Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2, since it will form a right triangle.

You aren't missing the hypotenuse (c), but one of the side lengths (b). But you still solve like a normal algebraic equation.

Plugging in your values, you should start with 5^2+b^2=12^2

Then square everything.

25+b^2=144

Take away 25 from both sides.

b^2= 119

Then square root both sides.

b= 10.9

I understand the simple interest part, however I don’t understand the compounded interest part, need help quick.
Burka [1]
Compound interest is the starting amount x (1+ the interest rate as a decimal)^ the time in years=the final amount.

In your case, the equation will be $1000*(1+0.10)^how many years= the final amount.

Which of the following graphs represents a function?
kirza4 [7]

The third graph represents a function.

In a function, every input (x value) has <em>exactly</em> one output (y value). If even a single input has zero or two outputs, the graph does not represent a function.

A good way of testing this is using a vertical line. As you move a vertical line from left to right across a graph, it should always be touching exactly one point on the graphed line.

In this case, every graph fails this vertical line test except for the third graph, so the third graph represents a function.
