This is a growth exponential equation. 
It can be solved 2 ways, but one of them is long and cumbersome and not worth the effort. You could take 2% of the base number and keep doing it 8 times. 

The other way is to realize that 100$ + 2% of 100 dollars can be written as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02 and that can be written as
100( 1 + 0.02 ) = 100(1.02) Now if you want this to be raised 8 times, it will look like this
y = 100(1.02)^(n - 1) for any number of weeks
y(8) = 100(1.02)^7 = 114.87
So at week 1 she has 100 dollars and at week 8 she has 114.87 dollars.

Comment
Realize that if her boss does not want to give her compounded interest that she could still make
Ln = L_{8} = 100 + (n - 1)*0.02*100
L_{8} = 100 + 7*0.02*100 = 100 + 14. = 114
By compounding she makes a whole 0.87$ more.

Let's see what to do buddy...

_________________________________

To do this, we have to multiply the face and denominator of the fraction by the denominator conjunction, which is :

(5 -\sqrt{2})

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Reminder :

(a + b)(a - b) =  {a}^{2} -  {b}^{2}  \\

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

So we have :

\frac{1}{ 5-\sqrt{2} } \times  \frac{ 5+\sqrt{2}  }{ 5 +\sqrt{2}  } =  \frac{1 \times ( 5 +\sqrt{2}) }{(5- \sqrt{2} )( 5 +\sqrt{2})  } =  \\

The other is in the photo.

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

A square field has an area of 100 square meters. What is the length of the square? Show how you got the work please.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The length of the square is 10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to know that a square has four equal sides, and that finding the area of a square means multiplying one side by another side. This means that if you know the area of the square, all you have to do is find the square root of the area to find a side length. So, by using a calculator, you can find that the square root of 100 is 10, which is the length of one side of the square.
