Devaughn's age is three times Sydney's age. The sum of their ages is <br> . What is Sydney's age?
g100num [7]

Answer:

syd is 23 and dev is 69


Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dev's age be x and Syd's age be y

Since Dev is 3 times older than Syd, we may write  

x

=

3

y

Since the sum of their ages is 92, we may write  

x

+

y

=

92

Now replacing x with 3y, we get :  

3

y

+

y

=

92

Hence  

y

=

92

4

=

23

and so Syd is 23 year old.

Back substituting we get Dev is 69 years old.

If your starting salary is $40,000 and you  receive a 4.2% raise every year, how much  TOTAL money will you make in 15 years?
Oliga [24]
The first year, the amount is 40,000

the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that  we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)

in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.

for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that

40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²

therefore,

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\&#10;S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=40000\\&#10;r=1.042\\&#10;n=15&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;S_{15}=40000\left( \cfrac{1-1.042^{15}}{1-1.042} \right)\implies S_{15}\approx 40000\left( \cfrac{-0.8536}{-0.042} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;S_{15}\approx 812951.42
