Step-by-step explanation:
Alexa earns $33,000 in her first year of teaching and earns a 4% increase in each successive year. This means that for each year, her income is 104% of the previous year. So the rate of increase is 104/100 = 1.04. This rate is in geometric progression. The formula for the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is expressed as
Sn = a(r^n - 1)/r-1
Where
Sn is the nth term
a is the first term
n is the number of terms.
r is the rate or common ratio
From the information given,
a = 33000
r = 1.04
The formula for Alexis total earning over n years will be
Sn = 33000(1.04^n - 1)/(1.04 - 1)
Her earnings for the next 15 years would be
S15 = 33000(1.04^15 - 1)/(1.04 - 1)
S15 = 33000(0.8009) / 0.04
S15 = $668167.50
Which question are you asking about?
Answer:
{-2/3, 2/3, 3}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be factored by grouping.
f(x) = (9x^3 -27x^2) +(-4x +12)
f(x) = 9x^2(x -3) -4(x -3)
f(x) = (9x^2 -4)(x -3)
We recognize the first factor as the difference of squares, so know it can be further factored to give ...
f(x) = (3x -2)(3x +2)(x -3)
The zeros are the values of x that make these factors be zero:
3x -2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2/3
3x +2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2/3
x -3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
The zeros of the polynomial are x = -2/3, 2/3, 3.
