7+3=10

10 units=280
divide by 10
1unit=28

smaller is 3 units
1unit=28
times 3 both sides
3unit=84

smaller is 84

Step-by-step explanation:

cos2θ = 2 cos^2 θ - 1

2cos^2 θ = 1 + cos2θ

cos^2 θ = (1 + cos2θ)/2

Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

$f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}$

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial $x^2-x-2$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x-2) (x + 1)$

We do the same with the numerator

$x^2+4x+3$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x+3)(x + 1)$

Therefore

$f(x) = \frac{(x+3)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}$

Note that $\frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1$ only if $x \neq -1$

So since $x = -1$ is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in $x = -1$

If you set aside $9000 at the end of each year for the next 22 years in a Roth IRA, how much will you have at your retirement 22

madam [21]

Answer:

$501,049.37

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the amount after 22 years we need to applied the future value which is shown in the attachment below:

Given that

PMT = $9,000

NPER = 22 years

Annual rate = 0.078

Quarterly= 0.078 ÷ 4 = 0.0195

Effective annual rate = (1.0195^4) - 1 = 0.0803113041

Now applied the formula which is given below

= -FV(RATE;NPER;PMT;PV)

After applying the above formula, the future value is $501,049.37

Which is the value of this expression when p=-2 and q=-1?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$[(p^2) (q^{-3}) ]^{-2}.[(p)^{-3}(q)^5] ^{-2}\\\\=[(p^2) (q^{-3}) \times(p)^{-3}(q)^5 ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{2}) \times(p)^{-3} \times (q^{-3}) \times(q)^5 ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{2-3}) \times (q^{5-3}) ]^{-2}\\\\=[(p^{-1}) \times (q^{2}) ]^{-2}\\\\=(p^{-1\times (-2)}) \times (q^{2\times (-2) }) \\\\=p^{2}\times q^{-4} \\\\= \frac{p^2}{q^4}\\\\= \frac{(-2)^2}{(-1)^4}\\\\= \frac{4}{1}\\\\= 4$
