Answer:

Bird house is 20 ft. high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the bird house is h feet high casts a shadow of 14 ft long.

My friend is 5 feet high and casts a shadow of 3.5 feet.

Now we see both the triangles Δ ABC and Δ XYZ are similar.

By the similar triangles theorem sides opposite to the corresponding angles will be in the same ratio.

\frac{5}{h}=\frac{3.5}{14} (from similar triangles ABC and XYZ)

h=\frac{14\times5}{3.5}=\frac{70}{3.5}=20 ft.

Therefore bird's house is 20 feet high.

Kristen invests $ 5745 in a bank. The bank 6.5% interest compounded monthly. How long must she leave the money in the bank for i
podryga [215]

Answer:

1. 10.7 years

2. 17.0 years

3. 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula for compounded interest

A=P\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt},

where

A is final value, P is initial value, r is interest rate (as decimal), n is number of periods and t is number of years.

In your case,

1. P=$5745, A=2P=$11490, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then

11490=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},\\ \\2=(1.0054)^{12t},\\ \\12t=\log_{1.0054}2,\\ \\t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_ {1.0054}2\approx 10.7\ years.

2. P=$5745, A=3P=$17235, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%) and t is unknown. Then


17235=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12t},

3=(1.0054)^{12t},

12t=\log_{1.0054}3,

t=\dfrac{1}{12}\log_{1.0054}3\approx 17.0\ years.

3. <u>1 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=12 (compounded monthly), r=0.065 (6.5%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.065}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0054)^{60}\approx \$7936.39.

<u>2 choice:</u> P=$5745, n=4 (compounded monthly), r=0.0675 (6.75%), t=5 years and A is unknown. Then

A=5745\cdot \left(1+\dfrac{0.0675}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 5},\\ \\A=5745\cdot (1.0169)^{20}\approx \$8032.58.

The best will be 2nd option, because $8032.58>$7936.39

QUICK!!!
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option B is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An are CE and an inscribed angle CBE.

Measure of inscribed angle CBE = 25 °

We have to find the measure of the arc CE.

Concept:

  • An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle.
  • The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure the intercepted arc.
  • Measure of inscribed angle = 1/2 × measure of intercepted arc .

To find the measure of arc CE.

⇒ \angle CBE = \frac{1}{2} \times m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 2\times \angle CBE = m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 2\times 25 = m\ (arc\ CE)

⇒ 50 = m\ (arc\ CE)

Measure of intercepted arc CE = 50 degrees.

The measure of arc CE = 50° so, option B is the right choice.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...

(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)

Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...

x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0

Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...

x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A

___

You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)

How do you show less than or equal too on a number line?
NISA [10]
It is like if you have two number lines. Then one has a pointer at 0, and the other one has the pointer facing at 2 then it will be lesser because the first one has 0 or if it turned around it would be greater. If it is equal then it would have the same number, but watch out if it is a negative number.
