Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920

What is 2\3y plus y minus 4 equals 31
steposvetlana [31]

Hi


2/3 y+y-4=31

Simplify both sides of the equation

2/3 y-4=31

Combine like terms

(2/3 y+y)+(-4)=31

5/3 y-4=31

Add 4 to both sides

5/3 y-4+4=31+4

5/3 y=35

Multiply both sides 3/5

(3/5)*(5/3 y)=(3/5)*35

y=21


I hope that's help !

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

3rd answer down

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you take the median of all the #'s which turns out to be 126.5 and that is where your bar should point to in the box, then you should start with 105, and your last bit of the line should end at 150, the start of your box should start at the median of 105 and 117, and the end of your box should stop at the median of 145 and 150.
