Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the tree's largest circumference, located near the base of the trunk, measures approximately

$102.6 feet$

We are to express this in inches using scientific notation.

First convert this to inches using

$1' = 12"\\102.6' = 102.6(12)" \\= 1231.2"$

Writing in scientific notation a number means using a number between 1 and 10 in the given number and multiply by suitable powers of 10.

For example here, we have answer as 1231.2 inches

We can write as

$1231.2 = 1.2312 (10^3)$

Thus scientific notation is

$1.2312 (10^3)$

asambeis [7]

learners of Agriculture: 34/58

semplify it

divide by 2

34 > 17

58 > 29

they are prime numbers, so can't be semplify anymore

17/29 will do Agriculture

in percentage we have a proportion:

17 : 29 = x : 100

x = (17 * 100) / 29 = 1700 / 29 ≅ 48,62

Aaron was offered a job that paid a salary of \$57,000$57,000 in its first year. The salary was set to increase by 1% per year e

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The total amount received is: $1906650

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = \$57000$ --- initial

$b = 1\%$ --- rate

$n = 29$ --- time

Required

Determine the total amount at the end of 29 years

The given question is an illustration of geometric progression, and we are to solve for the sum of the first n terms

Where $n = 29$

$r = 1 + b$

$r = 1 + 1\%$

Express percentage as decimal

$r = 1 + 0.01$

$r = 1.01$

The required is the calculated using:

$S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}$

So, we have:

$S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.01^{29} - 1)}{1.01 - 1}$

$S_n = \frac{57000 * (1.3345- 1)}{0.01}$

$S_n = \frac{57000 * 0.3345}{0.01}$

$S_n = \frac{19066.5}{0.01}$

$S_n = 1906650$

<em>The total amount received is: $1906650</em>
