Tom was paid according to a salary grid with annual increases from year one to year ten. The sequence of salaries from years one to ten formed an arithmetic sequence.
In his tenth year, he reached his maximum salary. He earned $58 600 in the fifth
year and $73 400 in the ninth year.
If he worked for twelve years, determine the total amount that Tom earned.

What is the expression in factored form? -20x^2 - 12x a. 4x(5x+3) b. -4x(5x-3) c. -4(5x+3) d. -4x(5x+3)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, 3) and is perpendicular to the line x = -1. a) y = 1 b) y = 3 c) y = 0 eliminate d) y = -3

Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil. compressed soil 2.85 2.66 3 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86 3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16 intermediate soil 3.17 3.37 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02 3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26 use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 95% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method. interval: to
