The country A Consumer Price Index is approximated by the following formula, where t represents the number of years after 1990. A(t)=100e^0.021t For instance, since A(16) is about 140, the amount of goods that could be purchased for $100 in 1990 cost about $140 in 2006. Use the function to determine the year during which costs will be 70% higher than in 1990.

=

x=0.8898305 is the answer to that equation

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

explanation:

first, we will need to get the length of each line using the distance formula which is as follows:

distance = 

1- length of ab:

ab =   = 5 units

2- length of ac

length of ac is the same as ab = 5 units

3- length of bc:

bc =   =  √10  units

now, we can get the perimeter by adding the side lengths as follows:

perimeter = 5 + 5 +  √10

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

hope this : )

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
