The function c(x) = 3x − 4 determines how many cupcakes need to be purchased for a birthday party, where x is the number of kids at the party. the party planner uses d(c(x)) to find the amount of money to bring for the cupcake purchase. the function d(x) = 2x + 5. solve for how much money to bring when there are 7 kids at the party.

$39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The function determines how many cupcakes need to be purchased for a birthday party, where x is the number of kids at the party. The party planner uses d(c(x)) to find the amount of money to bring for the cupcake purchase. The function

Now,

To find the amount of money to bring when there are 7 kids at the party, put x in d(c(x)), we get

Hence, the amount of money to bring when there are 7 kids at the party = $39

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
