Answer: After 7 years, the value of the sailboat is $3045.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original value of the sailboat = $9500

Depreciation rate = 15%

Number of years = 7

As we know the formula for "Compound Interest "i.e

A=P(1-\frac{r}{100})^n

where,

A denotes Amount

P denotes original value

r denotes rate of depreciation,

n denotes number of years.

So, our equation becomes ,

A=9500(1-\frac{15}{100})^7\\\\A=9500(1-0.15)^7\\\\A=9500(0.85)^7\\\\A=\$3045.49

Hence, after 7 years, the value of the sailboat is $3045.49.

After 7 years, the valu of the boat = 9500(1 - 0.15)^7 = 9500(0.85)^7 = $3,045.48

What are the roots to<br> the equation<br> 2x² + 6x-1=0?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The roots of  equations are as m =  \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}  And n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}    

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is 2 x² + 6 x - 1 = 0

This equation is in form of a x² + b x + c = 0

Let the roots of the equation are ( m , n )

Now , sum of roots = \frac{ - b}{a}

And products of roots = \frac{c}{a}

So, m + n = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3

And m × n =  \frac{ - 1}{2}

Or, (m - n)² = (m + n)² - 4mn

Or, (m - n)² = (-3)² - 4 (\frac{ - 1}{2})

Or, (m - n)² = 9 + 2 = 11

I.e m - n = \sqrt{11}

Again m + n = - 3    And m - n = \sqrt{11}

Solving this two equation

(m + n) + ( m - n) = - 3 + \sqrt{11}

I.e 2 m =  - 3 + \sqrt{11}

Or, m = \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}

Similarly n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}      

Hence the roots of  equations are as m =  \frac{-3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}  And n =  \frac{-3}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{11} }{2}      Answer

What is the value of x in the triangle
lorasvet [3.4K]

The value of x is 24.

<h3>What is Trigonometry?</h3>

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles.

Given:

P= 12√2

angle =45

Using trigonometry

sin 45= P/H

1/√2 = 12√2/H

H= 12√2*√2

H= 12*2

H= 24

Hence, the value of x is 24.

How does the order of steps in solving an equation relate to order of operations
Akimi4 [234]
If you dont follow the right steps in the right order or properly, you won't end up with the right answer:
For example 3 x 5 + 7
If you do multiplication then add you get 22 which is correct.... but!!
If you add then do multiplication you get 36 which isn't right

Remember always follow PEMDAS
P-Parenthesis
E-Exponents
M or D- Multiplication or division (go left to right)
A or S- Addition or Subtraction (go left to right)

Please write an equation in slope intercept form that is parallel to the equation
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

y=1/4x-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, because the line is parallel, the slope is the same. Then, to get the y-int, you do b=y-mx with the point, so the equation is b=-1-(1/4)(2), then you multiply to get b=-1-(0.5), so your y-int is -1.5.
