- AC is congruent to itself
- AC bisects angle BAD, so that angles BAC and DAC are congruent
- Both angles B and D are right angles, so they are congruent
This means triangles BAC and DAC are a pair of angle-angle-side triangles, so they are congruent to one another. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, so the line segments BC and DC are congruent and have the same length.
Then
Using an exponential function, it is found that it's annual growth rate is of 4%.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
An increasing exponential function is modeled by:
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the growth rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, the card appreciates exponentially in value by 50% over 10 years, hence:
A(10) = 1.5A(0).
Thus:
![\sqrt[10]{(1 + r)^{10}} = \sqrt[10]{1.5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B10%5D%7B%281%20%2B%20r%29%5E%7B10%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B10%5D%7B1.5%7D)
1 + r = 1.04.
r = 0.04.
0.04 x 100% = 4%.
It's annual growth rate is of 4%.

9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17
Let's find the difference between two consecutive terms
2.5 - 9 = -6.5
-4 - 2.5 = -6.5
-10.5 - (-4) = -6.5
-17 -(-10.5) = -6.5
We can see that the common difference is -6.5
-6.5 is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence 9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17
the common difference is negative because we subtract 6.5 to get the next term.
The answer should be 6 I.e 6^1 as with indices rules you need to subtract the powers (-3-(-4)) which equals 1
To mountains took 9 Hrs at x mph where x = No of miles to mountains
No of miles travelled = 9x
From mountains took 4 hours at (x+40) mph
No of miles travelled = 4(x+40)
Therefore 9x=4(x+40) thus 9x=4x+160 thus x=32 = distance Charmaine lives from the mountains
