8. The initial value of an investment is $12,000. If the investment earns an annual interest rate of 2.2%, what is its value in 10 years? a. $14,917.30
b. $14,640.00
c. $14,627.93
d. $87,655.58

$14,917.30

Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: To calculate your interest rate, you need to know the interest formula I/Pt = r to get your rate. Here,

I = Interest amount paid in a specific time period (month, year etc.)

P = Principle amount (the money before interest)

t = Time period involved

r = Interest rate in decimal

Step 2: Once you put all the values required to calculate your interest rate, you will get your interest rate in decimal. Now, you need to convert the interest rate you got by multiplying it by 100. For example, a decimal like .11 will not help much while figuring out your interest rate. So, if you want to find your interest rate for .11, you have to multiply .11 with 100 (.11 x 100).

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
