The two numbers that add up to get -1 and multiply to get -20 are -5 and 4
-5*4=-20
-5+4=-1
I hope this helps
First question:
interest rate is 5% annually. After 4 years relative value of interest will be 1.05^4
Now we multiply that with starting funds and get
4000* 1.05^4 = 4862.03
Second question:
Because interest is 8% semiannually that means that after 35 years relative value of interest will be 1.04^(35*2)
6000*1.04^70 = 93,429.71
Third question:
after first year tractor's value will be 0.86*15450. After 3 years its value will be:
(0.86)^3*15,450 = 9,827.07
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Answer:
There are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine
Not included in this total count of 195 countries are:
•Taiwan - the United Nations considers it represented by the People's Republic of China
•The Cook Islands and Niue, both states in free association with New Zealand which are members of several UN specialized agencies and have been recognized "full treaty-making capacity", but are neither member states nor non-member observer states.
•Dependencies (or dependent territories, dependent areas, dependencies) and Areas of Special Sovereignty (autonomous territories)
•Other countries recognized by the United Nations as not being self-governing
