Suppose you begin a job with an annual salary of $32,900. each year you are assured of a 5.5% raise. what its the total amount that you can earn in 15 years? a) $34,815 b) $51,751 c) $737,245 d) $1,682,920

The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

You begin a job with an annual salary of $32,900

Each year you are assured of a 5.5%. If you get the same amount each year, that is a 100% payment. It is neither reducing nor increasing. But with an increase of 5.5% each year, it means you are getting (100+5.5)% each year. This equals 105.5%. So for each year, you get 105.5% of the previous year.

This is a geometric progression. To determine the total amount that you can earn in 15 years, we will find the sum of 15 terms, S15 of the series. The formula for sum of the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Sn = [a(r^n - 1)] / r - 1

Where

Sn = sum of the nth terms of the series

a = the first term(salary of the first year

r = common ratio

n = number of years.

From the question,

a = 32900

n = 15

r = 105.5/100 = 1.055

S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1

S15 = [32900(2.23247649224 - 1)] / 0.055

S15 = [32900 × 1.23247649224] / 0.055

S15 = $737245

answer: b.48 for

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
