Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.

Mathematics
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.

Sally invests £8000 in a savings account. The account pays 2.8% compound interest per year work out the value of her investment
Alborosie

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
