    You did not state a question, but I assume you want to find the amount. you have P = 3000 i = .065 t = ???? (you did not give me that) so just replace the t in amount = 3000(1.065)^t , evaluate and you are done.

    When s = 0 , we get the point (2,9) when t=3, we get the point (0,8) Using your intersection point that you already found, find the lengths of the 3 line segments using the "distance between two points" formula. To find the area, use Heron's Formula, which says ...

    Did you make your sketch? It should show an angle of 108° between XY and YZ by the cosine law: XZ^2 = 115^2 + 75^2 - 2(115)(75)cos 108° XZ = ..... or vector XY = 115(cos42, sin42) = (85.46165... , 76.95...) vector YZ = 75(cos-30 , sin -30) = (64.9519.. , -37.5) XZ = (...

    It is C(52,5), trust us another approach: suppose you had to pick them in a specific order, then the number of ways would be 52x51x50x49x48 which is the same as 52! / 47! or P(52,5) But the order does not matter, as you said, so we have to divide by 5! the number of ...

    Here is how I do these: sin^-1 (.65) I know from CAST that the sine is positive in quadrants I and II so 2ndF sin .65 gave me .70758... That is my quad I angle, so ? - .70758 or 2.434 would be the quadrant II angle of course adding/subtracting 2? will yield other answers: my ...

    Notice that at the intersection of the two curves, x = ?/3 and we have symmetry, so we can take the area from 0 to ?/3, then double area = 2? (8cosx - sec^2 x) dx from 0 to ?/3 = 2[8sinx - tanx] from 0 to ?/3 = 2(8sin ?/3 - tan ?/3 - (8sin 0 - tan 0 ) = ...... your turn

    The simplest ratio of sides of a right-angled triangle is the 3:4:5 ratio so we have 9:x:y, clearly x = 12, and y = 15 check: 9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2 , YES
