By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem

The height, x, of the tree is 70 meters.

Which point on the number line is located at approximately 13/17
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A number line consists only of one axis, conventionally a horizontal axis. Just create a line, and scale it according to practicality and your preference. Usually, it has an interval of 1 unit. But for this case, since it is in fraction form, the interval should be smaller so that you can see clearly where it is located. 

In decimal form, 13/17 is equal to 0.7647058824. Let's just round this off to 0.764, that can suffice already. So, you would expect it to be between 0.7 and 0.8 on the number line. Just estimate visually where it is located. Since, it is more than 0.75, the dot would be just slightly closer to 0.8 than 0.7. The exact location is shown in the attached picture.

Financial Algebra 1. Unit 1: Simple and Compound Interest Quiz A..
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$56,558.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on compound interest.

The formula to calculate the Total Amount based on compound interest is given as:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

A = Total or Final amount in the account after t years

P = Principal/ Initial amount invested=$35,000

r = Interest rate = 12%

n = compounding Frequency = daily = using 30 days in a month = 30 × 12 = 360 days

t = time in years = 4

A = $35,000( 1 + 0.12/360)^360 × 4

A = $56558.08

Approximately to the nearest cent ≈ A = $56,558.1

Therefore, Priscilla should be expecting $56,558.1 in the account after 4 years.
