You have a job as a teacher. Your salary for the first year is $37,185.
You will receive a 6% increase every year.
Part A Would an arithmetic or geometric sequence best model this situation?
Select a Value
Part B: What explicit formula models this situation?
Select a Value
Part C How much will your salary be at the start of your 5th year?
Select a Value

a). Geometric sequence

b).

c). $46945.21 will be the salary at the start of 5th year.

Step-by-step explanation:

My salary for the first year is $37185.

If I get an increase of 6% every year then the next year salary will be,

   = $39416.1

Similarly in the second year my salary will be

    = $41781.07

So the sequence becomes $37185, $39416.1 $41781.07.....

And there is a common ratio in each successive term 'r' = 1.06

a). Therefore, it's a geometric sequence.

b). Explicit formula for this sequence will be in the form of

Where t = duration in years

c). Salary at the start of 5th year,

       = $46945.21

can you hlep me do homework?

step-by-step explanation:

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
