Answer:

$142.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bonus be x

This implies that

$\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{1}{4}x = 840$

Multiplying through by the L. C. M(that is 12)

$12 \times \frac{1}{3}x + 12 \times \frac{1}{4}x = 12 \times 840$

$\implies4x + 3x=10080$

$\implies7x=10080$

Dividing through by 7

$\implies \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{10080}{7}$

$\implies x=142.86$

Hence her monthly bonus was $142.86

What is the approximate length of RP? Round to the nearest tenth.

sergiy2304 [10]

Use Pythagorean Theorem:
c = sr (a^2 + b^2) = sr (3^2 + 5.3^2)
= sr (9 + 28.09) = sr (37.09)
= 6.09 = 6.1

Is the sequence geometric? if so, identify the common ratio 1/5,2/15,4/45,8/135,16/405,...

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

So have the sequence: $\frac{1}{5} , \frac{2}{15} , \frac{4}{45} , \frac{8}{135} , \frac{16}{145} ,...$
To check if the sequence is geometric, we are going to find its common ratio; to do it we are going to use the formula: $r= \frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1}}$
where
$r$ is the common ratio
$a_{n}$ is the current term in the sequence
$a_{n-1}$ is the previous term in the sequence
In other words we are going to divide the current term by the previous term a few times, and we will to check if that ratio is the same:

For $a_{n}= \frac{2}{15}$ and $a_{n-1}= \frac{1}{5}$ :
$r= \frac{ \frac{2}{15} }{ \frac{1}{5} }$
$r= \frac{2}{3}$

For $a_{n}= \frac{4}{45}$ and $a_{n-1}= \frac{2}{15}$ :
$r= \frac{ \frac{4}{45} }{ \frac{2}{15} }$
$r= \frac{2}{3}$

For $a_{n}= \frac{8}{135}$ and $a_{n-1}= \frac{4}{45}$ :
$r= \frac{ \frac{8}{135} }{ \frac{4}{45} }$
$r= \frac{2}{3}$
As you can see, we have a common ratio!

We can conclude that our sequence is a geometric sequence and its common ratio is $\frac{2}{3}$
