By Pythagoras Theorem,
Length= (20^2 - 15^2)^0.5= (175)^0.5=5√7

You have $5600. The best interest rate you can find is 3%

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for computing accrued amount A for a principal of P at an interest rate of r(in decimal) compounded n times in a year for t years is given by

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Note that r is percentage converted to decimal. So 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

We can rearrange the above equation to:

$\frac{A}{P} = (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Taking logs on both sides

$log(\frac{A}{P}) = log(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

This gives

$log(\frac{A}{P}) =nt \times log(1 + \frac{r}{n})\\So,\\nt = \frac{log(\frac{A}{P})}{ log(1 + \frac{r}{n})}$

In this particular problem, n = 4, , A= 9600, P = 5600, r =0.03, so r/n = 0.03/4 = 0.0075

1 + r/n = 1+0.0075 = 1.0075

4t = log(9600/5600)/log(1.0075) = log(1.714) / log(1.0075) = 0.234 /0.00325 = 72

t = 72/4 = 18 years

Scientific notation<br> 9.78 × 10^5 - 732,000<br> It has to be either 2.46 × 10^5 or 2.46 × 10^3

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$2.46\times 10^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9.78 \times 10^5 - 732,000\\= 9.78 \times 10^5 - 7.32 000\times 10^5\\= 9.78 \times 10^5 - 7.32\times 10^5\\= 2.46\times 10^5$

The temperature on Wednesday evening was -°5 Fahrenheit. The temperature decreased another 8° throughout the night. Wjat was the

____ [38]

The temperature on Thursday morning would be -13°F.

Since the temperature decreased throughout the night, this is a subtraction problem.

-5 - 8 = - 13
