22. An employee joined a company in 2017 with a starting salary of $50,000. Every year this employee receives a raise of $1000 p

lus 5% of the salary of the previous year. a) Set up a recurrence relation for the salary of this em- ployee n years after 2017. b) What will the salary of this employee be in 2025? c) Find an explicit formula for the salary of this em- ployee n years after 2017.

Answer:

  a) s[n] = 1.05s[n-1] +1000; s[0] = 50,000

  b) $83,421.88

  c) s[n] = 70000·1.05^n -20000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let s[n] represents the employee's salary in dollars n years after 2017. The salary in 2017 is given as $50,000, so ...

  s[0] = 50000 . . . . the recursion relation initial condition

The next year, the salary is multiplied by 1.05 and 1000 is added:

  s[1] = 1.05·s[0] +1000

This pattern repeats, so the recursion relation is ...

  s[n] = 1.05·s[n-1] +1000

__

c) It is convenient to find a formula for the salary before trying to compute the salary 8 years on. So, we work part (c) before part (b).

The base salary gets multiplied by 1.05 each year, so can be described by the exponential function ...

  base salary after n years = 50,000·1.05^n

The add-on to the raise becomes a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1.05. The sum can be described by the formula for the sum of such a sequence:

  sum = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . (see note below)

  sum of add-ons = 1000(1.05^n -1)/(1.05 -1) = 20000(1.05^n -1)

So, the total salary after n years is ...

  s[n] = 50000·1.05^n + 20000(1.05^n -1)

The exponential terms can be combined, so we have the explicit formula ...

  s[n] = 70000·1.05^n -20000

__

b) The year 2025 is 8 years after 2017, so we want to find s[8].

  s[8] = 70000·1.05^8 -20000 = 70000·1.4774554 -20000

     = 103,421.88 -20000 = 83,421.88

In 2025, the employee's salary will be $83,421.88.

_____

<em>Note on the sum of the add-ons</em>

A geometric sequence starts with term a1 and gets multiplied by a ratio r to make the next term: a2=r·a1; a3=r²·a1, ....

The sum of such a geometric sequence has the formula

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

Here, the sequence starts in year 1 with a1=1000 and has a common ratio r=1.05. The denominator of the sum is r-1 = 0.05 = 1/20, so the sum can be written as

  Sn = 20000·(1.05^n -1).

The volume of a right cylinder is V = πr2h. If we have an oblique cylinder, like in the figure, what is the volume of a cross-se
olchik [2.2K]
Since you did not attach any picture we cannot say for sure what is the correct answer, but we can discuss the options in order to find the most probable correct answer.

First of all, according to the Cavalieri's principle, an oblique cylinder has the same volume as a right cylinder with the same base surface area and same height.
A cross-section of an oblique cylinder will be a small right cylinder with the same base surface area and a height as small as possible.

I guess the oblique cylinder has height h and it is divided into many (probably 10) cross-sections.

Option A: <span>πr2h
This is exactly the volume of the right cylinder, therefore, unless you are given a cross-section of height h (which would be too easy), this won't be the correct answer.

Option B: </span><span>4πr2h
This is 4 times the right cylinder. Again, here the height of the cross-section should</span> be 4h, but it doesn't sound like a possible data (too easy again).

Option C: <span>1 10 πr2h
Here comes a n issue with the notation: I think the right number you meant to write is (1/10)</span>·πr2h and not 110·<span>πr2h.
If I am right, this means that your oblique cylinder of height h is divided into 10 cross-sections, and therefore the volume of each of these cross-sections will be a tenth of the volume of the oblique cylinder, which means </span>1/10·<span>πr2h.

Option D: </span><span>1 2 πr2h
Here, we have the same notation issue as before. I think you meant (1/2)</span>·<span>πr2h.
Here, your oblique cylinder height h should be divided into only 2 cross-sections. Now, we said the cross-section's height should be the smallest as possible, so an oblique cylinder divided only into two pieces doesn't sound good.

Therefore, the most probable correct answer will be C) </span>(1/10)·<span>πr2h</span>
