The effective rate is calculated in the following way:

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:
Its 0 because the slope would be one if it was a positive line and itd go up and across one unitl and it is undefined if it is parallel to the y axis
Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Substitute 1 for x
2. 6 times 1 is 6 plus 2 is 8
3.8 is equal to or greater than 8
Answer:
21 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Height of the tripod above the ground = 5 ft
Elevation = 8°
Distance of the tree from the tripod = 120 ft
Therefore from the figure, we can find the height of the tress as:


∴ BC ≈ 16
Therefore, CE = BC+BE
= 16 + 5
= 21
Therefore the height of the tree is 21 feet.
