Answer:

2062 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, you have an exponential function going on here. If you start with 900 employees and add 5 percent to the amount of employees (multiply by 1.005) seventeen times, you will get the equation E=900*1.05^{17}. If we round down (because there can not be a fraction of an employee), there will be 2062 employees after 17 years.

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric f
likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2 .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.

Naddika [18.5K]

1. Balance after 1 year with simple interest= 600 + (2.5 x 12) = 600 + 30 = $630

2. Balance after 1 year with compounded interest = P ( 1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

= 600 ( 1 + \frac{0.05}{12})^{12}= 600 (1.0511) = $630.66 = approx. $630

SCORPION-xisa [38]

3.65 e8

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific notation e mean ‘10 raised to a particular power’. Therefore e8 is equivalent to 10 ^ 8.

We count the number of tens to the decimal point. In this case;

365000000

3.65000000

The decimal is <u>8</u><u> place values </u>from the right (since this is a whole number)
