Answers: A) $44,944
B) $50,499.0784
Math: Using the percentage calculator linked below 6% of $40,000 is $2,400. Since you're getting your second raise after your first and since it is a 6% raise from what you're getting paid at that time we add pay raise 1 to your starting pay before calculating the 6% for pay raise 2. $40,000+$2,400=$42,400. 6% of $42,400 is $2,544. $42,400+$2,544=$44,944, Since that is two pay raises that would be your earnings at the end of year two (answer A).
We continue calculating 6% then adding that onto the total before calculating it for the next year for problem B.
6% of $44,944 is $2,696.64. $44,944+$2,696.64=$47,640.64.
6% of $47,640.64 is $2,858.4384. $47,640.64+$2,858.4384=$50,499.0784. That's answer B.
Hopefully you can figure out C on your own! I feel a little bad for giving a partial answer but I think you can do this!

Answer:
y =3x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm fairly certain this is the answer.
Consider the point (3,-3). In terms of variables this is written (x,y).
Remember that the equation for slope is y = mx + b.
In that equation, "b" is your y-intercept, and "m" is your slope.
If 2 lines are parallel, they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. So you can use the slope from the equation y=3x-4 to find the parallel line. You can also plug in the values 3 and -3 to solve for b, our y-intercept.
If we set up the equation, we have -3 = 3(3) + b.
Now solve for b.
-3 = 9 + b
Combine like terms, so that -12 = b, and you have your y-intercept.
To create the equation, take out the coordinate pair that the line passes through, and only have the SLOPE and the Y-INTERCEPT showing in the equation.
Therefore, y = 3x - 12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Well what you have here are two right triangles within another right triangles created by an altitude. This results in 3 similar triangles (see attached for reference)
As a result , using the properties of similar triangles, and taking ratios of their sides of the medium triangle and the largest triangle, we can form the following relationship:
(we know that a+b = 15), hence the equation becomes:
----------eq 1
If we consider the largest triangle, we will see that
cos 30° = z / 15
but from our special angles (see second attachment) we know that cos 30° = (√3)/2
hence
(√3)/2 = z / 15
z = (15√3) / 2 --------eq 2
from the same largest triangle, we will also see that
sin 30° = x / 15
similarly from our special angles, we know that sin 30° = 1/2
hence,
1/2 = x/15
x = 15/2 --------eq 3
now that we have values for x and z, we can neglect the first term of equation 1 and form an equality with x, y and z

(substituting the values for x and z that we found above)
y = (15/2) · [ (15√3) / 2] / 15
y = (15√3) / 4
