Chapter 14.1, Problem 39E
Work these exercises.
Checkout Lines According to the article “How to Pick the Fastest Line at the Supermarket,” the amount of time (in seconds) you will be waiting in a checkout line has been approximated by Dan Meyer to be 41 seconds for each person in line ahead of you plus 3 seconds for each item ahead of you. (Data from: The New York Times, September 7,2016)
a. Find a formula
b. Find your waiting time in an express checkout line that has 5 people ahead of you, and each person has 10 items.
c. Find your waiting time in a regular checkout line that has only 2 people ahead of you, but each person has 40 items.
d. Is the express line in part (b) faster than the regular checkout line in part (c)?

Your employer automatically puts 5 percent of your
salary into a 401(k) retirement account each year. The
account earns 10% interest. Suppose you just got the
job, your starting salary is $60000, and you expect to
receive a 2.5% raise each year.
For simplicity, assume that interest earned and your
raises are given as nominal rates and compound
continuously.
Find the value of your retirement account after 20
years
