$\frac{8}{15}$

My Work/Reasoning:
First we find the sum of 1/3 and 1/5. $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{15} + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$
Then, we find the multiplicative inverse, I guess it's also known as the reciprocal. $\frac{8}{15}$ turns into $\frac{15}{8}$
Finally, we simplify. $\frac{15}{8}=1 \frac{7}{8}$

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef

uranmaximum [27]

The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
$r = {(1 + \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1$
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
$r = {(1 + \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = {(1 + \frac{1}{25}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = \frac{676}{625} - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%$

Find the area of the rectangle with a length of (x^2-2) and a width of (2x^2-x+2)

Katyanochek1 [597]

Area=legnth times width

so multiply them together use distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
in this problem
(a+b)(c+d+e)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d)+(a+b)(e)

so
x^2-2 times (2x^2-x+2)=(x^2)(2x^2-x+2)-(2)(2x^2-x+2)=(2x^4-x^3+2x^2)-(4x^2-2x+4)
add like terms
2x^4-x^3+(2x^2-4x^2)-2x+4
2x^4-x^3-2x^2-2x+4

Answer:

The new points to the triangle will be:
$A(1,4)\\ B(1,1)\\ C(-1,1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the reflection point is at $x=2$ , all x values will subtract their distances from $x=2$ to get their new values. The y values remain the same.
