Answer:

C. Three

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation for n:

14,580 = 20,000(9/10)^n

14580/20000 = 729/1000 = (9/10)^n

(9/10)^3 = (9/10)^n . . . . . . write the left side as a cube

3 = n . . . . . . equate exponents

After year 3, the value will be $14,580.

_____

You can use logarithms to find n:

log(0.729) = n×log(0.9) . . . . . . taking the log of the 2nd line above

log(0.729)/log(0.9) = n = 3

The base of a solid oblique pyramid is an equilateral triangle with a base edge length of 18 inches What is the height of the tr

ExtremeBDS [4]

The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is calculated through the equation,
h = (cos x)(18 in)
where h is height and x is half of the angle of the triangle. Since the triangle is equilateral, the value of x is 30°. Substituting,
h = (cos 30°)(18 in)
h = 15.59 in
Thus, the height of the base is approximately 15.59 inches.
