The athlete’s salary, in thousands, for the first two years is $400 and $400(1.05). the approximate salary, in thousands, earned each year for the first five years is $400, $420, $441, $463, and $486. explain how you can evaluate the fifth partial sum. what does the fifth partial sum represent?

 The fifth partial sum = 2210

The fifth partial sum represent the sum of the first 5 terms in the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he partial sum of a sequence gives the sum of the first n terms in the sequence.

Thus, the fifth partial sum represent the sum of the first 5 terms in the sequence.

The given geometric sequence : $400, $420, $441, $463, and $486.

Now, the fifth partial sum of the above sequence will be :

3/6   and 9/18
