Answer:

Elizabeth earns $ 154.86 due to interests from the beginning to the fourth year and $ 62.75 due to interest only in the fourth year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth deposits each year the same amount, which becomes greater due to composite interest. From statement, we notice the following formulas of recurrence:

Initial amount (t = 0)

C = C_{o} (1)

First year (t = 1)

C_{1} = C_{o}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o} (2)

Second year (t = 2)

C_{2} = C_{1}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o} (3)

Third year (t = 3)

C_{3} = C_{2}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o} (4)

Fourth year (t = 4)

C_{4} = C_{2}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o} (5)

Where:

C_{o} - Initial amount of Elizabeth's account, measured in US dollars.

r - Interest rate ratio, dimensionless.

If we know that r = 0.02 and C_{o} = \$\,750, then the interest earned by Elizabeth in the 4th year is:

First year

C_{r,1} = r\cdot C_{o} (6)

C_{r,1} = (0.02)\cdot (\$\,750)

C_{r,1} = \$\,15

Second year

C_{1} = C_{o}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o}

C_{r,2} = r\cdot C_{1} (7)

C_{1} = (\$\,750)\cdot (1+0.02)+\$\,750

C_{1} = \$ 1515

C_{r,2} = (0.02)\cdot (\$\,1515)

C_{r,2} = \$\,30.3

Third year

C_{2} = C_{1}\cdot (1+r)+C_{o}

C_{r,3} = r\cdot C_{2} (8)

C_{2} = (\$\,1515)\cdot (1+0.02)+\$\,750

C_{2} = \$\,2340.75

C_{r,3} = (0.02)\cdot (\$\,2340.75)

C_{r,3} = \$\,46.81

Fourth year

C_{3} = C_{2}\cdot (1+r) +C_{o}

C_{r,4} = r\cdot C_{3} (9)

C_{3} = (\$\,2340.75)\cdot (1+0.02)+\$\,750

C_{3} = \$\,3137.56

C_{r,4} = (0.02)\cdot (\$\,3137.56)

C_{r,4} = \$\,62.75

The money gained due to interest is determined by the following sum, that is:

C_{r} = C_{r,1}+C_{r,2}+C_{r,3}+C_{r,4}

C_{r} = \$\,15+\$\,30.30+\$\,46.81+\$\,62.75

C_{r} = \$\,154.86

Elizabeth earns $ 154.86 due to interests from the beginning to the fourth year and $ 62.75 due to interest only in the fourth year.

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter for triangle DEF with coordinates D(1,3) E(8,3) and F(1,-5) show your work
nikklg [1K]

One leg is horizontal, on the line y=3. Another leg is vertical, on the line x=1. The point where these intersect, D(1, 3) is the vertex of a right angle. Any right triangle inscribed in a circle has its hypotenuse as the diameter of the circle.

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse: ((8, 3) + (1, -5))/2 = (4.5, -1).

Match these similar triangles proof<br>​

Answer:

B

C

F

D

H

A

G

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. They are trying to reconstruct the smaller looking triangle in the bigger triangle using angle A as the common angle.

The first statement is always the given.

Second they constructed line segment XY into the bigger triangle so that XY is parallel to BC.

Third, from the construction of the parallel lines we can now find corresponding angles that are congruent. This would be the use of F.

Since we have all three angles in triangle AXY and triangle ABC, then the construction of the smaller triangle we made inside the bigger triangle is similar to the bigger triangle. So we have the triangles are similar. You could say E or D here in my opinion. This is choice D.

Fifth the creation of those fractions of sides being equal comes from us knowing the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. This is choice H.

Things looked cut off for the sixth thing so I can't fully read it, but it is possible a substitution has occured.

The seventh thing is a congruence statement which can be proven by a congruence postulate. The only one listed is SAS. So that is G.

The last thing, since the triangle construction is congruent to the smaller triangle then we know the smaller triangle is also similar to the bigger triangle since the bigger one is also similar to the construction we made. I really think E and D is interchangeable. Choice E goes here.
