Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing the price of gas for the years after 2000 is expressed as

y = 1.26(1.10)^x

Where x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 represent these years : 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010, the table would be

1) x = 0(2000)

y = 1.26(1.10)^0

y = 1.3

2) x = 2(2002)

y = 1.26(1.10)^2

y = 1.5

3) x = 4(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^4

y = 1.8

4) x = 6(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^6

y = 2.2

5) x = 8(2006)

y = 1.26(1.10)^8

y = 2.7

6) x = 10(2008)

y = 1.26(1.10)^10

y = 3.3

Answer:

They will both be recorded in joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

They will both be recorded in joules.

As energy and work both are measured in joules. If we define work it is the force applied on an object as it moves a certain distance and Energy is the ability to do work. Both are closely related because work done on an object can cause a change in energy. Now if a ball is rolling down a hill then there is no frictional loss then its energy will be conserved but the work done by the ball will continuously change.Therefore they will both be measured in joules.

Your grandparents invested $2,000 for you on the day you were born. How much will this investment be worth on your 25th birthday

algol [13]

We know that, Amount in Compound interest is given by :

$\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{Amount = Principal\bigg(1 + \dfrac{Rate \ of \ Interest}{100}\bigg)^{Time \ Period}}}$

Given : Principal = $2000

Given : Annual yield is 5% and the interest is compounded quarterly

It means : Interest is compounded 4 times in a year

$\implies \sf{Rate \ of \ Interest = \dfrac{R}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4}}$

$\sf{\implies Time \ period = (25 \times 4) = 100}$

Substituting all the values in the formula, we get :

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{100}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{5}{400}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(1 + \dfrac{1}{80}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000\bigg(\dfrac{81}{80}\bigg)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times (1.0125)^{100}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 2000 \times 3.463}}$

$\implies \sf{Amount = 6926.8}$

The common point between lines y = 2x + 5 and y = ½ x + 6 is (3, 1/2). true or false

mixer [17]

The common point between y = 2x + 5 and y = (1/2)x + 6 will have the same values for x and y.

Therefore, set the two y expressions equal to obtain
2x + 5 = (1/2)x + 6

Subtract (1/2)x from each side.
(3/2)x + 5 = 6

Subtract 5 from each side.
(3/2)x = 1

Multiply each side by 2/3.
x = 2/3.

From the first equation, obtain
y = 2*(2/3) + 5 = 19/3.

The common point is (2/3, 19/3). It is not equal to (3, 1/2).

The lengths of the sides of a triangular garden are 10m, 11m, and 13m. find the measure of the angle opposite the longest side t

Zinaida [17]

We know that
applying the law of cosines
c²=a²+b²-2*a*b*cos C

in this problem
a=10 m
b=11 m
c=13 m
C=?

c²=a²+b²-2*a*b*cos C----> cos C=[a²+b²-c²]/[2*a*b]
cos C=[10²+11²-13²]/[2*10*11]----> cos C=0.2364
C=arc cos (0.2364)----> C=76.33°

the answer is
76.3°
