Answer:

n= 11.65 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Present Value (PV)= $33,000

Future Value (FV)= $15,000

Decrease rate (d)= 7%

<u>To calculate the number of years it will take to reach $15,000; we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+d)  

n= ln(15,000/33,000) / ln(1.07)

n= 11.65 years

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need common denominator, which in this case is 40.

6*5 is 30 and 4*8 is 32.

We add these up 62/40

Now add the wholes, 5+4 is 9

We have an improper fraction, which will add 1 to 9, causing the answer to be C.

<u>Question:</u>

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0

<u>Answer:</u>

The number of real solutions for the equation x^{2}+5 x+7=0 is zero

<u>Solution:</u>

For a Quadratic Equation of form : a x^{2}+b x+c=0  ---- eqn 1

The solution is x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}  

Now , the given Quadratic Equation is x^{2}+5 x+7=0  ---- eqn 2

On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get

a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7

In x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a} , b^2 - 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation

Its value determines the nature of roots

Now, here are the rules with discriminants:

1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation

2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation

3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation

Now let solve for given equation

D= b^2 - 4ac\\\\D = 5^2 - 4(1)(7)\\\\D = 25 - 28 \\\\D = -3

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.

Triangle VXW is similar to triangle ZXY. Triangle V X W. Side V W is 12 miles and side V X is 14 miles. Triangle Z X Y. Side Y Z
amid [387]

Answer: Kara should have written the proportion in step 1 as;

Start Fraction 12 Over 72 End Fraction = Start Fraction 14 Over x End Fraction (that is 12/72 = 14/x)

Step-by-step explanation: The two similar triangles are given with the following dimensions;

Triangle VXW with side VW = 12 and side VX = 14. Also Triangle ZXY with side YZ = 72 and side XZ = x.

For two triangles to be similar, then there must be a similarity ration that is consistent with all sides in both triangles. This means if in the first triangle a side measures  1 unit and the similar side in the other triangle measures 5 units, then the ratio of similarity of corresponding sides shall be ratio 1 : 5. So for every corresponding side in the second triangle the measurement shall be times five of the side that corresponds in the first triangle.

Therefore, in triangle VXW and triangle ZXY, the corresponding sides are as follows;

VX = ZX

VW = ZY

XW = XY

What Kara did was as follows;

VX/ZY = VW/ZX

Which translates to 14/72 = 12/x

This was a wrong calculation because the side that corresponds to VX is ZX and not ZY.

The correct step should therefore have been;

VW/ZY = VX/ZX

12/72 = 14/x (Step 1)

12x = (72) (14) {Step 2}

x = 1008/12 (Step 3)

x = 84 (Step 4)
