Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 8x - 6
f(1/2) is x = 1/2
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: f(1/2) = 8(1/2) - 6
- Multiply: f(1/2) = 4 - 6
- Subtract: f(1/2) = -2
1. Number that adds up to -12 and multiplied by the same # that gives u -13. Set it up like this because both are negative so, u need 1 negative and 1 positive.
(x-13)(x+1)
2. Same rule applies. GCF
8y(4y+1)
3. (x+3)(x-3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each successive year, he
earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms(years).
From the information given,
a = $32,000
r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05
n = 20 years
The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)
T20 = $80862.4
To determine the his total
earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as
Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)
Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is
S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1
S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05
S20 = $1057920
Sry not sure this one is very confusing
