Remember for any two polygons

Area of polygons is directly proportional to square of sides

BC²/XY²=135/15
15²/XY²=9
(15/3)²=XY²
XY=5in

#35

HJ²/XY²=168/378
8²/XY²=0.44
XY²=64/0.44
XY²=145.45
XY\approx 12+

Prove that an = 4^n + 2(-1)^nis the solution to

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to verify that if we substitute $a_n=4^n+2(-1)^n$ in the equation $a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}$ the equality is true.

Let's substitute first in the right hand side:

$3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}=3(4^{n-1}+2(-1)^{n-1})+4(4^{n-2}+2(-1)^{n-2})$

Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that $(-1)^{n-1}=\frac{1}{-1}(-1)^n=(-1)(-1)^{n}$ (this also works when the power is n-2).

$=3(4^{n-1})+6(-1)^{n-1}+4(4^{n-2})+8(-1)^{n-2}$

$=3(4^{n-1})+(-1)(6)(-1)^{n}+4^{n-1}+(-1)^2(8)(-1)^{n}$

$=4(4^{n-1})-6(-1)^{n}+8(-1)^{n}=4^n+2(-1)^n=a_n$

then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.

How many years would it take to make $500 interest on a 12000 investment at 3% per year

padilas [110]

Answer:

$t=1.4\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=?\\ P=\$12,000\\ I=\$500\\r=3\%=3/100=0.03$

substitute in the formula above

$500=12,000(0.03t)$

solve for t

$500=360t$

$t=500/360$

$t=1.4\ years$

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x3+5x2+4x−6?

Gre4nikov [31]

$f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6$
$f(-3)=(-3)^3+5(-3)^2+4(-3)-6=0\implies x+3\text{ is a factor of }f(x)$

Synthetic division yields

-3 | 1   5   4   -6
.    |      -3 -6    6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    | 1   2 -2    0

which translates to

$\dfrac{x^3+5x^2+4x-6}{x+3}=x^2+2x-2$

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

$x^2+2x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-2)}}2=-1\pm\sqrt3$

and so

$f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6=(x+3)(x-(-1+\sqrt3))(x-(-1-\sqrt3))$

Which equation is in standard form?

kifflom [539]

I believe that the last one is true

because the linear equations are

y=ax+b

which means that the point of y-axis is on one side and the slope, point on x-axis and y-intercept are on the other side

good luck
