Chapter 0: Problem 141

The mad Dr. Frankenstein has gathered enough bits and pieces (so to speak) for \(2^{-1}+2^{-2}\) of his creature-to-be. Write a fraction that represents the amount of his creature that must still be obtained.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The fraction that represents the amount that must still be obtained is \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the gathered parts

First, calculate the gathered parts Dr. Frankenstein had already by solving the equation \(2^{-1} + 2^{-2}\). We know that \(2^{-1}\) equals to 0.5 and \(2^{-2}\) equals to 0.25. So \(2^{-1} + 2^{-2} = 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75\)
02

Calculate the remaining parts

Since a whole creature is represented by 1, we get the missing parts by subtracting what Dr. Frankenstein has already gathered from 1. This can be written as \(1 - 0.75 = 0.25\).
03

Convert to Fraction

The final step is to express the remaining part as a fraction. The decimal 0.25 can be written as \(\frac{1}{4}\) as a fraction.

Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. A telephone texting plan has a monthly fee of \(\$ 20\) with a charge of \(\$ 0.05\) per text. Write an algebraic expression that models the plan's monthly cost for \(x\) text messages.

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I can check inequalities by substituting 0 for the variable: When 0 belongs to the solution set, I should obtain a true statement, and when 0 does not belong to the solution set. I should obtain a false statement.

In 2014 , the average price of a new car was \(\$ 37,600\). For the period shown, new-car prices increased by approximately \(\$ 1250\) per year. If this trend continues, how many years after 2014 will the price of a new car average \(\$ 46,350 ?\) In which year will this occur?In \(2014,\) the average age of cars on U.S.roads was 11.3 years. For the period shown, this average age increased by approximately 0.2 year per year. If this trend continues, how many years after 2014 will the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads be 12.3 years? In which year will this occur?
