The sequences goes by 2.

The difference between the first two number is 4.

The difference between the second and third number is 6.

The difference between the third and fourth number is 8.

The difference between the fourth and fifth number is 10.

So therefore the sequence goes by 2.

Elizabeth works for Picasso paint supplies. Her annual salary is $72,580. What is Elizabeth’s annual social security deduction?

Nikolay [14]

Social Security's Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) tax rate for wages paid in 2018 is set by the state at 6.2 % for employees and employers, each. An individual with wages equal to or larger than $128,400 would contribute $7,960.80 to the OASDI program. Since Elizabeth receives a salary of $72,580 from Picasso paint supplies, a lot lower than <span>$128,400, there will be no deduction. </span>

The slope formula can be used to prove that a triangle has:

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice "a right angle"The formula for finding the slope of a line on a coordinate plane is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x2, y2) and (x1, y1) represent two distinct points on the line. This is also known as "change in y over change in x" or "rise over run."I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

The perimeter of a building is 78 feet. The width of the building is seven more than three times the length of the building. Wha

Alchen [17]

P=2l+2w

W=7+3l

So substitute into the original equation

P=2l + 2(7+3l)

78=2l +14 + 6l

-14 -14

—————-

64=8l

8=length

W=7+3l

= 7+3(8)

=7+24

=31

Check your work

Perimeter=8+8+31+31

=78

Hope this helps

Evaluate the sum of the following finite geometric series.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{156}{125}\approx1.2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Method 1:</h3>

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\\\\for\ n=1\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^0=1\\\\for\ n=2\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{2-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\for\ n=3\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{3-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{25}\\\\for\ n=4\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{4-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{125}$

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}=1+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{25}+\dfrac{1}{125}=\dfrac{125}{125}+\dfrac{25}{125}+\dfrac{5}{125}+\dfrac{1}{125}=\dfrac{156}{125}$

<h3>Method 2:</h3>

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\to a_n=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\\\\\text{The formula of a sum of terms of a geometric series:}\\\\S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\r-\text{common ratio}\to r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\\\\a_{n+1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n+1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^n\\\\r=\dfrac{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^n}{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\r=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-(n-1)}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-n+1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{5}$

$a_1=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^0=1$

$\text{Substitute}\ a_1=1,\ n=4,\ r=\dfrac{1}{5}:\\\\S_4=1\cdot\dfrac{1-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^4}{1-\frac{1}{5}}=\dfrac{1-\frac{1}{625}}{\frac{4}{5}}=\dfrac{624}{625}\cdot\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{156}{125}$
