Answer:

This is just the application of Pythagoras theorem

To find how high up the wall the ladder reach

⇒ 13^2 = x^2 + 5^2

therefore x^2 = 13^2 - 5^2

x^2 = 169 -25

x^2 = 144

x = 12

therefore the ladder is 12 foot high up the wall

i dont understand equations of parallel and perpendicular lines here's one of my teachers examples y=2x+4 (-2,1)

SIZIF [17.4K]

Parallel lines will never touch each other while perpendicular forms like an X shape. The slope for the parallel is the same while the perpendicular is a negative reciprocal. (Ex for negative reciprocal. 2/4=4/2)

$1500 is invested at a rate of 3% compounded monthly. Write a compound interest function to model this situation. Then find the

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Equation: $F=1500(1.0025)^{12t}$

The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound growth problem . THe formula is:

$F=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where

F is future amount

P is present amount

r is rate of interest, annually

n is the number of compounding per year

t is the time in years

Given:

P = 1500

r = 0.03

n = 12 (compounded monthly means 12 times a year)

The compound interest formula modelled by the variables is:

$F=1500(1+\frac{0.03}{12})^{12t}\\F=1500(1.0025)^{12t}$

Now, we want balance after 5 years, so t = 5, substituting, we get:

$F=1500(1.0025)^{12t}\\F=1500(1.0025)^{12*5}\\F=1500(1.0025)^{60}\\F=1742.43$

The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43
