To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The current salary of James is \$ 42000.

The time taken to complete the college degree is 2{\text{ years}}.

The cost of the college degree is \$ 28000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

Calculation:

The total investment of James can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Investment}} &= {\text{Salary of 2 years}} + {\text{2 years tuition fees}} \\&= 2 \times 42000 + 2 \times 28000\\&= 84000 + 56000\\&= \$ 140000\\\end{aligned}

The total investment for 2 years will be \$ 140000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

The time taken by James to recover \$ 140000.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Time}} &= \frac{{140000}}{{56000}}\\&= 2.5{\text{ years}}\\\end{aligned}

To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

It will take 2.5 years for James to recover his investment.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

From the above problem, we get these information

- James' current salary is $42000/year

- His college's tuition fee is $ 28000/year

- It takes 2 years to complete his degree

- Salary after finish degree is $ 56000

<u>Question:</u>

How many years will it take James to recover his investment?

James' investment would be his college's tuition fee for 2 years and the salary that he should get while away from work for 2 years.

Those statement can be write down:

investment = 2 years tuition + 2 years salary

\boxed {investment = (2 \times42000)+ (2\times28000) }\\\boxed {investment = 84000+56000=140000 }

so the total investment is $ 140000

After finished study, James salary would be $56000/year, so the investment will recover in

\boxed {\frac{140000}{56000} = 2.5 years }

hence, the investment will recover in 2.5 years.

Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 12 by 8 inches. Create an equation for this situation, find the zeros, and sketch the func
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
For the answer to the question above,

1. If we let x as the side of the square cut-out, the formula for the capacity (volume) of the food dish is:
V = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x)
V = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
To find the zeros, we equate the equation to 0, so, the values of x that would result to zero would be:
x = 0, 6, 4

2. To get the value of x to obtain the maximum capacity, we differentiate the equation, equate it to zero, and solve for x.
dV/dx = 96 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0
x = 5.10, 1.57
The value of x that would give the maximum capacity is x = 1.57

3. If the volume of the box is 12, then the value of x can be solved using:
12 = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
x = 0.13, 6.22, 3.65
The permissible value of x is 0.13 and 3.65

4. Increasing the cutout of the box increases the volume until its dimension reaches 1.57. After that, the value of the volume decreases it reaches 4.

5. V = (q -2x) (p - 2x) (x)

Write and simplify the integral that gives the arc length of the following curve on the given interval b. If necessary, use tech
LiRa [457]

Answer:

L = 4.103

Step-by-step explanation:

we have length of curve

L = \int\limits^b_a {\sqrt{(f'(x))²+1} } \, dx

where f(x) = d/dx(3*in(x)) = 3/x

substituting for f(x), we have L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{(3/x)²+1} } \, dx

(since the limit is 2≤ x ≤5)

solving,  L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{9/x²+1} } \, dx

Simplifying this integral, we have

L = 4.10321
