Answer:

8 years

Salary: $95000

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation to model the salary and its raise per year. Add the base salary to the raise per year salary times (x). Where the parameter (x) represents the number of years spent in the company.

Company (1):

75000 + 2500x

Company (2):

55000 + 5000(x)

One is asked at which year will the salaries be the same. Equate the two expressions and solve for the variable (x):

75000 + 2500x = 55000 + 5000(x)

Inverse operations:

75000 + 2500x = 55000 + 5000x

20000 + 2500x = 5000x

20000 = 2500x

8 = x

Substitute (x) into any one of the experssions and simplify to solve the epxression,

55000 + 5000(x)

x = 8

= 55000 + 5000(8)

= 55000 + 40000

= 95000

If f(x)=x^4+6, g(x)=x-2 and h(x)= sqrt (x), then f(g(h(x)))=
patriot [66]

Answer:

x^2 + 4x * (3 - sqrt(x)) - 2(5 + sqrt(x))

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly let us split this up, we need to first work out what g(h(x)) is:

h(x) = Sqrt(x) so g(h(x)) = g(sqrt(x)) = sqrt(x) - 2

Now to work out f(g(h(x))) = f(sqrt(x) - 2) = (sqrt(x) - 2)^4 + 6

= (sqrt(x) - 2) * (sqrt(x) - 2) * (sqrt(x) - 2) * (sqrt(x) - 2) - 6

= (x - 2 * sqrt(x) + 4) * (x - 2 * sqrt(x) + 4) - 6

= x^2 - 2x * sqrt(x) + 4x - 2x * sqrt(x) + 4x - 8 * sqrt(x) + 4x - 8 * sqrt(x) + 16 - 6

= x^2 - 4x * sqrt(x)  + 12x - 16 * sqrt(x) + 10

= x^2 + 4x * (3 - sqrt(x)) - 2(5 + sqrt(x))

please help me :( I need help
slava [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines l and m are the parallel lines and 't' is a transversal line,

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angle postulate]

∠5 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles theorem]

∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Transitive property]

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles theorem]

Find the missing side length.
MaRussiya [10]

x = 6

Explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem which is <u>a^2 + b^2 = c^2</u>. 8 goes in either the a or b position and 10 is the longest side so it will go in the c position.

The claim is that the white blood cell counts of adult females are normally​ distributed, with a standard deviation equal to 1.6
loris [4]
The population standard deviation, σ = 1.68, the sample standard deviation, s = 1.95, the sample mean =7.23,  and the sample size, n = 39.The test statistics is given by
T=(n - 1) (s / σ)²
= (39 - 1) (1.95 / 1.68)²
= 38 (1.35)= 51.196
