Answer:

The value of T₂₀ - T₁₅ is <u>-20</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> :

  • >> If for an A.P, d = -4

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>Find</u> :

  • >> T₂₀ - T₁₅

<u>Using Formula</u> :

General term of an A.P.

\star{\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{ T_n = a  + (n - 1)d}}}}}}

  • >> Tₙ = nᵗʰ term
  • >> a = first term
  • >> n = no. of terms
  • >> d = common difference

<u>Solution</u> :

Firstly finding the A.P of T₂₀ by substituting the values in the formula :

{\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{ T_n = a  + (n - 1)d}}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a  + (20 - 1) d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a  + (19)d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a  + 19  \times d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a  + 19d}}}

{\star \: {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{ T_{20} = a  + 19d}}}}}}

Hence, the value of T₂₀ is a + 19d.

\rule{190}1

Secondly, finding the A.P of T₁₅ by substituting the values in the formula :

{\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{ T_n = a  + (n - 1)d}}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a  + (15 - 1) d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a  + (14) d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a  + 14 \times d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a  + 14d}}}

{\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf \pink{ T_{15}= a  + 14d}}}}}

Hence, the value of T₁₅ is a + 14d

\rule{190}1

Now, finding the difference between T₂₀ - T₁₅ :

{\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{T_{20} -  T_{15}}}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{(a + 19d) -  (a + 14d)}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{a + 19d -  a  -  14d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{a - a + 19d -  14d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{0+ 19d -  14d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{19d -  14d}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{5 \times  - 4}}}

{\dashrightarrow{\sf{ - 20}}}

{\star \: \underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{T_{20} -  T_{15} =  - 20}}}}}

Hence, the value of T₂₀ - T₁₅ is -20.

A company provides a monthly pension to its employees. A person retiring at 62 retires and receives a full monthly pension. If t
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

  • <em><u>The reduction is 8.6%</u></em>

Explanation:

Call F the full monthly pension of a person retiring at 62.

If a person continues to work the pension grows at a rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly, so use the compounded growing formula:

  • Pension=F(1+r/12)^{12t}

Where r = 6 / 100 = 0.06, and t = number of years after retirement.

<u>For retirement at 65.5</u>:

  • t = 65.5 - 62 = 3.5

  • Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 3.5}=1.233F

<u>For retirement at 67</u>:

  • t = 67 - 62 = 5

  • Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 5}=1.349F

<u>Percent reduction of people who retire at 65.5 compared to what they would receive at 67</u>:

  • (1.349F-1.233F)\times 100/(1.349F)=8.6\%
