Suppose that a company's annual sales were $1,200,000 in 1999. the annual growth rate of sales from 1999 to 2000 was 16 percent, from 2000 to 2001 it was −5 percent, and from 2001 to 2002 it was 22 percent.
the geometric mean growth rate of sales over this three-year period is calculated as 10.37 percent. use the geometric mean growth rate and determine the forecasted sales for 2004.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P (1 + r)^t

Given that P = $1,200,000, r = 0.1037, and t = 5:

A = $1,200,000 (1 + 0.1037)^5

A = $1,965,334.41

Round as needed.

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. ∠j is supplementary to ∠k - true:

(opposite angles of a trapezoid are supplementary which means that they add up to 180 degrees)

b. kl is parallel to jm - true:

(opposite sides are parallel to each other in a trapezoid)

c. jk is perpendicular to kl - false:

(clearly, jk does not make a right angle with kl)

d. jk is parallel to lm - false:

(jk and lm are two lines opposite in direction to each other so they cannot be parallel)

e. ∠j is congruent to ∠m - true:

(the angles on each side of the base are congruent)

f. ∠j is congruent to ∠k - false:

(the angles on the same side but opposite side of the base are not congruent)

-14

step-by-step explanation:

2x2 – 2(x+4)

=2x2-2（5+4）

=4-2×9

=4-18

=-14
