Answer:

C. 185 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The work is in the attached picture file, if you need it. Basically the question sets up a right triangle, for which the base is 200 and the height is the goal that you are solving for. It is given that the angle between hypotenuse and base is 42 degrees. For this you use tangent to say that

tan(42) = h / 200

200 tan (42) = h

h = 180 feet.

But then you must remember that this triangle starts 5 feet off of the ground. So you add the 5 feet and get 185 feet as the height of the tower.

The following table shows the estimated populations and annual growth rates for four countries in the year 2000. Find the

gladu [14]

Answer:

Part 1) Australia $19,751,012\ people$

Part 2) China $1,319,645,764\ people$

Part 3) Mexico $109,712,539\ people$

Part 4) Zaire $60,534,681\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

$P(t)=a(1+r)^t$

where

P(t) is the population

t is the number of years since year 2000

a is he initial value

r is the rate of change

Part 1) Australia

we have

$a=19,169,000\\r=0.6\%=0.6\100=0.006$

substitute

$P(t)=19,169,000(1+0.006)^t$

$P(t)=19,169,000(1.006)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=19,169,000(1.006)^5=19,751,012\ people$

Part 2) China

we have

$a=1,261,832,000\\r=0.9\%=0.9\100=0.009$

substitute

$P(t)=1,261,832,000(1+0.009)^t$

$P(t)=1,261,832,000(1.009)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=1,261,832,000(1.009)^5=1,319,645,764\ people$

Part 3) Mexico

we have

$a=100,350,000\\r=1.8\%=1.8\100=0.018$

substitute

$P(t)=100,350,000(1+0.018)^t$

$P(t)=100,350,000(1.018)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=100,350,000(1.018)^5=109,712,539\ people$

Part 4) Zaire

we have

$a=51,965,000\\r=3.1\%=3.1\100=0.031$

substitute

$P(t)=51,965,000(1+0.031)^t$

$P(t)=51,965,000(1.031)^t$

Find the expected population in 2025,

Find the value of t

t=2005-2000=5 years

substitute the value of t in the equation

$P(5)=51,965,000(1.031)^5=60,534,681\ people$

What is the VERTEX of the quadratic y = 2

RSB [31]

Answer:

The vertex is ( -4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a parabola can be written as

y = a( x-h)^2 +k where ( h,k) is the vertex

y = 2 (x + 4)² + 1

Rewriting

y = 2 (x - -4)² + 1

The vertex is ( -4,1)

On August 1, 2021, a company accepts an $8,000, 9-month note receivable. For 2021, the company reports interest revenue of $200.

erastova [34]

Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the interest rate in the note, we must follow the following steps, calculate the amount of time remaining from the year 2021, as follows:

interest is for 5 months i.e. from Aug 01 to Dec 31 for year 2021 , so it means it would be 5/12 months.

We have to calculate the interest as follows:

I = P * R * T

We replace:

200 = 8000 * R * 5/12

we solve for R

200 * 12/5 = 8000 * R

R * 8000 = 480

R = 480/8000

R = 0.06

Which means that the interest rate on the note is 6%
