Ow... this geometry is sure hard!!
.
Wait a second. Nope.
.
TWO SIDES!!
.
ITT!!
.
CONVERSE ITT!!
.
Converse Isosceles Triangle Theorem!
.
Look at the picture I attached.
.
Two angles equal... THE SIDES ADJACENT TO IT EQUAL!!
.
PERFECTO!!
.
Hope I helped!!

Mr. Young is offered an investment opportunity. Kyra says she will invest his money at a 6% simple interest rate over the next 7

gregori [183]

Answer:

$126

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Investment is done as per Simple interest.

Principal = $3000

Time for which the investment is to done = 7 years

Rate of interest = 6%

To find:

Interest earned when the investment matures?

Solution:

Formula for Simple Interest :

$Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{PRT}{100}$

Where $P$ is the principal amount

$R$ is the Rate of Interest

$T$ is the time for which the investment is made

Putting the given values:

$Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{3000\times 6\times 7}{100}\\\Rightarrow Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{12600}{100}\\Simple\ Interest = \$126$

Therefore, the answer is:

Interest earned is <em>$126</em>.

How to know if a function is periodic without graphing it ?

zhenek [66]

A function $f(t)$ is periodic if there is some constant $k$ such that $f(t+k)=f(k)$ for all $t$ in the domain of $f(t)$ . Then $k$ is the "period" of $f(t)$ .

Example:

If $f(x)=\sin x$ , then we have $\sin(x+2\pi)=\sin x\cos2\pi+\cos x\sin2\pi=\sin x$ , and so $\sin x$ is periodic with period $2\pi$ .

It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for $k$ such that

$\pi\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+k)\right)+1.8\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+k)\right)=\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2+1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

Expanding on the left, you have

$\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2+\pi\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2$

and

$1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5-1.8\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5$

It follows that the following must be satisfied:

$\begin{cases}\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2=0\\\\\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5=0\end{cases}$

The first two equations are satisfied whenever $k\in\{0,\pm4,\pm8,\ldots\}$ , or more generally, when $k=4n$ and $n\in\mathbb Z$ (i.e. any multiple of 4).

The second two are satisfied whenever $k\in\left\{0,\pm\dfrac{10}7,\pm\dfrac{20}7,\ldots\right\}$ , and more generally when $k=\dfrac{10n}7$ with $n\in\mathbb Z$ (any multiple of 10/7).

It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when $k$ is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.

Let's verify:

$\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+20)\right)=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\cos10\pi}_1+\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\sin10\pi}_0=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2$

$\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+20)\right)=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\cos28\pi}_1-\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\sin28\pi}_0=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

More generally, it can be shown that

$f(t)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(a_i\sin(b_it)+c_i\cos(d_it))$

is periodic with period $\mbox{lcm}(b_1,\ldots,b_n,d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ .
