Consider the attached figure. All the triangles shown are similar, so

CB/CA = CD/CB
30/50 = projection/30
projection = 30^2/50
projection = 18

With compound interest, what happens when you start compounding more and more frequently?
VLD [36.1K]
Your money grows faster because the interest is added back into the principle and then the next time it compounds you get interest on the new principle amount.  So for example, you deposit $100 in an account that gets 5% interest compounded semiannually. The first time it compounds you get $5 added to your account so your new balance is $105.  The next time it compounds you get 5% on $105 so you get $5.25 added and so on.  If this is only happening semi-annually that would be all you get for the year.  But if it happens quarterly you would get would get deposits of $5.51 and $5.79 as well.  If it compounds monthly or even daily your money would grow more and more.  Hope this helps.

Give an example of how you use positive and negative numbers, and explain the meaning of 0 in your example.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Meanings of the numbers:

Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.

How I would use them in every day life:

I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas

I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.

Hope this helps! (^-^)
