Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

AB= 6x, BC= x-5, AC= 23

Substituting what we know

6x + x-5 = 23

Combine like terms

7x -5 = 23

Add 5 to each side

7x-5+5 =23+5

7x = 28

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 28/7

x=4

The variables A, B, and C represent polynomials where A = x2, B = 3x + 2, and C = x – 3. What is AB – C2 in simplest form?

Bingel [31]

AB - C2 = (x2)(3x + 2) - (x-3)2
AB - C2 = 3x3 + 2x2 - (x2 -6x +9)
AB - C2 = = 3x3 + 2x2 - x2 + 6x - 9
AB - C2 = = 3x3 + x2 + 6x - 9

Find the area of the triange below<br><br>units given are cm, cm^2, cm^3

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$A=150\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hypotenuse of triangle, H = 25 cm

Base = 15 cm

Height = 20 cm

We need to find the area of the triangle. The area of a right-angled triangle is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 15\times 20\\A=150\ cm^2$

So, the area of the triangle is equal to $150\ cm^2$ .

For each of the following, determine the interest rate per compounding period. 1) 12% per year, compounded weekly b) 8% per year

Zarrin [17]

Using compound interest, the rates per compounding period are given as follows:

a) 0.1273 = 12.73%.

b) 0.0833 = 8.33%

c) 0.0617 = 6.17%

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

$A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

In which:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.

P is the principal(the initial sum of money).

r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).

n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

The <u>interest rate per compounding period</u> is given as follows:

$\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^n - 1$

For item a, the parameters are:

r = 0.12, n = 52.

Hence:

$\left(1 + \frac{0.12}{52}\right)^{52} - 1 = 0.1273$

For item b, the parameters are:

r = 0.08, n = 104.

Hence:

$\left(1 + \frac{0.08}{104}\right)^{104} - 1 = 0.0833$

For item c, the parameters are:

r = 0.06, n = 12.

Hence:

$\left(1 + \frac{0.06}{12}\right)^{12} - 1 = 0.0617$
