General exponential equation
y = A(1+r)^x
where
A = initial value
r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-)
x = time period of the change
y = projected value

y = 300(1.05)^x
in this problem, x = years after 2017
we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650

650 <= 300(1.05)^x

The coordinates of parallelogram UVWZ are U(a, 0), W(c - a, b), and Z(c, 0). Find the coordinates of V without using any new var

UkoKoshka [18]

Check the picture below.

so, as you can see, the UV segment is parallel to ZW, and therefore, they're the same slope, hmmm wait just a second, what is the slope of ZW anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&Z&(~ c &,& 0~) 
% (c,d)
&W&(~ c-a &,& b~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{b-0}{(c-a)-c}\implies \cfrac{b}{-a}$

since now we know the ZW slope, we also know what is the slope for UV, thus,

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&U&(~ a &,& 0~) 
% (c,d)
&V&(~ x &,& y~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{y-0}{x-a}~~=~~\stackrel{ZW's~slope}{\cfrac{b}{-a}}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
y-0=b\implies \boxed{y=b}\\
-----------\\
x-a=-a\implies \boxed{x=0}
\end{cases}\qquad \qquad V~(0,b)$

Find the value of x in the given<br> right triangle.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

x = 10.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use sine to solve this since sine is opposite over hypotnuse.

sin(62) = x/12

.883 = x/12

x = .883 * 12

x = 10.6
