A triangle has an area of 9m2 and a base of 6m. how do I find the height of this triangle?

KonstantinChe [14]

You know the triangle has a base of 6 meters, and that the formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2bh or one-half of the base times the height. So, you would plug in 9 meters squared=one half of six times h, or 9m^2=1/2(6)*(h). In simplifying this, you would get 3h=9m^2. Divide both sides by three and get h=3. Hope this helps, and if you need any further explanations, please let me know!

Consider the function f(x)=x3+15x2+74x+120. If f(x)=0 for x=−6, for what other values of x is the function equal to 0? List the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

other x values are -5,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=0 for x=−6

Apply synthetic division to get the quotient . using that we find other two values of x

-6 1 15 74 120

0 -6 - 54 -120

-------------------------------------------------

1 9 20 0

the quotient is $x^2+9x+20=0$

now factor the left hand side, product is 20 and sum is 9

$x^2+9x+20=0\\(x+5)(x+4)=0\\x+5=0 , x=-5\\x+4=0, x=-4$

So other x values are -5,-4

5700 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 15% for 12 years

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$32,335.38

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.

$P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

<em>P = initial balance </em>

<em>r = interest rate </em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually </em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

Now lets plug in the values into the equation:

$5,700(1+\frac{.15}{2})^{12(2)}$ = 32,335.38

Your answer is $32,335.38
