You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr. assuming that you obtain a full 5% increase each year, what will your salary be in three years?

$34728.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The salary of a police officer for a year P= $30,000

The rate of increase r= 5% = 0.05 per year

We know that the compound amount after t years at rate of intersect r is given by :-

Then, the compound amount after 3 years is given by :-

Hence, the salary of policeman after 3 years will be $34728.75.

2,600 divided by 80 = 32.5

step-by-step explanation:

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
