The amount paid to the man in the first year given the total he received in four years is $3,700.

<h3>Equation</h3>

  • Amount paid in the first year = x
  • Amount paid in the second year = (x + 500)
  • Amount paid in the third year = x + 500 + 500

= (x + 1000)

  • Amount paid in the fourth year = x + 500 + 500 + 500

= (x + 1500)

  • Total payment = $17800

Total payment = first year + second year + third year + fourth year

x + (x + 500) + (x + 1000) + (x + 1500) = 17,800

  • open parenthesis

x + x + 500 + x + 1000 + x + 1500 = 17800

  • collect like terms

4x + 3000 = 17,800

4x = 17,800 - 3000

4x = 14,800

  • divide both sides by 4

x = 14,800/4

x = $3,700

Therefore, $3,700 was paid to the man in the first year.

Given real numbers a,b &gt; 1.
irina [24]

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a function f(x) is of exponential order c, if there exists a constant M such that and a real r such that

|f(x)|\leq Me^{cx}\;(x\geq r)

Now, take a = 2.5 and b = 2

The functions

f(x)=(2.5)^x\;g(x)=2^x

are both exponential of order 1, since  

\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{f(x)}{e^x}=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{g(x)}{e^x}=0

but a>b
