Answer:

a) $1520

b) S_7 = $209195

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of salaries forms an arithmetic sequence with the first term as 25325 and its 7th term as 34445:

a) The raise the person can get each year is the common difference of the progression, d.

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given generally as:

a_n = a + (n - 1)d

where a = first term = 25325

d = common difference

Therefore, the 7th term (34445) will be:

34445 = 25325 + (7 - 1)d

34445 = 25325 + 6d

=> 6d = 34445 - 25325 = 9120

d = 9120 / 6 = $1520

Therefore, the raise the person gets each year (common difference) is $1520.

b) The total amount the person will earn after 7 years is the sum of the salaries of all 7 yeas.

The sum of an arithmetic progression up to the nth term is given as:

S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n - 1)d)\\ \\

Therefore, the sum of the person's salary for the 7 years is:

S_7 = \frac{7}{2}(2 * 25325 + (7 - 1)1520)\\ \\S_7 = 3.5 (50650 + 6(1520))\\\\S_7 = 3.5 (50650 + 9120)\\\\S_7 = 3.5 * 59770\\

S_7 = $209195

That is the total amount of salary after 7 years

Find the area please don’t lie to me
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

<h2>108 yd²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a trapezoid:

A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h

<em>b₁, b₂</em><em> - bases</em>

<em>h</em><em> - height</em>

From the picture we have

b_1=19yd,\ b_2=5yd,\ h=9yd

Substitute:

A=\dfrac{19+5}{2}\cdot9=\dfrac{24}{2}\cdot9=12\cdot9=108\ yd^2

In the city of Carmen, there is a drawbridge that is opened twice per hour over the summer. The graph below shows the number of
n200080 [17]

Answer:

1) Between 0 and 1 minute the rate of change is 25 ft./min

2) Between 1 and 2 minute the rate of change is 0 ft./min

3) Between 2 and 4 minute the rate of change is -12.5 ft./min

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Between 0, and 1 feet, we have;

The rate of change = (Final height - Initial height)/(Final time - Initial time)

The rate of change = (40 - 15)/(1 - 0) = 25 ft/min

Between 0 and 1 minute the rate of change = 25 ft./min

2) Between 1, and 2 feet, we have;

The rate of change = (40 - 40)/(2 - 1) = 0 ft/min

Between 1 and 2 minute the rate of change = 0 ft./min

3) Between 2, and 4 feet, we have;

The rate of change = (15 - 40)/(4 - 2) = -12.5 ft/min

Between 2 and 4 minute the rate of change = -12.5 ft./min

I<br> -72<br> –54<br> -36<br> y<br> 25<br> 13<br> 1<br> What is the y-intercept of the line?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

  -23

Step-by-step explanation:

As I increases by 18, y decreases by 12. From the last value in the table, I needs to increase by 2·18 for it to become zero. Hence the y-intercept will be 2·12 less than the last value in the table:

  1 - 2·12 = -23 . . . the y-intercept

A DVD has a diameter of 26 centimeters. What is the area of the DVD? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A =530.66 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A DVD is a circle so we can use the formula for area of a circle

A = pi r^2

We can find the radius from

r = d/2  where d is the diameter

r = 26/2

r = 13

A = pi *13^2

A = pi *169

Substituting in for pi

A = (3.14) * 169

A =530.66
