Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that two of the numbers are only 2 apart, hence CB and CA, and the other one, AB, or the bottom side, is way less.

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to be a right triangle, it must follow pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse (long side of triangle).

A squared + B squared = C squared

6 squared + 8 squared = 100

Since we squared our addends, we must find the square root of 100 (which is 10)

Since 10 is one of the side lengths for the hypotenuse since it is the longest, and we got 10 from pythagorean theorem, we know it is a right triangle.

Hope this helps you. Have a great rest of your day.

Let’s pretend that we want to give our employees in total a28% raise in the next two years, but we want to spread out aconsisten

Solution

- The solution steps are given below:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Let the original amount be X} \\ \\ \text{ If we want a 28\% raise over the next two years, then it means that the amount will be:} \\ X+\frac{28}{100}X=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ If we want to give them a consistent raise each year, we can compute the scenario as follows:} \\ \text{ Let the percentage be }y \\ \\ X+y\%\text{ of }X=\text{ Salary after first year} \\ \\ (X+y\%\text{ of }X)+y\%\text{ of }(X+y\%\text{ of }X)\text{ = Salary after second year.} \\ \\ \text{ But we already know that the salary after second year is }1.28X \\ \text{ Thus, we can say:} \\ (X+y\%\text{ of }X)+y\%\text{ of }(X+y\%\text{ of }X)=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ Simplifying, we have:} \\ X+\frac{yX}{100}+\frac{y}{100}(X+\frac{yX}{100})=1.28X \\ \\ \text{ Divide through by }X \\ 1+\frac{y}{100}+\frac{y}{100}(1+\frac{y}{100})=1.28 \\ \\ \text{ Subtract 1 from both sides and expand the brackets} \\ \frac{y}{100}+\frac{y}{100}+(\frac{y}{100})^2=1.28-1=0.28 \\ \\ \frac{2y}{100}+(\frac{y}{100})^2=0.28 \\ \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by }100^2 \\ 200y+y^2=2800 \\ \\ \text{ Rewrite, we have:} \\ y^2+200y-2800=0 \\ \\ Solving\text{ the equation using the Quadratic formula, we have that:} \\ y=\frac{-200\pm\sqrt{200^2-4(-2800)}(1)}{2(1)} \\ \\ y=-213.137\text{ or }13.137 \\ \\ \text{ Since the change in salary is an increase, thus, the rate }y\text{ has to be positive.} \\ \text{ Thus, } \\ y=13.137\approx13.14\% \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

y = 13.14%

If you deposit $1000 in a savings account with an interest rate of r compounded annually, then the balance in the account after

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is as follows, B(c)=1000(1+r)^3. We are being asked to manipulate the equation and have it be r equals in order to solve for an interest rate when given a balance B. To solve the equation for the variable r, we must isolate r by completing order of operations or PEMDAS backwards.

SADMEP allows us to undo subtraction, addition, and etc in the correct order. We have no subtraction or addition outside of more complex operations. So we move to multiplication or division.

We divide both sides by 1000.

$\frac{B}{1000} =\frac{1000(1+r)^{3} }{1000}$
