9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $129,992

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

Here, the first term is 24000, and the growth factor r is 1+4% = 1.04. The sum is then ...

  S5 = 24000·(1.04^5 -1)/(1.04 -1) ≈ 129992

The total earned over 5 years was $129,992.

___

A spreadsheet can list the annual salaries and add them up. The salary each year is 1.04 times that of the previous year. That is shown in the attachment.

1. When there are two events that need to happen, we must multiply the probability of each event happening.

Shawn losing to Mike: 5/8 chance
Shawn losing to Tim: 2/7 chance

5/8 × 2/7 = 10/56 = 5/28

There's a 5/28 chance of Shawn losing to Mike and Tim.

I don't know #2, sorry :/

Hope this helps!

Which term can be used in the blank of 36x3−22x2−__ so the greatest common factor of the resulting polynomial is 2x? Select two
maria [59]

Answer:

4xy and 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to select which of the options to put into the blank space that will make the greatest common factor of the polynomial 2x. We are to select two options

Now, looking at the blank space, we should understand that , any answer we shall be choosing shall be an answer that contains x alongside the number.

This makes 24 and 44y out of the way.

Now let’s look at 4xy and 12x. Let’s insert them into the blank space;

36x^3-22x^2 - 4xy which gives : 2x(18x^2-11x-2y)

and 36x^3-22x^2-12x = 2x(18x^2-11x-6)

The reason why we will not use 44y and 24 is because 2x is not a factor of either.
