Answer: 6units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a regular polygon, and it has 3 equal sides it means the polygon is a quadrilateral.

From the diagram,

5 - 2x = -4x + 9 ( side of quadrilateral )

Solving for x in the equation

-2x + 4x = 9 - 5 ( collection of like terms in simple linear equation )

2x = 4

Divide through by the coefficient of x which is 2

x = 2.

Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon which equals to the total length of the polygon is

Perimeter = 2 + 2 + 2

= 6units

How long will it take for an investment to triple if it is compounded continuously at 12%

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

9.694 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the investment is $P.

So, we are asked to determine the time it will grow to triple with the compound interest rate of 12%.

Let the time is y years.

So, from the formula of compound interest we can write

$3P = P(1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y}$

⇒ $(1 + \frac{12}{100} )^{y} = 3$

⇒ $(1.12)^{y} = 3$

Now, taking log both sides we get,

y log 1.12 = log 3 {Since, $\log a^{b} = b \log a$ }

⇒ 0.04922y = 0.477712

⇒ y = 9.694 years (Answer)

What is the equation of the following line written in slope intercept form? (-5,-1)

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph we have two points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3).

Look at the picture.

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{-3-(-1)}{-2-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}$

Put it to the equation in slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+b$

We can't read the y-intercept from the graph. Therefore put the coordinates of the point (-5, -1) to the equation and calculate b:

$-1=-\dfrac{2}{3}(-5)+b$

$-1=\dfrac{10}{3}+b$ subtract 10/3 from both sides

$-\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{10}{3}=b\to b=-\dfrac{13}{3}$

Finally:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}$
