Answer:

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be represented by x. The middle number is x+1, and the largest number is x+2.

The product of the smaller and larger number is (x)(x+2).

15 more than 6 times the middle number is 6(x+1)+15.

(x)(x+2)=6(x+1)+15

x^2+2x=6x+6+15

x^2+2x=6x+21

x^2-4x-21=0

(x-7)(x+3)=0

x=-3 or x=7

The numbers are either {-3, -2, -1} or {7, 8, 9}.

The construction method used to construct a perpendicular through a point not on a line could also be used to construct a perpen
Rama09 [41]
The answer for the question above is TRUE.

Given a line segment with endpoints A and B, we must merely find a point on the perpendicular bisector of the line AB, then use the perpendicular line construction. To find the point on the perpendicular bisector, we must merely find a point that is equidistant from both A and B. We can do this with a compass by choosing a compass length greater than half the length AB, and then making an arc from A above the line AB. Then we make an arc from B having the same length. 

<span>Since we used the same length for each arc, the intersection of the arcs, P, is equidistant from A and B. Now we simply use the perpendicular line construction for line AB and P, which is off the line. This line will be a perpendicular bisector. </span>

Find the balance in an account when $500 is deposited at 4% interest compounded semi-annually for 2 years
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$541.22

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Amount deposited (principal) is $500

Rate of interest is 4%

Time = 2 years

We are required to determine amount in the account after 2 years

Interest periods, n = 4 (since the money was compounded semi-annually)

rate of interest, r = 2%

Using the compound  interest formula;

Amount, A = P (1 + r/100)^n

Therefore;

Amount = $500 (1 + 2/100)^4

             = $500 × 1.02^4

            = $541.22

Therefore, the balance in the account after 2 years is $541.22
