Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each successive year, he
earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms(years).
From the information given,
a = $32,000
r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05
n = 20 years
The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)
T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)
T20 = $80862.4
To determine the his total
earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as
Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)
Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is
S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1
S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05
S20 = $1057920
Answer:
1. First choice, 1/2
2. First choice, 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 odd numbers on a dice, so 3/6 = 1/2
12 numbers, 1- 12, the even numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 1-, and 12. 6 out of 12 = 6/12 = 1/2
Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 8x + 8 = 0
x² + 8x + 8 + 8 = 0 + 8
x² + 8x + 16 = 8
x² + 4x + 4x + 16 = 8
x(x) + x(4) + 4(x) + 4(4) = 8
x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4) = 8
(x + 4)(x + 4) = 8
(x + 4)² = 8
