Answer:

64,125 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

7%x 5 years =35%

35% of 47, 500 is 16625

16625 + 47,500=64,125

Answer:

about $66,621

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its an increase in salary, we want 0.07+1 = 1.07 (if he was losing his salary, it instead would be 0.07-1, but that's not the case here)

Then we plug it in as 47,500(1.07)^x

he's expecting what would he get in his fifth year at the firm. So let's set x = 5.

47,500(1.07)^5 = $66,621.20721 or ≈ $66,621 to the nearest dollar.

Note: This is how I'm doing it in <u>High School.</u> So if this is incorrect, I'm sorry.

Power Series Differential equation

KatRina [158]

The next step is to solve the recurrence, but let's back up a bit. You should have found that the ODE in terms of the power series expansion for $y$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg((n-3)(n-2)a_n+(n+3)(n+2)a_{n+3}\bigg)x^{n+1}+2a_2+(6a_0-6a_3)x+(6a_1-12a_4)x^2=0$

which indeed gives the recurrence you found,

$a_{n+3}=-\dfrac{n-3}{n+3}a_n$

but in order to get anywhere with this, you need at least three initial conditions. The constant term tells you that $a_2=0$ , and substituting this into the recurrence, you find that $a_2=a_5=a_8=\cdots=a_{3k-1}=0$ for all $k\ge1$ .

Next, the linear term tells you that $6a_0+6a_3=0$ , or $a_3=a_0$ .

Now, if $a_0$ is the first term in the sequence, then by the recurrence you have

$a_3=a_0$
$a_6=-\dfrac{3-3}{3+3}a_3=0$
$a_9=-\dfrac{6-3}{6+3}a_6=0$

and so on, such that $a_{3k}=0$ for all $k\ge2$ .

Finally, the quadratic term gives $6a_1-12a_4=0$ , or $a_4=\dfrac12a_1$ . Then by the recurrence,

$a_4=\dfrac12a_1$
$a_7=-\dfrac{4-3}{4+3}a_4=\dfrac{(-1)^1}2\dfrac17a_1$
$a_{10}=-\dfrac{7-3}{7+3}a_7=\dfrac{(-1)^2}2\dfrac4{10\times7}a_1$
$a_{13}=-\dfrac{10-3}{10+3}a_{10}=\dfrac{(-1)^3}2\dfrac{7\times4}{13\times10\times7}a_1$

and so on, such that

$a_{3k-2}=\dfrac{a_1}2\displaystyle\prod_{i=1}^{k-2}(-1)^{2i-1}\frac{3i-2}{3i+4}$

for all $k\ge2$ .

Now, the solution was proposed to be

$y=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n$

so the general solution would be

$y=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4+a_5x^5+a_6x^6+\cdots$
$y=a_0(1+x^3)+a_1\left(x+\dfrac12x^4-\dfrac1{14}x^7+\cdots\right)$
$y=a_0(1+x^3)+a_1\displaystyle\left(x+\sum_{n=2}^\infty\left(\prod_{i=1}^{n-2}(-1)^{2i-1}\frac{3i-2}{3i+4}\right)x^{3n-2}\right)$

Solving Square Roots Worksheet (x - k)^2 : Part 1

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

1. x = +/- 2 $\sqrt{2}$ - 7

2. x = $3$ +/- $2i\sqrt{3}$

3. n = $2$ +/- $i\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide both sides by 2: (x + 7)^2 = 8

Square root both sides: x + 7 = +/- 2 $\sqrt{2}$

Subtract 7 from both sides: x = +/- 2 $\sqrt{2}$ - 7

2. Square root both sides: x - 3 = $\sqrt{-12}$

Since there is a negative inside the radical, we need to have an imaginary number: $i=\sqrt{-1}$ . So, $\sqrt{-12} =i\sqrt{12} =2i\sqrt{3}$

Add 3 to both sides: x = $3$ +/- $2i\sqrt{3}$

3. Divide by -5 from both sides: (n - 2)^2 = -2

Square root both sides: n - 2 = $\sqrt{-2}$

Again, we have to use i: $n-2=\sqrt{-2} =i\sqrt{2}$

Add 2 to both sides: n = $2$ +/- $i\sqrt{2}$

Hope this helps!

A set of electric toothbrush prices are normally distributed with a mean of 87 dollars and a standard deviation of

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of electric toothbrush prices are normally distributed with a mean of 87 dollars and a standard deviation of 8 dollars.

$Mean = \mu = 87$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 8$

We are supposed to find proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars i.e.P(104.60<x<108.20)

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

At x = 104.60

$Z=\frac{104.60-87}{8}$

Z= 2.2

At x=108.20

$Z=\frac{108.20-87}{8}$

Z= 2.65

Refer the z table for p value :

P(x<108.20)-P(x<104.60)=P(Z<2.65)-P(Z<2.2)=0.9960-0.9861=0.0099

Hence The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099
