The distance between given points is 3.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are;

(2,6) and (5,8)

Here;

$x_1=2\\y_1=6\\x_2=5\\y_2=8$

Distance between two points is calculated by;

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(5-2)^2+(8-6)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(9+4)}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{13}\\\\Distance=3.6\ units$

The distance between given points is 3.6 units.

Describe two methods that can be used to find the area of the composite figure.

vekshin1

You can draw a line to make a square and a rectangle to help find the area. The other method would be to form 2 squares and 1 rectangle.

This is probably wrong but I hope it helps!

If $48,000 is invested in an account earning 3.1% interest compounded continuously, determine how long it will

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

It will take about 35.439 years to triple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for continuously compounded interest:

$A=P\,e^{r*t}$

where "A" is the total (accrued or future) accumulated value, "r" is the rate (in our case 0.031 which is the decimal form of 3.1%), "P" is the principal, and "t" is the time in years (our unknown).

Notice also that even that the final amount we want to get is three times $48,000. So our formula becomes:

$3\,*\,48,000=\,48,000\,\,e^{0.031\,*t}\\\frac{3\,*\,48,000}{48,000} =e^{0.031*t}\\3=e^{0.031*t}$
