It's the 11th day of autumn and the first leaf has fallen! If the number of leaves on the ground is tripling with each passing day, what is the total number of leaves that have fallen to the ground by the end of the 24th day of autumn

1,594,323

Step-by-step explanation:

No of leaves which falls daily on the first day = 1

No of days leaves falls = 14 days.

Solution:

No of leaves of day 1

= 1.

No of leaves on day 2

= 1*3

= 3

No of leaves of day 3

= 3*3

= 9

No of leaves of day 4

= 9*3

= 27

No of leaves on day 5

= 27*3

= 81

No of leaves on day 6.

= 81*3

= 243.

No of leaves of day 7

= 243*3

= 729

No of leaves on day 8

= 729 * 3

= 2187

No of leaves on day 9

= 2187 *3

= 6561

No of leaves on day 10

= 6561 * 3

= 19683

No of leaves on day 11

= 19683 * 3

= 59049

No of leaves on day 12

= 59049 *3

= 177147

No of leaves on day 13

= 531441

No of leaves on day 14

= 531441 * 3

= 1,594,323.

The number of leaves that would be on the ground on the 24th day of autumn would be 1,594,323

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.
