Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:

8x - 2 = 12x - 30
12x -8x = 30 -2
4x = 28
x= 28/4
x= 7

Two sides of a parallelogram are 500 feet and 790 feet. The measure of the angle

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

215117 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumed the base is the longer side.

The height of the parallelogram is:

h/500 = sin 33°
h = 500 sin 33°
h = 272.3 ft

The area is:

A = bh
A = 790*272.3 = 215117 ft²

The amount of money in a savings account after t years is represented by the function f(t)=500(1.015)t.

Sauron [17]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
f(t)=\stackrel{\stackrel{I}{\downarrow }}{500}(1.015)^t$

Answer:

See below;

Step-by-step explanation:

21 . Consider an exponential function;

$Exponential Function in Form - y = a * b^x, where, a - start value, b - growth factor, x - time,\\\\Now y = f ( x ), in Other Words,\\p ( t ) = 300 * ( 0.5 )^t - Given,\\\\Through Substitution - f ( x ) = p ( t ), a = 300, b = 0.5, x = t,\\\\Conclusion ; 300 - ( start value ) - Starting Amount of Milligrams of Compound,\\0.5 - Milligrams Compound Decreases by$
