Mark is taking pledges for bike-a-thon fundraiser. john pledged $2.00, plus $1.75 for each mile mark bikes. kiara pledged $5.25, plus $0.25 for each mile mark bikes. write an expression for the numbers of dollars pledged and the number of dollars kiara pledged . use m for the number of miles that mark bikes.

The equation for the amount of dollars pledged in total is f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25, and the amount for just Kiara is f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount they pledge up front is a constant and therefore need to be added to the end of the equation. The amount per mile should be a variable amount. This gets multiplied by the M variable. So we start with the Kiara amount.

0.25 per mile = 0.25M

5.25 pledged = 5.25

Now put them together to get f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Do the same with Mark.

1.75 per mile = 1.75M

2.00 pledged = 2.00

Now put them together to get f(M) = 1.75M + 2.00

To get the final total, we add both equations together.

f(M) =  0.25M + 5.25 + 1.75M + 2.00

f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
