Answer:

12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation: a² + b² = c² , in which c is the hypotenuse, and a & b are the other sides.

Note that the hypotenuse is 15, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables

a² + (9)² = (15)²

Simplify. First, solve for the solvable squares

a² + 81 = 225

Isolate the variable a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 81 from both sides:

a² + 81 (-81) = 225 (-81)

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

Isolate the variable a. Root both sides.

√(a²) = √(144)

a = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

a = 12

12 cm is your answer

Jake's parents want $100,000 at the end of 40 years. They put their money in an account that yields 4% per year compounded conti
Rudik [331]

Answer:

$ 20,189.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake's parents want $100,000 at the end of 40 years. They put their money in an account that yields 4% per year compounded continuously. How much money should jakes parents deposit?

From the above question, we are to find the Principal. The formula for Principal compounded continuously =

P = A / e^rt

Where:

A = Amount after time t = $100,000

r = Interest rate = 4%

t = Time in years = 40 years

First, convert R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4%/100

r = 0.04 per year,

Then, solve our equation for P

P = A / e^rt

P = 100,000.00 / e ^(0.04×40)

P = $ 20,189.65

Therefore, the amount Jake's parents should invest = $ 20,189.65
