Answer: 10.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The current salary is $42k per year

the college degree cost  $28k per year, and with the degree he can win $56k per year, and here we also can consider that he "loses" the $42k tat he would have earned if he keeped working.

Then, the amount of money per year is:

m1(y) = $42k*y

m2(y) = -2*$42k - 2*$28k + $56k*y

where y is the number of years after he gets his degree,

Now, we must find the value of y where those equations are equal:

$42k*y = -2*$42k - 2*$28k + $56k*y = -2*($28k + $42k) + $56k*y

($42k - $56k)*y = -2*$60k = -$120k

y = 120k/14k = 8.6 years

but remember that we coun y after he gets his degree, which takes 2 years, so the actual number of years that he needs to recover his inversion is (8.6 +2) years = 10.6 years

LuckyWell [14K]
A rectangle’s area is width x height. So plug in what you know and solve. 212.5 = w x 17. To solve 212.5/17= 12.5. So the width must be 12.5.

Complete the statements about the series
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Ok, first in our series we can see two numbers in the Sigma, one bellow 0, and other above, 4.

This means that the value of k will go from 0 to 4, then all the numbers in the sum are:

(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4

So we have 5 terms in our series.

b) to see the sign in each term, we must solve the powers, remember that:

(-1)^n is -1 if n is odd, and is equal to 1 if n is even, so we have:

(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + (-1/2)^4

= 1 -1/2 + 1/4 - 1/8 + 1/16.

So the sign in each term of the series alternates.
