Answer:

$3\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=8\ years\\ P=\$12,000\\I=\$2,880\\r=?$

substitute in the formula above

$2,880=12,000(8r)$

Solve for t

$2,880=96,000(r)$

$r=2,880/96,000$

$r=0.03$

Convert to percent form

$0.03*100=3\%$

part 3. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $\bold{9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad 10)\ \sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\qquad 11)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 12)\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , where "c" is the hypotenuse

$9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 12

$10)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{16}{20}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5}}$

Note: 12² + opposite² = 20² → opposite = 16

$11)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6² → adjacent = √11

$12)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{17}{13\sqrt2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}$

Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)² → adjacent = 17

A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

Add the two expressions. 4.6x−3 and −5.3x+9 Enter your answer, in simplified form, in the box. PLEASE ANSWER FAST THIS IS A BIG

Ivan

To add the two expressions, we can write it as:

4.6x-3 + (-5.3x+9)

We can distribute the plus sign (which means just drop the parenthesis in this case):

4.6x-3-5.3x+9

Now, we can simplify by combining like terms:

-0.7x+6

A football filters that is 60 m wide and 110 m long is being paved over to make a parking lot. The builder ordered 660,000,000 c

ad-work [718]

The answer is 10 cm

Imagine cement cover as a rectangle which volume is 660,000,000 cm3. So this rectangle has width (w = 60m), length (l = 110m), and height (h = ?). The height of the rectangle is actually a thickness of the cement layer. So, we will use the formula for the volume (V) of the rectangle to calculate the thickness:
V = w · l · h

It is given:
V = 660,000,000 cm³
w = 60 m = 60 · 100 cm = 6,000 cm
l = 110 m = 110 · 100 cm = 11,000 cm
h = ?

Using the formula: V = w · l · h
660,000,000 = 6,000 · 11,000 · h
660,000,000 = 66,000,000 · h
⇒ h = 660,000,000 ÷ 66,000,000 = 10 cm
