If the 3 is an exponent, then the person above me is right.
<span>First year is 30,000.
</span><span>Earn 5% raise every year.
</span>Growth factor is 1.05 this sounds a lot like a geometric ratio.
An = A1 × r^(n-1)Sn = A1 × (1 - r^n) / (1-r)<span>n = 40
A1 = 30,000
A40 = $30,000 * 1.05^39 = $201,142.53
S40 = A1 * (1 - 1.05^40) / (1-1.05) which becomes:
S40 = 30,000 * -6.039988712 / -.05 which becomes:
</span>S40 = -181,199.6614 / -.05 which becomes:
S40 = $3,623,993.227
<span>The individual yearly calculations are shown below: </span>
To the nearest foot, it would be 23 feet. I found this using the Pythagorean Theorem of a (squared) + b (squared) = c (squared). If you have 24 as the hypotenuse, you have to square this and subtract 64 (8*8) from it. That will equal 512. So you have to find the square root of that which is 22.62, which will round to 23 feet.
9.2195444572928873100022742817628. or square root of 85
