Use pythagorean theorem - a^2+ b^2 = c^2
a = 2ft, b = ?, c = 6ft
2 x 2 + b^2 = 6 x 6
4 + b^2 = 36
b^2 = 36 - 4 = 32
b = square root of 32
= 5.66ft

If \\(z_1=3+2i\\) and \\(z_2=4+3i\\) and are complex numbers, find \\(z_1z_2\\)
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

z_1z_2=(3+2i)(4+3i)=3\cdot4+2i\cdot4+3\cdot3i+2i\cdot3i

z_1z_2=12+8i+9i+6i^2

i^2=-1, so

z_1z_2=12+8i+9i-6=\boxed{6+17i}

a person invest $1,700 in an account that earns 3.97% annual interest. find when the value of the investment reaches $3,200
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

  16 1/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming interest is compounded annually, the account balance (A) after t years will be ...

  A = P(1 +r)^t

  3200 = 1700·1.0397^t

  log(3200) = log(1700) +t·log(1.0397)

  t = (log(3200) -log(1700))/log(1.0397) ≈ 16.247

The account will reach a balance of $3200 after about 16 1/4 years.

___

You may be asked to round your answer to the nearest integer or tenth. We leave that exercise to the student.
