Answer:

1) Consider that he makes $1189 every two weeks engaged with work

2) An estimate of the opportunity cost of going on the fishing trip is $1450 in two weeks

3). If he decides to buy the truck, he has to work for about 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data

Total revenue from lawn mowing per year = 35 × 4× 5×20 = $1400

Similarly total operating costs = $2110

Total profit per annum = $11890

However total revenue per every 2 weeks = $1189

To buy the truck, sell his and go on the fishing trip it will cost = 5200-1500+250 =$3950 hence he has to work for about 6.64 or approximately 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

2) Opportunity cost will factor in the cost of having someone work for him while away

The cost is = $250 + $120/day

Hence in two weeks it will cost him $1450

3) He has to work for about 7 weeks to be able to afford the truck

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 6 and r = 1/3? Express your answer as an improper fracti
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

The next statements are are;

Statement                                                  {}        Reason

Segment \overline {DC} ≅ Segment \overline {AB}                        {}   CPCTC

\overline {AD} ≅ \overline {BC} and \overline {DC} ≅ \overline {AB}, therefore;

ABCD is a parallelogram                    {}               Parallelogram side theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement                                                  {}        Reason

Segment \overline {DC} ≅ Segment \overline {AB}  by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)

Given that \overline {AD} ≅ \overline {BC} and we have that \overline {DC} ≅ \overline {AB}, we get;

ABCD is a parallelogram                    {}               Parallelogram side theorem

The parallelogram side theorem states that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if it has two pairs or sets of congruent opposite sides.
