Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 27  7  16

area = 1/2 bh

height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base

base = b

height = b + 7

area = 30

area = 1/2 b(h)

30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)

30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)

30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b           solve for b

1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30        

1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0        

b²+ 7b - 60 = 0            factor

   (b +12)(b - 5) = 0    when b = -12 or 5     base length can't be negative

b = base = 5

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×2(9)     = 9

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×5(12)     = 60

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×9(16)     = 56

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×12(19)     = 114

First term is -7, so a_1 = -7

To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4

So d = 4 is the common difference. 

Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Productivity: My candy bar company made 100 million bars last year, sold for $1 each. I also paid [L] people last year, with an average salary of $100K last year. I have overhead cost of $10M. What was my TOTAL productivity (no units, rounded to 2 decimal places)?

Solution:

Total productivity is the average of labour and capital productivity weighted and adjusted to price fluctuations. It is the ratio of total output to the total input. The total productivity is given by the formula:

Total productivity = total output / total input

Total output = Revenue = number of bars sold * price per bar

Total output = 100 million * $1 = $100 million

Total input = Total salary + overhead cost

Total salary = number of people * average salary = 100 *$100000 = $10 million

overhead cost = $10 million

Total input = $10 million + $10 million = $20 million

Total productivity = total output / total input = $100 million / $20 million

Total productivity = 5
