Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is not the best, but I'll try my best here

Since BC is parallel to BE (BC is part of BE) and BA is part of BD, two sides are parallel, making two angles congruent and the triangles therefore similar.

Since BA correlates to BD (they are parallel), we can use the knowledge that BA is 7 and BD is 42 to find the scaling factor to be 42/7 =6 from ABC to DBE. Since BC correlates to BE, BC = 10, and the scaling factor is 6, BC*6=BE= 60 = height

The population of a town is increasing at a rate of 6.2% per year. The city council believes they will have to add another eleme

kow [346]

Answer:

The correct solution is "4.6".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Interest rate,

r = 6.2%

or,

= 0.062

Amount,

A = 100000

Principle,

P = 76000

As we know,

⇒ $A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^n$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $100000=76000(1+\frac{6.2}{100} )^n$

⇒ $(1+0.062)^n=\frac{100}{76}$

On taking log both sides, we get

⇒ $n \ log_e(1.062)=log_e(\frac{100}{76} )$

⇒ $n=\frac{ln(\frac{100}{76} )}{ln(1.062)}$

By putting the values of log, we get

⇒ $=4.5622$

or,

⇒ $=4.6$

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5

Oxana [17]

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5

2.5 <= x < = 4.5

We graph this inequality using number line.

Here x lies between 2.5 and 4.5

While graphing, we start with closed circle at 2.5 because we have equal symbol .

Then shade till 4.5. Use closed circle at 4.5.

The graph is attached below.
