Using the three trigonometric functions can be used to calculate unknown side lengths and angle in a right-angle triangle only.
But, if ever you we're given to find a non right-angle triangle, you will have to use sine rule or cosine rule.
Answer:
ok if I did this right the answer should be 675. sorry if it's wrong. I hope it's right.
Since this is a problem in exponential growth/decay, y = ab^x is the formula that will be used to solve this problem.
The initial value, "a", is the value you start out with and in this case, it is $2000.
The growth/decay factor is what "b" represents, and it is 4%. We need to change the percentage into a decimal, so we will take the percent symbol, change it into a decimal, and move it two places to the left. This is make it 0.04. The problem also mentions interest, implying an exponential growth. Therefore, you will add 0.04 by 1: 1+0.04 = 1.04.
The "x" represents an amount of time. It is 5 years. The equation should be written like this:
y = 2000(1.04)^5
y = 2433.30. When rounded to the nearest dollar, it is $2433.
6.5 - 3 = 3.5
11 - 6.5 = 4.5
16.5 - 11 = 5.5
23 - 16.5 = 6.5
From this, you can see that the number being added is increasing by 1 each time.
Therefore, the pattern is adding 3.5, then 4.5, then 5.5, then 6.5, and so on.
