6 0

Answer:

2 - 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer is in the problem:

2 less than = 2 minus a number ( 2- )

five times a number = 5x ( we don't know what number five is being multiplied by, so we put a variable)

If $5,000 is borrowed with an interest of 12.3% compounded semi-annually, what is the total amount of money needed to pay it bac
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

$7153.03

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount after 3 years, we can use the formula for compound tax:

P = Po * (1+r/n)^(t*n)

where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate, t is the amount of time and n depends on how the tax is compounded (in this case, it is semi-annually, so n = 2)

For our problem, we have that Po = 5000, r = 12.3% = 0.123, t = 3 years and n = 2, then we can calculate P:

P = 5000 * (1 + 0.123/2)^(3*2)

P = 5000 * (1 + 0.0615)^6

P = $7153.029

Rounding to the nearest cent, we have P = $7153.03

The triangles are similar. The area of the larger triangle is 567 cm². What is the area of the smaller triangle?
Ivanshal [37]
The answer is C. The scale factor of the smaller triangle to the larger triangle is 18:54, or 1:3. The ratio of their areas is the scale factor squared, 1:9. If the larger triangle had an area of 567, the smaller triangle is 1/9th of that. 567 divided by 9 is 63.

An 18-m tall tree is broken during a severe storm, as shown. The distance from the base of the trunk to the point where the tip
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The tree break at 5 m height above ground

Step-by-step explanation:

At x m height the tree break, the upper part 18-x m fell

(18 - x)² - x² = 12²

324 - 36x + x² - x² = 144

36x = 324 - 144 = 180

x = 5

Suppose, for each triangle in the diagram, the measurements that are labeled are known, while the other measurements are unknown
Hunter-Best [27]

<span>To use Law of Cosines, you need to know an angle and two sides. 
The simplest case is if you know two sides (a and b) and the included angle (C) 
c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos(C) 
cos(A) = (b² + c² − a²) / (2bc) 
cos(B) = (a² + c² − b²) / (2ac) 

You can also use Law of Cosines if you know 2 sides (b and c), and non-included angle (C). We use first equation above, solving for a. Since the equation is a quadratic (with respect to unknown variable a), it is simpler to use Law of Sines in this case. 

You can also use Law of Cosines if you know the 3 sides (a,b,c) 
cos(A) = (b² + c² − a²) / (2bc) 
cos(B) = (a² + c² − b²) / (2ac) 
cos(C) = (a² + b² − c²) / (2ab)</span>
