T = 40000 + 40000(1.03) + 40000(1.03)^2 + ... + 40000(1.03)^15


Multiply the above equation by 1.03 giving


1.03(T) = 40000(1.03) + 40000(1.03)^2 + 40000(1.03)^3 + ... + 40000(1.03)^15 + 40000(1.03)^16


Now subtract the first equation from the second to give


0.03T = 40000(1.03)^16 - 40000


0.03T = 40000(1.03^16 - 1)


0.03T = 24188.26


T = 24188.26 / 0.03 = $806275.25

Answer: Hello there!

If you have an initial amount of A, and you increase it by 3%, the math that you need to do is:

B = A + 0.03*A = 1.03*A

now let's apply it to the work:

the first year you have $40,000

the second year you have 1.003*$40,000  

the third year you have 1.003*1.003*$40,000

and so on, this augment can be modeled as:

P(t) = $40,000*1.003^(t - 1)

where t is the number of years, t= 1 is the first year in the work, t = 2 is the second year in work, and so on.

the total amount earned in the first 16 years of work is:

P(1) + P(2) + ...... + P(15) + P(16)  

this is equal to

=$40,000 + $40,000*1.003 + ....

= $40,000*( 1 + 1.003 + 1.003^2 + 1.003^3 + ..... + 1.003^14 + 1.003^15)  

you can solve the parenthesis using a calculator, and get:

= $40,000*16.365= $654603.579

now we want to round it to the nearest dollar, the first number after the decimal point is a 5, so we need to round up:

the total amount that you earned in the first 16 years is:

P = $654604

Answer:

I am truly sorry if any of these answers are incorrect, I am here to help and I will do my best!

Step-by-step explanation:

A clock that uses hands to tell time is less precise than a clock that uses numbers.

A signal stored on a vinyl record is less easily copied than a signal stored in a computer.

A signal that is continuously varying is less reliable than a signal with limited possible values.

A signal transmitted by the human voice loses more energy as it travels than a signal transmitted by a fiberoptic cable.

Hope this helps! :)

If so, Brainliest would be nice... But it is ok if not :)

Answer:

  2444

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is the integral of the marginal cost.

  \displaystyle C=\int_{144}^{625}{\dfrac{94}{\sqrt{x}}}\,dx=\left. 2\cdot 94\sqrt{x}\right|_{144}^{625}=188(25 -12)=\boxed{2444}

The total cost of producing units 144 through 625 is 2444.

If all you need is a number, a graphing calculator can give you that.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Given:

m\angle L=m\angle Z=70^\circ

m\angle N=m\angle Y=90^\circ

To find:

The value of m\angle 1.

Solution:

In triangle XYZ,

m\angle Y=m\angle N=90^\circ        (Given)

m\angle Z=m\angle L=70^\circ         (Given)

m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^\circ        [Angle sum property]

m\angle 1+90^\circ+70^\circ=180^\circ

m\angle 1+160^\circ=180^\circ

m\angle 1=180^\circ-160^\circ

m\angle 1=20^\circ

Therefore, the m\angle 1 is 20°.
