Visualizing the scenario is advantageous; creating a diagram would show a right triangle where the base measures 100 ft and the height is 25 ft. We can easily determine the angle using trigonometric functions as follows:

tan(theta) = 25 / 100
theta = 14.04 degrees

How much money, as a one-time deposit, PV, would you need to deposit into an account that earns 1.5% compounded monthly to earn
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

To accumulate $7,500 in three years, the required one-time deposit is $4388.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic Financial Formulas

A commonly used formula for calculating present and future values is

FV=PV(1+r)^{n}

Where FV represents the future value, PV denotes the present value, r signifies the interest rate, and n indicates the number of compounding periods. It’s essential to remember that r and n must correspond to the same compounding duration, e.g. r is compounded monthly while n is expressed in months.

The inquiry seeks to determine the PV necessary as a one-time deposit to achieve a future value of $7,500 in 3 years at an interest rate of 1.5% compounded monthly.

FV=7,500

r=1.5%=0.015

n=3*12=36 months

We have changed n to months since r is monthly compounded. The equation

FV=PV(1+r)^{n}

must be arranged to isolate PV.

PV=FV(1+r)^{-n}

PV=7,500(1+0.015)^{-36}

PV=\$4388.17

Response

: The amount necessary as a one-time deposit to accrue $7,500 in three years is $4388.17[[TAG_54]]

A college football coach has decided to recruit only the heaviest 15% of high school football players. He knows that high school
Inessa [12570]

Response:

The coach should begin seeking players who weigh at least 269.55 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these details from the question:

Average, μ = 225 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 43 pounds

The weights follow a bell curve, indicating a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We need to establish the value of x that corresponds to a probability of 0.15

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.15

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.15

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.85

Review from the standard normal z table gives us:

P(z < 1.036) = 0.85

\displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43} = 1.036\\\\x = 269.548 \approx 269.55

Consequently, the coach should start recruiting players weighing at least 269.55 pounds.

If only two points are needed to determine a​ line, why are three ordered pair solutions or points found for a linear​ equation?
zzz [12365]

To plot the graph of a linear equation, two points suffice to create a line.

Nevertheless, errors can occur; thus, when the line is drawn, it may seem accurate. Two points will always define a line, regardless of the correctness of those points.

To confirm that the points are accurate, we find a third point to verify that the two previously calculated points are correct and that all points align on the same line. If they don’t, an error has been made.

Option A) is the correct choice

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 40
lawyer [12517]

Response:

0.14 s

Detailed breakdown:

s = -2.7 t² + 40t + 6.5

Set s = 12

12 = -2.7t² + 40t + 6.5     Rearranging yields

-2.7t² + 40t + 6.5 - 12 = 0

      -2.7t² + 40t - 5.5 = 0

Utilize the quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

a = -2.7; b = 40; c = -5.5

x = \frac{-40\pm\sqrt{40^2 - 4\times (-2.7) \times (-5.5)}} {2(-2.7)}

x = \frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1600-59.4}}{-5.4}

x = \frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1540.6}}{-5.4}

x = \frac{-40\pm 39.25}{-5.4}

x = 7.41 ± 7.27

x₁ = 0.14; x₂ = 14.68

The graph indicates roots at x₁ = 0.134 and x₂ = 14.68.

The surface of the Moon stands at -12 ft. Thus, the ball will reach a height of 12 ft above the Moon’s surface (crossing the x-axis) at 0.14 s.

The second root indicates when the ball is again 12 ft above the lunar surface as it descends.
