He is promised a 2300 raise each subsequent year. Find his total earnings for a 10-year period.arrow_forward
- Pollution A chemical plant discharges 2400 tons of pollutants every year into an adjacent lake. Through natural runoff, 70% of the pollutants contained in lake at the beginning of the yare are expelled by the end of the year. (a) Explain why following sequence models the An. of the pollutant in the lake at the end of the nth year that the plant is operating. An=0.30An1+2400 (b) Find the first five terms of the sequence An. (c) Find a formula for An. (d) How much of the pollutant remains in the lake after 6 years? How much will remain after the plant has been operating a long time? (e) Verify to part (d) by graphing An with a graphing calculator for n=1ton=20.arrow_forwardUse the recursive formula to write a geometric sequence whose common ratio is an integer. Show the first four terms, and then find the 10thterm.arrow_forwardDepreciation A paper manufacturer buys a machine for $120,000. It depreciates at a rate of 30 per year. (In other words, at the end of each year the depreciated value is 70 of what it was at the beginning of the year.) (a) Find the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence that gives the value of the machine t full years after it is purchased. (b) Find the depreciated value of the machine after 5 full years.arrow_forward
- Retirement Accounts Many college professors keep retirement savings with TIAA, the largest annuity program in the world. Interest on these accounts is compounded and credited daily. Professor Brown has 275,000 on deposit with TIAA at the start of 2015 and receives 3.65 interest per year on his account. a Find a recursive sequence that models the amount An in his account at the end of the nth day of 2015. b Find the first eight terms of the sequence An, rounded to the nearest cent. c Find a formula for An.arrow_forwardFind the requested term of each geometric sequence. Find the sixth term of the geometric sequence whose first three terms are 14, 1, and 4.arrow_forwardMonthly Savings Program Alice opens a savings account that pay 3% interest per year, compounded monthly. She begins by depositing $100 at the start of the first month and add $100 at the end of each month, when the interest is credited. Find a recursive formula for the amount An in her account at the end of the nth month. (Include the interest credited for that month and her monthly deposit.) Find the first five terms of the sequence An . Use the pattern you observed in (b) to find a formula for An . [Hint: To find the pattern most easily, it’s best not to simplify the terms too much.] How much has she saved after 5 years?arrow_forward
