E(x) = A(x) - S(x) = 2400x + 40x^2 - (250x + 500) = 2400x + 40x^2 - 250x - 500 = 40x^2 + 2150x - 500
Ashton's expenses for 3 years E(3) = 40(3)^2 + 2150(3) - 500 = 40(9) + 6450 - 500 = 360 + 5950 = $6,310
One very simple way is to put it in a Ti-84 calculator which shows that cos(105) is -0.2409590492 and sin(15) as 0.6502978402 which you can find online.
Answer:
(a) The recurrence relation for the salary is

(b) The salary 25 years after 2017 will be $217044.85.
(c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
We can define the next year salary
as

wit S0=$50000
If we extend this to 2 years from 2017 (n+2), we have

Extending to 3 years (n+3)

Extending to 4 years (n+4)

We can now express a general equation for S_n (salary at n years from 2017)

The salary at 25 years from 2017 (n=25) will be

53-x+18
Gail’s age would be x (or any variable of our choice).
There’s no question here!
