The area of a rectangle is

1 answer:

8 0

Area = length x width
length = 3 x width - 5

i.e. 50 = w(3w - 5)
3w^2 - 5w - 50 = 0
(3w + 10)(w - 5) = 0
w = -10/3 or w = 5
but width cannot be negative, hence
width = 5 yd
Length = 3 x 5 - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10 yd

The shapes below are similar. What does x have to be?

I think it is 3.5
if 8 is divided by 4, you get two since they are the same shape, 14 should be divided by 4 as well which is 3.5

8000$ is invested in an account the yields 6% interest per year. After how many years will the account worth 13709.60$ if the in

ozzi

Answer:

After 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $8000

r = 6% = 0.046

n = 12

The compound interest is given by:

$A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}$

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.

Putting the values, we get,

$13709.60 = 8000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\dfrac{13709.60}{8000} = \bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.7137 = (1.005)^{12t}\\\Rightarrow t \approx 9$

Thus, after 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$
