Explanation:

All of these are done the same way.

1. Set your compass to a distance slightly longer than the distance from the point to the line you want the perpendicular to.

2. Using the point as a center, draw an arc that intersects the line in 2 places. Consider those points to be "P" and "Q".

3. You can leave the compass as is, or set it to any other distance longer than half the distance between P and Q. Using this radius, and using P and Q as centers, draw intersecting arcs on the other side of the line from the original point. Consider the intersection of those arcs to be point "R".

4. A line through the original point and point R will be perpendicular to the line, as you want.

_____

In problem 1, the point and line are obvious.

In problem 2, the point is the vertex opposite the line of interest. (There will be 3 similar constructions.)

Kristen invests $5,745 in a bank. The bank pays 6.5% interest compounded monthly. How long must she leave the money in the bank

s344n2d4d5 [400]

formula is $A=P(1-\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=interest rate in decimal

n=number of times per year it is compounded

t=time in years

we want to find where

A=2P

and P=5745

and r=6.5%=0.065

n=monthly=12

remember that $ln(x^a)=a(ln(x))$

also that $(a^b)^c=a^{bc}$

$2(5745)=5745(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}$ , solving for t

divide both sides by 5745 to simplify things a bit

$2=(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}$ I'd rather not simplify this because it give us a decimals and those aren't exact, if we combine, we get 12.065/12 for inside parenthases

$2=(\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t}$

take ln of both sides

$ln(2)=ln((\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t})$

$ln(2)=(12t)ln(\frac{12.065}{12})$

divide both sides by $12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})$

$\frac{ln(2)}{12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})}=t$

using our calculator, t≈10.6927

so rounded, we get 10.7 years

Which division expression is equivalent to 4 1/3 ÷ -5/6

$4\dfrac{1}{3}\div\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:}\\\\4\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{4\cdot3+1}{3}=\dfrac{12+1}{3}=\dfrac{13}{3}\\\\(*)=\dfrac{13}{3}\div\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)\\\\\text{By dividing by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal.}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{3}\cdot\left(-\dfrac{6}{5}\right)\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot\left(-\dfrac{6\!\!\!\!\diagup^2}{5}\right)=-\dfrac{13\cdot2}{1\cdot5}=-\dfrac{26}{5}=-\dfrac{25+1}{5}=-5\dfrac{1}{5}$
