They are complementary because if you were to put them on top of one another they'd line up. (same degree measurement)
Answer:
The interest rate is 7.58%
Step-by-step explanation:
Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:
A = P
, where
- A is the future value of the investment, including interest
- P is the principal investment amount (the initial amount)
- r is the interest rate in decimal
- t is the time the money is invested for
∵ Angus has $3,000 he want to invest
∴ P = 3000
∵ The interest rate is compounded continuously
∵ Angus has $5,500 in 8 years
∴ A = 5500
∴ t = 8
→ Substitute them in the rule above to find r
∵ 5500 = 3000
→ Divide both sides by 3000
∴
= 
→ Insert ㏑ in both sides
∵ ㏑(
) = ㏑(
)
→ Remember ㏑(
) = n
∴ ㏑(
) = 8r
→ Divide both sides by 8
∴ 0.07576697545 = r
→ Multiply it by 100% to change it to a percentage
∴ r = 0.07576697545 × 100%
∴ r = 7.576697545 %
→ Round it to the nearest hundredth
∴ r ≅ 7.58
∴ The interest rate is 7.58%
Answer:
x = 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.
AB/BC = CG/GE
x/1 = 9/4
x = 9/4
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...
(9+x)/x = 5/1
We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the unit rate for this painting:
3/5 of wall surface 3/5 15 9
------------------------------- = --------------- * --------- = -----------
(8/15) hour 8/15 15 8
Jane could actually paint the whole wall plus 1/8 more of it in one hour.
