Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Before we find x, we need to set up this triangle a little more. We need to find the triangle's altitude before we can solve for x. We will use the heartbeat method to find the altitude.
Let altitude = y; solve for y:




Now that we know the altitude, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (x).





Since c and x are the same; c is just the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem.

16 / 4 + 12 ___ 4 + 24/2
4 + 12 ___ 4 + 12
16 __ 16
u need an equal sign because 16 = 16
Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
So lets take our 50 dollars.
Next, take your increase of 5%. Remember, 5% is 0.05, and it is a increase of 5%, so we are multipling 50 by 1.05.
Before we start multiplying, lets recall that this occurs twice(2 years), but this doesnt mean we multiply 50 by 1.10. No, we just mutiply 50 by 1.05 2 times:
50*1.05
=
52.5
52.5*1.05
=
55.25
So your answer is 55 dollars(rounding down).
Hope this helps!
13: 72.25
14: 52
For 14, you need to split the figure into a triangle and rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A, Option 1 is a exponential function while option is a linear equation.
Part B, Let y=b*a^(x) be the function for option 1. At x=1, y=1100 and at x=2, y=1210. 1100=b*a and 1210=b*a^2. Dividing them both we get, b=1.1 and a=1000. y=1000*(1.1)^(x). For option 2, it's a linear equation with a function y(x)=1000+100x.
The 20 year difference would be immense. With option 1, Belinda will get $6727.5 whereas with option 2, they will end up with $3000
