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)

Which choice is the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?0.5, -0.1, 0.02, -0.004, 0.0008, ...

Minchanka [31]

$a_1=0.5\\a_2=-0.1\\a_3=0.02\\a_4=-0.004\\a_5=0.0008\\\\a_n=a_1\cdot q^{n-1}\\\\q=a_2:a_1\to q=-0.1:0.5=-0.2\\\\a_n=0.5\cdot(-0.2)^{n-1}=0.5\cdot(-0,2)^n\cdot(-0.2)^{-1}\\\\=0.5\cdot(-0.2)^n\cdot(-5)=-2.5\cdot(-0.2)^n\\\\\boxed{a_n=-2.5\cdot(-0.2)^n}$

the weight M of an object on Mars varies directly as it’s weight E on Earth. A person who weighs 95 lb on Earth weighs 38 lb on

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A 100 lb person will weight 40 lb on Mars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight on Mars directly varies as its weight on earth.

Let weight on Mars be = $M$

Let weight on Earth be = $E$

Its known that:

$M$ ∝ $E$

Thus

$M=kE$

where $k$ is constant of proportionality.

when $E=95\ lb$ , then $M=38\ lb$

thus, we have

$38=k(95)$

dividing both sides by 95.

$\frac{38}{95}=\frac{k(95)}{95}$

∴ $k=\frac{38}{95}$

Thus when $E= 100$ , $M$ would be calculated as

$M=\frac{38}{95}\times 100$

$M=\frac{3800}{95}$

∴ $M=40\ lb$ (Answer)

∴ A 100 lb person will weight 40 lb on Mars.

N x 50 = 5,000. Explain your solution

prohojiy [21]

In order to figure out what N is you have to isolate it by dividing by 50 on both sides as shown below:
$N*50=5000\\\frac{n*50}{50}=\frac{5000}{50}\\n=100$

Classify the following triangle. Check all that apply. A. Scalene B. Right C. Acute D. Equilateral E. Obtuse F. Isosceles

Sati [7]

Answer:

E and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given has two equal sides, and an obtuse angle that is more than 90° that measures 120°. The other two angles are of equal measure since their opposite sides are of the same length. Thus, this implies that it is an isosceles triangle because it has two equal base angles and two equal sides. It also implies that it is an obtuse triangle since one of it's angles is more than 90°.
