Answer:

She should invest 6976.74 $ principal on daughter's 12th birthday.

Explanation:

  We have  I = prt, where I represents simple interest, p represents principal, r represents interest rate, and t represents time in years.

Here p + I = 12,000 $

   So, I = 12000-p

 Interest rate r = 12% =0.12

 Number of years = 18 - 12 = 6 years.

Substituting

   12000-p = p x 0.12 x 6

  p + 0.72 p = 12000

  1.72 p = 12000

   p = 6976.74 $

So, she should invest 6976.74 $ principal on daughter's 12th birthday.

Given: Circle X with a Radius r and circle Y with radius s Prove: Circle x is similar to circle y
lana [24]

Two figures are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.

This is always the case for circles, because their geometry is fixed, and you can't modify it in anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a circle anymore.

To be more precise, you only need two steps to prove that every two circles are similar:

  1. Translate one of the two circles so that they have the same center
  2. Scale the inner circle (for example) unit it has the same radius of the outer one. You can obviously shrink the outer one as well

Now the two circles have the same center and the same radius, and thus they are the same. We just proved that any two circles can be reduced to be the same circle using only translations and scaling, which generate similar shapes.

Recapping, we have:

  1. Start with circle X and radius r
  2. Translate it so that it has the same center as circle Y. This new circle, say X', is similar to the first one, because you only translated it.
  3. Scale the radius of circle X' until it becomes s. This new circle, say X'', is similar to X' because you only scaled it

So, we passed from X to X' to X'', and they are all similar to each other, and in the end we have X''=Y, which ends the proof.

The function f(x) = 1/2 x + 3/2 is used to complete this table.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

a) f(-1/2)  = -2 is NOT TRUE.

b)  f(0)  =3/2 is  TRUE.

c)   f(1)  = -1 is NOT TRUE.

d)   f(2)  = 1 is NOT TRUE.

e)   f(4)  = 7/2  is  TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function is  f(x) = (\frac{1}{2}) x+\frac{3}{2}

Now, checking for each values for the given function:

a) Putting x  = (-1/2):

 f(\frac{-1}{2} ) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{-1}{2} ) +\frac{3}{2}   = \frac{-1}{4}  + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{-1 + 6}{4}  = (\frac{5}{4} )

and (5/4) ≠  -2

Hence, f(-1/2)  = -2 is NOT TRUE.

b)Putting x  = 0 :

f(0) = (\frac{1}{2})(0 ) +\frac{3}{2} = (\frac{3}{2} )

Hence, f(0)  =3/2 is  TRUE.

c) Putting x  = 1:

f(1 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(1 ) +\frac{3}{2}   = \frac{1}{2}  + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{3 + 1}{2}  = (\frac{4}{2} )   = 2\implies 2   \neq -1

Hence, f(1)  = -1 is NOT TRUE.

d)Putting x  = 2:  

f(2 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(2 ) +\frac{3}{2}   = 1+ (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{2 + 3}{2}  = (\frac{5}{2} )

and (5/2) ≠  1

Hence, f(2)  = 1 is NOT TRUE.

e)Putting x  = 4:

 f(4 ) = (\frac{1}{2})(4 ) +\frac{3}{2}   = 2  + (\frac{3}{2} )\\\implies f(x) = \frac{4 + 3}{2}  = (\frac{7}{2} )

Hence, f(4)  = 7/2  is  TRUE.

Why is sin(20) = sin(160) = -sin(200) = -sin(340)?
AveGali [126]
Because they're all the same distance from the x axis on a coordinate plane. Also, remember that in quadrant I, all trig values are positive. In Q II, only sine and cosecant are positive. In Q III, only tangent and cotangent are positive. In Q IV, only cosine and secant are positive. Think of it as <u>A</u>ll <u>S</u>tudents <u>T</u>ake <u>C</u>alculus.

Carly tried to solve an equation step by step. 7a=28 Step 1: 7a/a = 28/7 Step 2: 7 = 4 Find Carly's mistake A: Step 1 B: Step 2
Murrr4er [49]

This are the right steps

Step 1: first you divide the both size by 7 because there is 7 a's

7a/7 = 28/7

Step 2: You solve the equation

7a/7= a. 28/7 = 4

So, the answer is a = 4

not 7 = 4
