<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The total amount you would have earned over the first 16 years is </em><em>$90047.20</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The exponential function that would given the growth is,

P'=P(1+r)^t

Where,

P' = Future value,

P = Current value = $50000

r = rate of change = 4% = 0.04

t = time = 15 year (not 16 because the the increment occurs at year end and we want to get the value at the beginning of 16th year)

Putting the values,

P'=50000(1+0.04)^{15}

=50000(1.04)^{15}

=90047.20

Therefore, the total amount you would have earned over the first 16 years is $90047.20

n = 16 

50000(1 + 1.04 + 1.04^2 + 1.04^3 + .... + 1.04^15) = 50000 * (1.04^16 - 1) / (1.04 - 1) = 1,091,226.56 

Final year's salary = 90047.17 

86,583.82 * 1.04 = 90047.17 

There are only 15 table when there should be 16.

a_N = 50000(1.04)^15 = 90047.17 

And if we add 90047.17 to the previous total of 1001179.38 we get 

$1,091,226.55

The hypotenuse of a 90-45-45 triangle is 20√2. What is the short leg and the long leg&gt;
stepan [7]

Answer:

Both legs would be 20

Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.

I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.
