GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE: SALARY SCHEME

Problem
An architecture firm is hiring engineers. The HR was tasked to
create a salary scheme that would be offered to the top notchers
of the Engineer Licensure Exams. The management gave a
starting salary of ₱42,000 and its range is good for 2 years, with
an increment of 105% every 6 months.

An architecture firm is hiring engineers. The HR was tasked to
create a salary scheme that would be offered to the top notchers
of the Engineer Licensure Exams. The management gave a
starting salary of ₱30,000 and its range is good for 2 years, with
an increment of 110% every 4 months.

Conclusion
A7 = 53,146.83
Both offers have its own advantage. The First offer will give you
more salary upfront, while the Second offer will give you more
money after the course of 2 years.
The benefit that the company will get from the first offer is that
even though the salary started high, it will be constant with only a
little increase in salary.
As for the second offer, the company will benefit from it because
even though
the salary increase happens often, it will take about a year before
the Second offer can match the First offer, and in the span of that
year that company would have grown already and will have more
resources for its employees.
Both offers will benefit the company the employee because salary
increase will be an inspiration for the employees, resulting into
the employees working harder and smarter.

Real LIFE SCENARIO:

ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE

SCENARIO 1:
A man is teased because of his excessive weight. So, he was determined to
change his lifestyle and strive to be fit then decided to consult a doctor on what
steps he needs to take on.

He went to the doctor's clinic, where he was measured and weighed. The man
found out he initially weighed 70 lbs. The doctor said he should lose 10 lbs in
4 weeks in order to achieve a fit physique.

In his first week he ran approximately 1 km every day. At the end of the first
week, he went back to the clinic to see his progress. He was weighed and found
that he is now 67.5 lbs. The man was overjoyed with the results so he planned
to run an extra 4 km the next week.

The very next week he increased his run until 4 km. He then again went back to
the clinic to see his progress. He was weighed and found that he is now 65 lbs.
The man was delighted with the results so he plan to run until 7 km the next
week. Then the next week, he ran until 7km, then ran up until 10km the
succeeding week.

The man was ecstatic with the results because he lost 10 lbs in the span of 4
weeks!
EQUATION:
His weight decreases by 2.5 lbs every week which creates an arithmetic
sequence of: 70, 67.5, 65, 62.5

While the distance he runs also increases by 3 km every week. This record of
distances creates an arithmetic sequence of: 1, 4, 7, 10

FORMULA:

SOLUTION FOR WEIGHT:

GIVEN: Solution:

An= 4 70 - (4-1) (2.5)

A1= 70 70- (3) (2.5)

d= 2.5 70- 7.5

A4 = 62.5
SOLUTION FOR DISTANCE:
GIVEN: SOLUTION:

An= 4 1 + (4-1) (3)

A1= 70 1 + (3) (3)

1+9
d= 2.5
A4 = 10
