Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ladder, wall, and ground form a right triangle, you can use this formula:
A squared + B squared = C squared
A = 7 feet
C = 25 feet
B = distance the ladder will reach
49 + B squared = 625
B squared = 625 - 49
B = square root of 576
B = 24 feet
point slope form is y=mx+ b
m is slope which is given as 1/2
replace x & y into the equation to solve for b
b = 6
so equation is y =1/2x+6
Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5
Answer: the value of her investment after 4 years is £8934.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining compound interest is expressed as
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years
r represents the interest rate.
n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.
P represents the principal or initial amount invested.
t represents the duration of the investment in years.
From the information given,
P = 8000
r = 2.8% = 2.8/100 = 0.028
n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.
t = 4 years
Therefore,
A = 8000(1+0.028/1)^1 × 4
A = 8000(1+0.028)^4
A = 8000(1.028)^4
A = £8934.3 to the the nearest penny
