Answer: the total amount that you can earn in 15 years is $737245. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You receive an annual salary of $32,900 and each year, you are assured of a 5.5% raise. Assuming there was no raise, you get 100% of your previous salary each year. With a raise of 5.5%, you will get 100 + 5.5 = 105.5% of your previous salary for each year. This is a geometric progression and we want to determine the sum of 15 terms(15 years).

The formula for the sum of terms in a geometric progression is

Sn = [a(r^n - 1)]/ r - 1

Sn = sum of n terms

a = the first term

n = number of terms

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 32900

n = 15

r = 105.5/100 = 1.055

S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1

S15 = [32900(2.23247649 - 1)] / 0.055

S15 = 32900 × 1.23247649) / 0.055

S15 = 737245.0277

S15 = $737245

A rectangular garden has a walk around it of width x. The garden is 20 ft by 15 ft. Write a function representing the combined w
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: A(x) = 15 ft + 2x

 

EXPLANATION

 

Given,

The dimension of the rectangular garden is 20 ft by 15 ft.

Dimension of a rectangle is written as Length by Width

This implies that,

Length of the garden = 20 ft

Width of the garden = 15 ft

 

The garden has a walk around it of width x.

The combined width of the garden = Width of garden + 2x

[we are adding twice the width of the walk because it is around the garden (this means it will add to the width of the garden on both the left and right sides)]

 

Combined width of the garden, A(x) = Width of garden + 2x

Since width of the garden = 15 ft

A(x) = 15 ft + 2x

Pls help!!! only 20 minutes left pls help 100 point math question
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a ratio, you have to divide a next terms with before terms.

A1 = 35/2

A2 = 7

ratio = A2 ÷ A1

ratio = 7 ÷ 35/2

ratio = 7 × 2/35

ratio = 14/35 = 0,4

Ratio = 0,4

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

X=0 or no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+4=-3x+4

cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

-2x=-3x

move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

-2x+3x=0

collect like terms

x=0
