You can choose a couple of the x-values and plug each into all of the x's in each equation on the right. Then see which equations give the y-values equal to the y's adjacent to the 3 x-values you used. I chose x=-4 and x=8. Only the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th equations matched with both.
The height of broken part of tree from ground is 5.569m.
Justification:
Let BD is a tree of height 12 m.
<u>Suppose it got bent at a point C and let the part CD take the position CA, meeting the ground at A</u>.
i.e., CD = AC = h m
<u>Broken part makes 60° angle from ground</u>
So, ∠BAC = 60°
<u>Now, height of remaining part of tree</u> = (12 – h)m.
In right angled ∆ABC,
sin 60° = BC/AC
⇒ √3/2 = (12 - h)/h
⇒ √3h = 2(12 – h)
⇒ √3h = 24 – 2h
⇒ √3h + 2h = 24
⇒ h(√3 + 2) = 24
⇒ h(1.732 + 2) = 24
⇒ h(3.732) = 24
⇒ h = 24/3.732 = 6.4308 m
<u>Hence, height of broken tree from ground</u>
⇒ BC = 12 – h
⇒ 12 – 6.4308 = 5.569m
<u>Hence, tree is broken 5.569 m from ground</u>.
<u>Note</u>: See attached picture.
I think c would be the correct answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to figure out how much money was left in the account after the interest was withdrawn, we have to first find out how much money was initially deposited to earn that amount of interest! The means to find that initial investment is found in the simple interest formula
prt = I, where
p is the initial investement,
r is the interest rate in decimal form,
t is the time in years, and
I is the interest earned. Notice that we have all those things but the p.
Filling in:
p(.0425)(4) = 2380 and
.17p = 2380 so
p = 14000
That means that 14000 was initially invested. If the depositor withdrew the 2380, then
14000 - 2380 is the amount left in the account, namely, $11620
