You can put this solution on YOUR website!

A=P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28n%2At%29 Start with the compound interest formula


A=800%281%2B0.032%2F1%29%5E%281%2A15%29 Plug in P=800, r=0.032 (the decimal equivalent of 3.2%), n=1 and t=15.


A=800%281%2B0.032%29%5E%281%2A15%29 Evaluate 0.032%2F1 to get 0.032


A=800%281.032%29%5E%281%2A15%29 Add 1 to 0.032 to get 1.032


A=800%281.032%29%5E%2815%29 Multiply 1 and 15 to get 15.


A=800%281.60396711263693%29 Evaluate %281.032%29%5E%2815%29 to get 1.60396711263693.


A=1283.17369010954 Multiply 800 and 1.60396711263693 to get 1283.17369010954.


A=1283.17 Round to the nearest hundredth (ie to the nearest penny).


So there will be $1283.17 in the account.

y = kx

-7 = k(-1)

-7/(-1) = k

7 = k

k = 7

So the equation is y = 7x

So when y = -84, then

y = 7x

-84 = 7x

-84/7 = x

-12 = x

x = - 12

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I = Prt

2520 = 9000r(4)

2520 = 9000*4r

2520 = 36000r

2520/36000 = r

0.07 = r

r = 0.07


So the interest rate is 7%

Answer 358097 by jim_thompson5910(28503) About Me  on 2011-12-22 13:08:44 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Looking at the expression x%5E2%2B36x%2B308, we can see that the first coefficient is 1, the second coefficient is 36, and the last term is 308.


Now multiply the first coefficient 1 by the last term 308 to get %281%29%28308%29=308.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to 308 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 36?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of 308 (the previous product).


Factors of 308:
1,2,4,7,11,14,22,28,44,77,154,308
-1,-2,-4,-7,-11,-14,-22,-28,-44,-77,-154,-308


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to 308.
1*308 = 308
2*154 = 308
4*77 = 308
7*44 = 308
11*28 = 308
14*22 = 308
(-1)*(-308) = 308
(-2)*(-154) = 308
(-4)*(-77) = 308
(-7)*(-44) = 308
(-11)*(-28) = 308
(-14)*(-22) = 308

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 36:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
13081+308=309
21542+154=156
4774+77=81
7447+44=51
112811+28=39
142214+22=36
-1-308-1+(-308)=-309
-2-154-2+(-154)=-156
-4-77-4+(-77)=-81
-7-44-7+(-44)=-51
-11-28-11+(-28)=-39
-14-22-14+(-22)=-36



From the table, we can see that the two numbers 14 and 22 add to 36 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers 14 and 22 both multiply to 308 and add to 36


Now replace the middle term 36x with 14x%2B22x. Remember, 14 and 22 add to 36. So this shows us that 14x%2B22x=36x.


x%5E2%2Bhighlight%2814x%2B22x%29%2B308 Replace the second term 36x with 14x%2B22x.


%28x%5E2%2B14x%29%2B%2822x%2B308%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


x%28x%2B14%29%2B%2822x%2B308%29 Factor out the GCF x from the first group.


x%28x%2B14%29%2B22%28x%2B14%29 Factor out 22 from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis.


%28x%2B22%29%28x%2B14%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term x%2B14


===============================================================


Answer:


So x%5E2%2B36x%2B308 factors to %28x%2B22%29%28x%2B14%29.


In other words, x%5E2%2B36x%2B308=%28x%2B22%29%28x%2B14%29.


Note: you can check the answer by expanding %28x%2B22%29%28x%2B14%29 to get x%5E2%2B36x%2B308 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming you have a triangle with legs of length 6 and 8.


We basically have this triangle set up:





To find the unknown length, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.


Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse.


Since the legs are 6 and 8 this means that a=6 and b=8


Also, since the hypotenuse is x, this means that c=x.


a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 Start with the Pythagorean theorem.


6%5E2%2B8%5E2=x%5E2 Plug in a=6, b=8, c=x


36%2B8%5E2=x%5E2 Square 6 to get 36.


36%2B64=x%5E2 Square 8 to get 64.


100=x%5E2 Combine like terms.


x%5E2=100 Rearrange the equation.


x=sqrt%28100%29 Take the square root of both sides. Note: only the positive square root is considered (since a negative length doesn't make sense).


x=10 Simplify the square root.


================================================================


Answer:


So the solution is x=10.


So the missing side is 10 units long.

f(x) = x^4-16


0 = x^4-16


x^4-16 = 0


(x^2-4)(x^2+4) = 0


(x-2)(x+2)(x^2+4) = 0


x-2=0, x+2=0, or x^2+4=0


x=2, x=-2, x=2i, or x=-2i


So the real roots are 2 and -2

Note: is the first point . So this means that x%5B1%5D=1 and y%5B1%5D=5.
Also, is the second point . So this means that x%5B2%5D=6 and y%5B2%5D=4.


m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula.


m=%284-5%29%2F%286-1%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=4, y%5B1%5D=5, x%5B2%5D=6, and x%5B1%5D=1

x%5E2%2Bx-110=0 Start with the given equation.


Notice that the quadratic x%5E2%2Bx-110 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=1, B=1, and C=-110


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%281%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%281%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-110%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in A=1, B=1, and C=-110

x+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+1%2B440+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%281--440%29 as sqrt%281%2B440%29


x+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Add 1 to 440 to get 441


x+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x+=+%28-1+%2B-+21%29%2F%282%29 Take the square root of 441 to get 21.


x+=+%28-1+%2B+21%29%2F%282%29 or x+=+%28-1+-+21%29%2F%282%29 Break up the expression.


x+=+%2820%29%2F%282%29 or x+=++%28-22%29%2F%282%29 Combine like terms.


x+=+10 or x+=+-11 Simplify.


So the solutions are x+=+10 or x+=+-11

4298.55=1987.22%281%2Br%2F12%29%5E%28180%29 Multiply 12 and 15 to get 180.


4298.55%2F1987.22=%281%2Br%2F12%29%5E%28180%29 Divide both sides by 1987.22.


2.16309719105081=%281%2Br%2F12%29%5E%28180%29 Evaluate 4298.55%2F1987.22 to get 2.16309719105081.

Start with the given system of equations:
system%2810x%2B15y=20%2C-9x-15y=-21%29


Add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%2810x%2B15y%29%2B%28-9x-15y%29=%2820%29%2B%28-21%29


%2810x%2B-9x%29%2B%2815y%2B-15y%29=20%2B-21 Group like terms.


x%2B0y=-1 Combine like terms.


x=-1 Simplify.


------------------------------------------------------------------


10x%2B15y=20 Now go back to the first equation.


10%28-1%29%2B15y=20 Plug in x=-1.


-10%2B15y=20 Multiply.


15y=20%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


15y=30 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2830%29%2F%2815%29 Divide both sides by 15 to isolate y.


y=2 Reduce.


So the solutions are x=-1 and y=2.
