On a snow day, Brooklyn created two snowmen in her backyard. Snowman A was built to a height of 60 inches and Snowman B was built to a height of 44 inches. The next day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise, Snowman A's height decrease by 5 inches per hour and Snowman B's height decreased by 3 inches per hour. Let A(t)A(t) represent the height of Snowman A tt hours after sunrise and let B(t)B(t) represent the height of Snowman B tt hours after sunrise. Write the equation for each function and determine the number of hours after sunrise when both snowmen have an equal height.

it will take 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the height of each snowman decreased is linear. This means that it was decreasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference

n represents the number of terms(hours)

Considering snowman A,

Tn = A(t)

n = t

a = 60 inches

d = - 5 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

A(t) = 60 + (t - 1)-5

A(t) = 60 - 5t + 5

A(t) = 65 - 5t

Considering snowman B,

Tn = B(t)

n = t

a = 44 inches

d = - 3 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

B(t) = 44 + (t - 1)-3

B(t) = 44 - 3t + 3

B(t) = 47 - 3t

For both snowmen to have an equal height, it means that

65 - 5t = 47 - 3t

- 5t + 3t = 47 - 65

- 2t = - 18

t = - 18/- 2

t = 9 hours

the answer is 175.4379

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
