Helen and Jane both commence new jobs each starting on an annual salary of \( \$ 70,000 \). At the start of each new year, Helen receives an annual salary increase of \( \$ 2400 \). Let \( \$ H_{n} \) represent Helen's annual salary at the start of her \( n \)th year of employment. Show that \( H_{n}=2400 n+67600 \). 1b. [1 mark] At the start of each new year, Jane receives an annual salary increase of \( 3 \% \) of her previous year's annual salary. Jane's annual salary, \( \$ J_{n} \), at the start of her \( n \)th year of employment is given by \( J_{n}= \) \( 70000(1.03)^{n-1} \) Given that \( J_{n} \) follows a geometric sequence, state the value of the common ratio, \( r \). 1c. [3 marks] At the start of year \( N \), Jane's annual salary exceeds Helen's annual salary for the first time. Find the value of \( N \). 1d. [2 marks] For the value of \( N \) found in part (c) (i), state Helen's annual salary and Jane's annual salary, correct to the nearest dollar. 1e. [4 marks] Find Jane's total earnings at the start of her 10 th year of employment. Give your answer correct to the nearest dollar.
