1.) RS ⊥ ST, RS ⊥ SQ, ∠STR ≅ ∠SQR | Given
2.) RS≅RS | Reflexive Property
3.) △RST ≅ △RSQ | AAS Triangle Congruence Property
(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30
It applies because interest slowly increases the amount of money gained. IF you have any Tolkien related questions, feel free to ask me
<span>It is false since the rational function is discontinuous when the denominator is zero. But the denominator is a polynomial and a polynomial has only finitely many zeros. So the discontinuity points of a rational function is finite. </span>
