He'll be making 1,800 more money per year

Answer:

f(n)= 36,000(0.05) + 36,000 (0.05)² + 36,000 (0.05)³ +...+ 36,000 (0.05)ⁿ =

f(n)= 36,000(0.05) ( 1 +0.05 + 0.05² + ...+ 0.05ⁿ⁻¹)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem tells us that Marco makes 36,000 dollars a year, if he receives a 5% raise, we will need to multiply the current amount by 0.05 to know how much more is he getting:

$(36000)(0.05)= 1800$

However the problem doesn't end up there because <u>on the second year he will get a 5% of the amount he will be making after the first 5% raise</u>. So after the first year <u>he will be getting (36,000 + 1800 = 37800) and he will get a 5% raise</u>, so he will get a raise of

37800 (0.05)

We can write this as a function in terms of the numbers of years that have passed,

for year 1 we have that the raise will be:

f(1) = 36,000(0.05)

for the second year we will have

f(2) = 36,000 (0.05) + 36,000 (0.05)²

so for the nth year, the amount of raise will be

f(n)= 36,000(0.05) + 36,000 (0.05)² + 36,000 (0.05)³ +...+ 36,000 (0.05)ⁿ

= 36,000(0.05) ( 1 +0.05 + 0.05² + ...+ 0.05ⁿ⁻¹)

If you are offered one slice from a round pizza (in other words, a sector of a circle) and the slice must have a perimeter of 24

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $r$ be the radius and $\theta$ be the angle of a circle.

According with the graph, the area of the sector is given by

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta$

The arc lenght of a circle with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ is $r \theta$

The perimeter of the pizza slice is composed of two straight pieces, each of length r inches, and an arc of the circle which you know has length s = rθ inches. Thus the perimeter has length

$2r+r\theta=24 \:in$

We need to express the area as a function of one variable, to do this we use the above equation and we solve for $\theta$

$2r+r\theta=24\\r\theta=24-2r\\\theta=\frac{24-2r}{r}$

Next, we substitute this equation into the area equation

$A=\frac{1}{2}r^2(\frac{24-2r}{r})\\A=\frac{1}{2}r(24-2r)\\A=12r-r^2$

The domain of the area is

$0$

To find the diameter of pizza that will reward you with the largest slice you need to find the derivative of the area and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.

$\frac{d}{dr} A=\frac{d}{dr}(12r-r^2)\\A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr}(12r)-\frac{d}{dr}(r^2)\\A'(r)=12-2r$

$12-2r=0\\-2r=-12\\\frac{-2r}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}\\r=6$

To check if $r=6$ is a maximum we use the Second Derivative test

if $f'(c)=0$ and $f''(c)$ , then f(x) has a local maximum at x = c.

The second derivative is

$\frac{d}{dr} A'(r)=\frac{d}{dr} (12-2r)\\A''(r)=-2$

Because $A''(r)=-2$ the largest slice is when r = 6 in.

The diameter of the pizza is given by

$D=2r=2\cdot 6=12 \:in$

A 12 in diameter will reward you with the largest slice of pizza.

Are all squares trapezium?

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, there are always two pairs of parallel sides, so every square is also a trapezoid. TRAPEZOID i said

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Assuming your numbers are rounded to the nearest km, the minimum area will be ...
(5.5 km)·(10.5 km) = 57.75 km² . . . minimum

And the maximum area will be ...
(6.5 km)·(11.5 km) = 74.75 km² . . . maximum

_____
When a number is rounded to 6 km as the nearest km, its value may actually be anywhere in the range 6 km ± 0.5 km. If you really want to get technical about it, the ranges of possible dimensions are [5.5, 6.5) km and [10.5, 11.5) km, and the range of possible areas is [57.75, 74.75) km².
