<h3>Answer: Angle 1 is 80 degrees</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
See the diagram below. I've extended one of the rays to form a full line. This is shown in red. The alternate interior angles 60 and x are congruent due to the parallel lines, so x = 60.
We can then find angle y
x+y+20 = 180 ... angles of a triangle add to 180
60+y+20 = 180
y+80 = 180
y = 180-80
y = 100
Use this to find z
y+z = 180
100+z = 180
z = 180-100
z = 80
Or you could use the remote interior angle theorem
x+20 = z
60+20 = z
80 = z
z = 80

Answer:
$800,500 (nearest dollar)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given scenario can be modeled as an <u>exponential equation</u>.
<u>General form of an exponential function</u>:
where:
- a is the initial value (y-intercept)
- b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
- x is the independent variable
- y is the dependent variable
If b > 1 then it is an increasing function
If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function
The initial value (a) is the value of the investment.
Therefore, a = 1,000,000.
If the investment <u>decreases</u> by 2.2% each year, then it will be 97.8% of the previous year.
Therefore, b = 97.8% = 0.978.
Substitute these values into the formula to create a general equation for the scenario:
(where x is the time, in years).
To find the value of the investment after 10 years, substitute x = 10 into the formula:
Therefore, the value of the investment after 10 years is $800,500 (nearest dollar).
