Answer:

B.  9.6 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P e^rt

His investment doubles so it comes to  3000 * 2 = $6000.

Substituting in the formula>

6000 = 3000e^7.2r   ehere r  is the interest rate.

e^7.2r = 2

Taking logs

7.2r = ln 2

r = ln2 / 7.2

r = 0.096

So the rate is 9.6%.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

9. 471.7 square units

10. 827.0 square units

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If you're going to have someone else solve your problem for you, it is much quicker and easier to use an appropriate computer or graphing calculator app. (See the attached.)

9. There are at least a couple of ways to approach this. The law of sines can be used to find the length of another side. Given two sides and the angle between them, a formula gives area.

<em>Law of Sines</em>

... a/sin(A) = c/sin(C)

Multiplying by sin(C) gives

... c = sin(C)·a/sin(A) = 19·sin(64°)/sin(20°) ≈ 49.9301

The angle between sides a and c is B, which has the value ...

... B = 180° -A -C = 180° -20° -64° = 96°

Then the area of the triangle is ...

... Area = (1/2)ac·sin(B) = (1/2)(19)(49.9301)(0.994522) ≈ 471.737 ≈ 471.7

10. Heron's formula will give the area of a triangle from its side lengths.

... s = (a+b+c)/2 = (51+38+45)/2 = 67

... Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) = √(67·16·29·22) = √683936 ≈ 827.004 ≈ 827.0

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 2x − 3y = 3 and passes through the point (−8, 2).. .A) y = two
Ivahew [28]
First we need to find the slope of the original equation
2x - 3y = 3
-3y = -2x + 3
y = 2/3x - 1....the slope here is 2/3.
However, we need a perpendicular line...so we need to use the negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign.
slope 2/3.....flip.....3/2....change the sign...-3/2.
so our perpendicular line will need a slope of -3/2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/2
(-8,2)...x = -8 and y = 2
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
2 = -3/2(-8) + b
2 = 12 + b
2 - 12 = b
-10 = b

so our perpendicular line is : y = -3/2x - 10

Consider circle H below.
hram777 [196]

We have been given a circle H, in which length of arc XY is 78 miles and measure of arc XY is 70 degrees. We are asked to find the radius of circle.

We will use arc length formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Arc length}=2\pi r\cdot \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}, where,

r = Radius of circle,

\theta = Central angle corresponding to arc.

We know that the measure of central angle that corresponds to arc XY will be equal to measure of arc XY.

78=2\cdot 3.14\cdot r\cdot \frac{70^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}

78=2\cdot 3.14\cdot  r\cdot \frac{7}{36}

78= 3.14\cdot r\cdot \frac{7}{18}

78= r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}

r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}=78

r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}\cdot \frac{18}{21.98}=78\cdot \frac{18}{21.98}

r=63.8762511373

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

r\approx 63.88

Therefore, the radius of circle H is approximately 63.88 miles.

Solve <br> f(x)=4x5−8x4+8x2−4x
Goryan [66]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=4x^5-8x^4+8x^2-4x

To find:

The roots of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=4x^5-8x^4+8x^2-4x

For roots, f(x)=0.

4x^5-8x^4+8x^2-4x=0

4x(x^4-2x^3+2x-1)=0

4x((x^4-1)+(-2x^3+2x))=0

4x((x^2+1)(x^2-1)-2x(x^2-1))=0

On further simplification, we get

4x(x^2+1-2x)(x^2-1)=0

4x(x-1)^2(x+1)(x-1)=0

4x(x+1)(x-1)^3=0

Using zero product property, we get

4x=0

x=0

Similarly,

x+1=0

x=-1

And,

(x-1)^3=0

x=1

Therefore, the zeroes of the given function are -1,0,1 and the factor form of the given function is f(x)=4x(x+1)(x-1)^3.
