability that both computers are desktops?

c. What is the probability that at least one computer is a desktop?

d. What is the probability that at least one of each type of computer is included?

Solution:

Using the probability formula for event E:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

a. The number of successful outcomes for both computers being laptops = $_2C_2$ = 1

Total possible outcomes = 15

The needed probability is $\frac{1}{15}$ .

b. The successful outcomes for both being desktop computers = $_4C_2=6$

Total possible outcomes = 15

The required probability is $\frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5}$ .

c. For at least one desktop:

Two scenarios exist:

1. 1 desktop and 1 laptop:

Successful outcomes = $_2C_1\times _4C_1 = 8$

2. Both are desktops:

Successful outcomes = $_4C_2=6$

Total successful outcomes = 8 + 6 = 14

The needed probability is $\frac{14}{15}$ .

d. 1 desktop and 1 laptop:

Successful outcomes = $_2C_1\times _4C_1 = 8$

Total outcomes = 15

The required probability is $\frac{8}{15}$ .

For each store what is the ratio of the number of cans to the price? Super saver 12 pack 4 for $10, shop smart 24 pack 2 for $9,

tester [12383]

At Super Saver, 4 packs are priced at $10, which gives us 12 × 4 = 48 cans for ratio calculation. The ratio translates to 48 cans for $10, or 4.8 cans per dollar. For Shop Smart, similarly, 24 × 2 results in 48 cans priced at $9, creating a ratio of 48 cans for $9, or 5 1/3 cans per dollar. At Price Busters, 12 × 3 results in 36 cans for $9, translating to a cost of 3 cans per dollar. Overall, Shop Smart offers the best value per can, followed by Super Saver, and lastly Price Busters.
