Answer:

aₙ = 40*(1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

As per graph we have:

a₁ = 40, a₂ = 20, a₃ = 10, a₄ = 5, a₅ = 2.5

So the first term is 40 and common ratio is

20/40= 10/20 = 5/10 = 2.5/5 = 1/2

Formula for nth term is:

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

aₙ = 40*(1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to subtract 5 from both sides

$\sqrt{x-6} +5=12\\\\\sqrt{x-6}+5-5=12-5\\\\\sqrt{x-6}=7$

Now, square both sides

$(\sqrt{x-6})^{2}=7^{2}$

x - 6 = 49

Now, add 6 to both sides

x - 6 +6 = 49 + 6

x = 55

Edison has a sales job and receives $45,448 as his annual pay, plus commission. His company pays him a commission of 15% on his

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Edison will be paid $15,112 for 3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Edison receives an annual fixed pay = $45,448.

Monthly pay = 45,448/12 = $3787.33

3-month salary = $3787.33 *3 = $11.362

Commission = 15%

Total sale = $25,000 for the first 3 months.

Commission amount = 25,000*0.15 = $3750

Therefore, total pay that Edison received during first 3 months= salary + commission

= $11,362 + $3750

= $15,112

Thank you.
