Answer:

A 26.56% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 12% increase corresponds to a total of 112% of the original amount.

Hence, a 13% increase of the 112% of the original amount would be equal to 1.12*1.13 = 1.2656, which equates to 126.56% of the original amount.

Hence, the single percentage change would be a 26.56% increase.

Hope this helped!

Barbara made a bad investment. Rather than earning interest, her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week! After just one w
pochemuha

Answer: She started with $160.

It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.

t represents the number of weeks.

P represents the initial value of the investment.

r represents rate of depreciation.

From the information given,

A = $142.40

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

t = 1

Therefore

142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1

142.40 = P(0.89)

P = 142.4/0.89

P = 160

For her to have half of what she invested originally, then

80 = 160(0.89)^t

80/160 = (0.89)^t

0.5 = (0.89)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89

- 0.3010 = - 0.051t

t = - 0.3010/- 0.051

t = 5.9

Approximately 6 weeks

(-2/3, sqrt5/3) is a point on a unit circle. Find the cosine, cosecant, and sine of the angle.
Nana76 [90]

Look at the picture.

\csc\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{y}{r}}=\dfrac{r}{y}

We have the right triangle x, y and r. From the Pythagorean theorem we have:

r^2=x^2+y^2\to r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

We have the point

\left(-\dfrac{2}{3};\ \dfrac{\sqrt5}{3}\right)

Substitute:

r=\sqrt{\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\sqrt5}{3}\right)^2}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{5}{9}}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{9}}\\\\r=1

\csc\theta=\dfrac{1}{\frac{\sqrt5}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt5}=\dfrac{3\cdot\sqrt5}{\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt5}=\boxed{\dfrac{3\sqrt5}{5}}
