It is nonsense. Penny claims she is going to to make it LARGER than life size. Therefore the fraction would have to be improper. The fraction stated would be making something SMALLER than life size.

It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.

Help! What is the answer to: <br> 4x^2 + 9x - 1 = 0
nataly862011 [7]
I hope this helps you




a=4


b=9


c= -1



disctirminant =b^2-4ac


disctirminant =9^2-4.4. (-1)


disctirminant =97


x1=-9+square root of 97/2.4= -9+square root of 97/8


x2= -9-square root of 97/2.4= -9-square root of 97/8

Need help with math. I will give brainliest!!!!!!
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

~~

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first 2.4 will have to be changed to 24 which means we multiplied it by ten making it 24/10 since it is tan it is opposite side/ adjacent side so your one of your legs will be 24 and one will be 10. Now we just plug that into the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse and we get 26. The area is 24b10/2=120 the area is 120.

Leg a= 24

Leg b= 10

Hypotenuse=26

Area=120

Suppose Carla has $7000 to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 4 years: 7% compounded quarterly or 6.85% com
tatiyna

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The rate of 7% compounded quarterly is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of investment at 7% compounded quarterly, the final result after 4 years of investment arises from the following calculation:

X = 7000 x (1 + 0.7 / 3) 4x3

X = 9,232.16

Therefore, after 4 years of investment, the amount in the account would be $ 9,232.16.

In turn, in the case of the investment at 6.85% compounded monthly, the final result after the same investment period arises from the following calculation:

X = 7000 x (1 + 0.685 / 12) 4x12

X = 9,199.33

Thus, in this case, the amount in the account after 4 years of investment would be $ 9,199.33.
