This is a case of exponential growth.  The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is     P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50

or                                   = 500 (1.15)^50

Evaluate this on your calculator.

Help help im so confused as per usual
Alik [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. HM = 14

HN = 21

HK = 10.5

Based on intersecting chords theorem,

HK*HJ = HM*HN

10.5*HJ = 14*21 (Substitution)

HJ = 294/10.5

HJ = 28

b. VC = 7.2

VG = 12

Based on tangent-secant theorem, thus:

VD*VC = VG²

VD*7.2 = 12²

VD = 144/7.2

VD = 20

Therefore,

CD = VD - VC

CD = 20 - 7.2

CD = 12.8

PLZ HELP ME! I WILL MAKE YOU BRAINLIEST! Xian and his cousin Kai both collect stamps. Xian has 60 stamps, and Kai has 76 stamps.
zvonat [6]

Answer: After 4 months they will have the same number of Stamps

Xian and Kai will have 124 stamps each one.

Step-by-step explanation:

60+16x = 76+12x (Subtract 12 from both sides)

-12 -12

60+4x = 76 (Subtract 60 from both sides)

-60 -60

4x/4x = 16/4x (Divide 16 by 4)

X = 4

A basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges .One serving of oranges is 1/8 of a pound.How many servings of oranges are there
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2/15 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

IF a basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges, then;

1 servings= 15/16 pounds of oranges

To get the number of servings for 1/8 pounds

x servings = 1/8 pounds

Divide both expressions

1/x = (15/16)/(1/8)

1/x = 15/16 * 8/1

1/x = 15/2

x = 2/15

Hence there will be 2/15 servings of oranges

The length of the base of a scalene triangle is 22 meters and the height is 14 meters. Find the area of the scalene triangle
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Area is 154 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Well lets think about this

If I take a rectangle and cut it into half diagonally I would get 2 triangles right?

So if I have 2 triangles of the same height and base I can make a rectangle

to find the area of a rectangle I do length times width

So lets take our scalene triangle and multiply our base with its width and then divide by 2

22*14 = 308

308/2 is 154

Help! problem:<br>5-x=11+x
snow_tiger [21]
The answer is x=-3

5-x=11+x
-11  -11             First subtract 11
-6-x=x          
+x  +x                Now add x to both sides
-6=2x 
~2 ~2                 Finally divide by 2
-3=x                   Your answer is x=-3
