Answer:  6.07 Feet (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Chad is h feet,

Here, the height of shadow = 14.3 feet,

The angle from the top of the head of chad to the end of shadow = 23°

By the below diagram,

\frac{\text{The height of chad}}{\text{The height of shadow}}=tan23^{\circ}

⇒ \frac{h}{14.3} = tan 23^{\circ}

⇒ h = 14.3\times tan23^{\circ}

⇒ h = 6.0699898718\text{ feet}\approx 6.07\text{ Feet}

Paul is saving for a down payment to buy a house. The account earns 13% interest compound quarterly, and he wants to have $15,00
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The principal must be = $8991.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for compound interest is:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount after 't' years.

P is the principal amount

n is the number of times interest is compounded each year.

r is the rate of interest.

Here, we are given that:

Amount, A = $15000

Rate of interest = 13 % compounded quarterly i.e. 4 times every year

Number of times, interest is compounded each year, n = 4

Time, t = 4 years.

To find, Principal P = ?

Putting all the given values in the formula to find P.

15000 = P(1 + \frac{13}{400})^{4\times 4}\\\Rightarrow 15000 = P(1 + 0.0325)^{16}\\\Rightarrow 15000 = P(1.0325)^{16} \\\Rightarrow 15000 = P \times 1.66817253\\\Rightarrow P = \dfrac{15000}{1.66817253}\\\Rightarrow P \approx \$8991.88

So, <em>the principal must be = $8991.88</em>

(3x – 5 – 7x2) – (–2 + 6x2 – 5x)
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

8x-13x²-3

Step-by-step explanation:

you first have to work with the negative sign and the brackets by multiplying the negative sign by everything in the second brackets

3x-5-7x²+2-6x²+5x

then group the like terms

3x+5x-7x²-6x²+2-5

8x-13x²-3

Write an equation of the line through (6,-2) with a slope of 4
torisob [31]

Notice that for this question, they are providing you with:

1) The slope of the line (4)

2) a point on the plane through which the line goes (6, -2)

So you can directly use for this the "point-slope" form of a line which is as follows:

y-y_0=m(x-x_{0)}

This includes m as the slope, and the pair (x0, y0) as the pair representing the point the line goes through.

So, let's use the info they gave you to complete this:

y-(-2)=4(x-6)

which we can work out a little more:

y+2=4x-24

And even a little more to finish the equation of the line in its standard slope-intercept form:

y=4x-24-2=4x-26

So the equation of the line is:

y=4x-26
