we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

the answer is $23.63

the exponential expression to find the value of the cd, in dollars, after t years will be:  

step-by-step explanation:

formula of compound interest:   , where final value after years,   initial value, rate of interest in decimal and number of compounding in a year.

oliver plans to purchase a $1,500 certificate of deposit (cd) at his bank. that means,  

the cd will earn 2.3% interest, compounded semi-annually.

so,   and  

now, plugging these values into the above formula, we will

(rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth)

so, the exponential expression to find the value of the cd, in dollars, after t years will be:
