Mathematically it would be 8 since BE=CE and CE=4.
Answer:
At (-2,0) gradient is -4 ; At (2,0) gradient is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply need to take the derivative of the function and evaluate when y = 0 (when crossing the x-axis).
y = x^2 - 4
y' = 2x
The function y = x^2 - 4 cross the x-axis when:
y = x^2 - 4
0 = x^2 - 4
4 = x^2
2 +/- = x
Hence, this curve crosses the x-axis twice, once at (-2,0) and again at (2,0).
The gradient at these points are as follows:
y' = 2(-2) = -4
y' = 2(2) = 4
Cheers.
<span>The correct answer is D. The number 7 is subtracted from the first term, 2x/3, but then an equal sum is added, and the two effectively cancel each other out. This means that the value of the first expression is essentially 2x/3, which is option D.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If $10,000 is invested at an interest rate of 2% per year, compounded semiannually, find the value of the investment after the given number of years. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
a)6 years
b)12 years
c)18 years
***
compound interest formula: A=P(1+r/n)^nt, P=initial investment, r=interest rate, n=number of compounding periods per year, A=amt after t-years.
For given problem:
P=10000
r=.02
n=2
t=6, 12, 18
..
A(6)=10000(1+.02/2)^2*6
A(6)=10000(1.01)^12=11,268.25
A(12)=10000(1.01)^24=12,697.35
A(18)=10000(1.01)^36=14,307.69
