Mr. Nicholson accepts a job that pays an annual salary of $60,000. In his employment contract, he is given the option of choosin

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

1. Arithmetic: Add 3,500

The annual raise of 3,500 means add 3,500 to the previous year's salary

60,000 + 3,500 = 63,500

63,500 + 3,500 = 67,000

67,000 + 3,500 = 70,500

70,500 + 3,500 = 74,000

74,000 + 3,500 = 77,500

Geometric: Multiply by 1.05

The annual raise by 5% of his current salary means multiply by 1.05.

60,000 x 1.05 = 63,000

63,000 x 1.05 = 66,150

66,150 x 1.05 = 69,457.50

69,457.50 x 1.05 = 72,930.38 rounded

72,930.375 x 1.05 = 76,576.89

The first sequence is arithmetic because we add the same number (3,500) to the preceding term. The second sequence is geometric because we multiply the preceding term by the same number always (1.05.)

2a. Arithmetic - New salary is $3,500 greater each year than last year's salary

S = 60,000 + 3500(n-1)

Geometric - New salary is 5% more each year than last year's salary

60,000 + (1.05)^(n-1)

2b. Arithmetic Earnings over 3 years

60,000 + 63,500 + 67,000 = 190,500

Geometric Earnings over 3 years

60,000 + 63,000 + 66,150 = 189,150

There is a 1,000 dollar difference. In this case, the arithmetic increase of 3,500 dollars would be better for Mr. Nicholson. 1,000 dollars may or may not be considered a big difference. In my opinion, I'd say there is a slight difference between the two

3.Arithmetic

a(9) = 3,500 + a(9-1)

a(9) = 3,500 + 89,000

a(9) = 92,500

Geometric

a(9) = 1.05 x a(9-1)

a(9) = 1.05 x 84,425.90

a(9) = 88,647.20

4. In this case, both the 3 year and 9 year time frames favor the arithmetic increase of $3,500. At 3 years, he would have 190,500 compared to the geometric salary of 189,150. However, this is a small difference. If he is going to be at the company for 9 years, then definitely he should choose the first opportunity. 92,500 is significantly more money than 88,647.20. So, longer time frames only make the first opportunity, which is better to begin with, shine even more.

A gardener wants to create a rectangular vegetable garden in a backyard. She wants it to have a total area of 120 square feet, a

erastova [34]

Comment
This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.

Formula
Area = L * W

Givens
W = W
L = W + 12

Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0

This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.

a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120

w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done

L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995

check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error

Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet

Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.

Help me plz, i’d love u forever

1. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

let x be a number of inches, which when added to 18 inches will give 7 feet

18 inches + x inches = 7 feet

18 inches + x inches = 84 inches [1 feet = 12 inches]

x inches = 84 inches - 18 inches

x inches = 66 inches

2. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards, when added to 2000 yards will be equal to 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 2 miles

2000 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x yards = 1520 yards

3. We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

Number of feet = Given number of inches / 12

Number of feet = 108 / 12

Number of feet = 9 ft.

4. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 8800 feet. will be equal to 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 8 miles

8800 feet + x feet = 42240 feet [1 mile = 5280 feet]

x feet = 42240 - 8800

x feet = 33440 ft.

5. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches, when added to 37 inches, will be equal to 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 5 feet

37 inches + x inches = 60 inches [12 inches = 1 feet]

x inches = 23 inches

6. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, (number of yards)*3 = (number of feet)

Number of yards = number of feet / 3

Number of yards = 73 / 3 = 24.33 yards

7. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

let x be the number of feet added to 15 feet to make 9 yards

15 feet + x feet = 9 yards

15 feet + x feet = 27 feet [1 yard = 3 feet]

x feet = 12 ft

8. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards remaining to reach 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 4 miles

3000 yards + x yards = 7040

x yards = 4040 yards

9. We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

So, number of yards * 3 = number of feet

replacing the values:

number of yards*3 = 114

number of yards = 114/3

number of yards = 38 yards

10. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet that must be added to 9000 feet to make 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 3 miles

x feet + 9000 feet = 15840 feet

x ft = 6840 ft

11. We know that 12 inches = 1 feet

let x be the number of inches that must be added to 46 inches to get a length of 9 feet

46 inches + x inches = 9 feet

46 inches + x inches = 108 inches

x inches = 108 - 46 inches

x inches = 62 inches

12. We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

let x be the number of yards that must be added to 3500 yards to make 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 2 miles

3500 yards + x yards = 3520 yards

x = 20 yards

13. We know that 1 ft = 12 inches

So, number of feet * 12 = number of inches

number of feet = number of inches / 12

number of feet in 252 inches

Number of feet = 252/12

Number of feet = 21 ft

14. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 6500 feet, will be equal to 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 2 miles

x ft + 6500 ft = 10560 ft

x ft = 4060 ft

15. We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

let x be the number of feet, when added to 4500 feet, will be equal to 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 1 mile

x ft + 4500 ft = 5280 ft

x ft = 780 ft

A puppy weighs 2.8 pounds at birth and gained about 0.5 pounds per week. A kitten weighs 1.4 pounds at birth and gains about 1.2

seraphim [82]

The weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

<h3>What is Inequality?</h3>

Statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

A puppy weighs 2.8 pounds at birth and gained about 0.5 pounds per week.

A kitten weighs 1.4 pounds at birth and gains about 1.2 pounds per week.

puppy: 2.8 + 0.5x

Kitten: 1.4 + 1.2x

As, kitten is no less than puppy.

Kitten ≥ puppy

1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x

hence, the weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{5} x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5y-3x=25\\\\5y-3x+3x=25+3x\\\\5y+0=3x+25\\\\5y=3x+25\\\\\frac{1}{5} (5y)=\frac{1}{5} (3x+25)\\\\y=\frac{1}{5}(3x)+\frac{1}{5}(25) \\\\y=\frac{3}{5}x+5$
