We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.

The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)

So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:

14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)

Suppose you invest $50 a month in an annuity that earns 4% APR compounded monthly. How much money will you have in this account
skelet666 [1.2K]
To solve this we are going to use formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity: FV=P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
where
FV is the future value
P is the periodic payment
r is the interest rate in decimal form
n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
t is the number of years

We know from our problem that the periodic payment is $50 and the number of years is 3, so P=50 and t=3. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%
r= \frac{4}{100}
r=0.04
Since the interest is compounded monthly, it is compounded 12 times per year; therefore, n=12.
Lets replace the values in our formula:
FV=P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt} -1}{ \frac{r}{n} } ]
FV=50[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.04}{12} )^{(12)(3)} -1}{ \frac{0.04}{12} } ]
FV=1909.08

We can conclude that after 3 years you will have $1909.08 in your account.

What is the value of (7 + 2i)(3 - i)?
Harrizon [31]
There are two ways to work this out: normal variables or using "imaginary" numbers.

Normal variables:
(7+2i)(3-i)\\(7*3)+[7*(-i)]+(3*2i)+[2i*(-i)]\\21-7i+6i-2i^{2}\\\\21-i-2i^{2}

Imaginary numbers:
Using the result from earlier:
21-i-2i^{2}
Now since i = \sqrt{-1}, then the expression becomes:
21-i-2i^{2}\\21-i-2(\sqrt{-1})^{2}\\21-i+(-2)(-1)\\21-i+2\\\\23-i

A trapezoid has an area of 36 square feet. If its height is 8, and one base is 4, what is the length of the other base?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

A=a+b/2 x h

4 = a

5 = b

8 = h

4 + 5 / 2 = 4.5

4.5 x 8 = 36

So the other base length is 5
