Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant rate of change means that for every x, y increases the same amount.

In the situation "The amount a person pays for gas compared with the number of gallons purchased ," the independent quantity, or x-value, is the number of gallons, and the dependent quantity, or y-value, is the amount paid.  Since gas has a set price per gallon, for every gallon purchased, the total amount paid goes up the same amount.  This means it has a constant rate of change.

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed
erik [133]

Initial salary =  $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

a_n = ar^{n-1}

1) a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4

= 50000(1.21550625)

<h3>=$60775.3125.</h3>

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

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

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}

S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>

A van travels 150 miles on 6 gallons of gas. How many gallons will it need to travel 325 miles?
shtirl [24]
<h3>Answer:  C) 13 gallons</h3>

============================================================

Work Shown:

(150 miles)/(6 gallons) = (325 miles)/(x gallons)

150/6 = 325/x

150*x = 6*325 .... see note below

150x = 1950

x = 1950/150 .... divide both sides by 150

x = 13 gallons is the final answer

-----------

Note: in this step, I cross multiplied. The general template for cross multiplication is that we go from A/B = C/D to A*D = B*C. As the name implies, the "cross" refers to the "X" shape that forms when you multiply the terms.

Find the arc length of the semicircle. Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π and enter your answer as a d
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the length of an arc is s = rФ.

Thus, the arc length of a semicircle is S = rФ/2.

Here the radius is 5 (half the diameter), and so in this case the arc length is

S = (5 units)π/2, or S = (5/2)(3.14) units, or approximately S = 7.85 units

Which sentence matches the mathematical equation? p-0.40p=0.60p
IRISSAK [1]
P-0.40p = 0.60p

C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.

Assume that p = 10

10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6

Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10). 

Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%
