Answer:

AC=32 units.

Step by step explanation:

Given information: B, D, and F are midpoints if the sides of ΔACE, EC = 38 and DF = 16.

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

According to the midpoint theorem, if a line segments connecting two midpoints then the line is parallel to the third side and it's length is half of the third side.

Since F and D are midpoints of AE and EC respectively.

Using midpoint theorem, the length of AC is twice of DF.

$AC=2\times DF$

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

$AC=2\times 16$

$AC=32$

Therefore, the length of AC is 32 units.

Answer:

$\$17,846.12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

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

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ A=\$20,000\\ r=0.0114\\n=12$

substitute in the formula above

$\$20,000=P(1+\frac{0.0114}{12})^{12*10}$

$P=\$20,000/[(1+\frac{0.0114}{12})^{120}]$

$P=\$17,846.12$

HELP PLEASE!! I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH

Hello, please consider the following.

We will multiply the numerator and denominator by

$4+\sqrt{6x}$

to get rid of the root in the denominator.

First of all, we cannot divide by 0, right? So, we need to make sure that the denominator is different from 0.

$4-\sqrt{6x} =0\sqrt{6x}=4\\\\\text{Take the square}\\\\6x=4^2=16\\\\x=\dfrac{16}{6}=\dfrac{8}{3}$

We need to take any x real number different from 8/3 then and simplify the expression.

Let's do it!

$\begin{aligned}\dfrac{4}{4-\sqrt{6x}}&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(4+\sqrt{6x})(4-\sqrt{6x})}\\\\&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(4^2-\sqrt{6x}^2)}\\\\&=\dfrac{4(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(16-6x)}\\\\&=\dfrac{2(4+\sqrt{6x})}{(8-3x)}\\\\&\large \boxed{=\dfrac{8+2\sqrt{6x}}{8-3x}}\end{aligned}$
