Mathematics

-115

Using the arithmetic formula, your equation appears as so:

an = 15 + (27 - 1) - 5

15 being the first number in the sequence, 27 being the number you're trying to find, and -5 being the common difference.

This will give you the answer of -115.

Hope this helps!

A person invests 9500 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 5.75% interest compounded quarterly. To the nearest tenth of a year, how
sweet [91]

Answer:

4.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Future value is the sum of amount invested and its compounded interest for a specific period of time and on a specific interest rate.

Investment = Present value = $9,500

Future value = $12,600

To find the numbers of years we will use following formula

Future value = Present value x ( 1 + r )^n

r = interest rate = 5.75%

n = number of periods = ?

Placing values in the formula

$12,600 = $9,500 x ( 1 + 5.75%/4 )^n

$12,600 / $9,500 = 1.014375^n

1.3263 = 1.014375^n

Log 1.3263 = n log 1.014375

n = Log 1.3263 / log 1.014375

n = 19.7856 Quarters

n = 4.9 years

Select the correct answer. Which transformation will always map a parallelogram onto itself? A. a 90° rotation about its center
prisoha [69]

Answer:

C. a 180° rotation about its center

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on rotation of an object about the origin through 180°

When a point B, (h,k) is rotated about the origin 0 through 180° both clockwise and anticlockwise directions , the new position is B'(-h,-k)

Example, if we have point K (5,8) rotated through 180°, clockwise or anti-clockwise about the origin the new position will be; K'(-5,-8)

The areas of the squares created by the side lengths of the triangle are shown. Which best explains whether this triangle is a r
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Based on the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, the triangle is not a right triangle, because 9+12\neq 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

If the length sides of a triangle, satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem, then is a right triangle

c^2=a^2+b^2

where

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

a and b are the legs

In this problem

The length sides squared of the triangle are equal to the areas of the squares

so

c^2=15\ in^2  

a^2=12\ in^2

b^2=9\ in^2

substitute

15=12+9

15=21 ----> is not true

so

The length sides not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

therefore

Based on the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, the triangle is not a right triangle, because 9+12\neq 15

Lines K and L are parallel,and the measure of angle ABC is 19 degrees
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

A. Because the measure of the angle BCD is 19 \° and the angles BCD  and ECF are Vertical angles. Therefore, they are congruent ( m\angle BCD=m\angle ECF =19\°)

B.  m\angle BCD=19\°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> <em><u>The missing figure is attached.</u></em></h3><h3 />

You can observe in the figure that the parallel lines k and l are intersected by a another line m (this is a transversal).

Let's begin with PART B:

Observe that the angles ABC and BCD are located inside the parallel lines and they alternate sides of the transversal. Therefore, we can determine that these angles are "Alternate Interior Angles".

Since the lines k and l are parallel, we know that the Alternate Interior Angles are congruent. Then:

m\angle ABC=m\angle BCD=19\°

Now we can solve the PART A.

Observe the figure.

Since the angle BCD  and the angle ECF share the same vertex, they are "Vertical angles" and, therefore, they are congruent:

m\angle BCD=m\angle ECF =19\°
