Answer:

It will take 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the simple interest is I = Prt, where

P is the investment

r is the annual rate in decimal

t is the time

∵ The investment is $40000

∴ P = 40000

∵ The simple interest is $8000

∴ I = 8000

∵ The rate of interest is 5%

∴ r = 5%

→ Change it to decimal by divide it by 100

∴ r = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

→ Substitute them in the formula above

∵ 8000 = 40000 × 0.05 × t

∴ 8000 = 2000t

→ Divide both sides by 2000

∴ 4 = t

∵ t is the time of investment

∴ It will take 4 years

In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 79 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students

Yakvenalex [24]

In this situation, you have:
The mode is 79 (that’s the most common number).
The median is 78.5 (the middle value or the average of the two middle values, since there is an even number of test scores).
The mean is less than both of those, as it was brought down by the few scores of 49.

The means the mean will be less than median.

SinA=√1-x÷√1+X Find the value of cosA

Irina-Kira [14]

The value of cos A is √(1 + x²)/ (1 - x²) /√1 + x

<h3>Trigonometric ratios</h3>

It is important to note that

sin A = opposite/ hypotenuse

cos A = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Then,

opposite = $\sqrt{1} - x$
