Donna earns $1,404 per week at her job. However, 19% of her income gets taken out in taxes, and 12% of her income gets taken out

and put into her retirement account. Which is a reasonable estimate of the amount Donna is left with each week after the money is deducted?

Answer:

About 969 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

I kind of did it the long way. I divided $1,404 by 100 and multiplied by 19. Did the same thing with 12. Added the product of those together and subtracted from 1,404.

(1,404÷100)19 + (1,404÷100)12 = 435.24

1,404 - 435.24 = 968.76

Since it was an estimate I rounded it to the nearest whole number and got 969

Hope this helps. There are probably better methods to solve this problem but this was my way.

What is AE ? Enter your answer in the box. units Two segments A D and B C intersect at point E to form two triangles A B E and D

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The length of AE is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two segments AD and BC intersect at point E to form two triangles ABE and DCE. Side AB is parallel to side DC. A E is labeled 2x+10. ED is labeled x+3. AB is 10 units long and DC is 4 units long.

we have to find the length of AE

AB||CD ⇒ ∠EAB=∠EDC and ∠EBA=∠ECD

In ΔABE and ΔDCE

∠EAB=∠EDC (∵Alternate angles)

∠EBA=∠ECD (∵Alternate angles)

By AA similarity, ΔABE ≈ ΔDCE

therefore, $\frac{AE}{ED}=\frac{AB}{CD}$

⇒ $\frac{2x+10}{x+3}=\frac{10}{4}$

⇒ $8x+40=10x+30$

⇒ $x=5$

Hence, AE=2x+10=2(5)+10=20 units

The length of AE is 20 units.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$
