Solve the Quadratic Equation by factoring. 3r^2-16r-7=5

So first set one side to zero

subtract 5 from both sides
3r^2-16r-12=0
factor

to find the factor in
ax^2+bx+c form when a>1
multiply a and c together
find what 2 numbers add up to b and multiply to ac so

a=3
b=-16
c=-12

ac=3 times -12=-36
factors that add up to -16
2 and -18 is the answer since 2 times -18=-36 and 2-18=-16 so

split the middle number up
3r^2-16r-12=0
3r^2-18r+2r-12=0
group
(3r^2-18r)+(2r-12)=0
factor out common factors
(3r)(r-6)+(2)(r-6)=0
reverse distribute (ab+ac=a(b+c) so
(3r+2)(r-6)=0

set each to zero
r-6=0
add 6
r=6


3r+2=0
subtract 2
3r=-2
divide 3
r=-2/3


r=6 or -2/3

At the time of her grandson's birth, a grandmother deposits $12,000.00 in an account that pays 2% compound monthly. What will be that value of the account at the child's twenty-first birthday, assuming that no other deposits or withdrawls are made during the period.
---
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
---
A(21) = 12000(1+(0.02/12))^(12*21)
---
A(21) = 12000(1.5214)

A school district has a student population of $6,734 students. If the maximum class size is 25 students. How many more teacher m
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

53 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, what we need to do here is to find how many teachers there need to be, first. If there are 6,734 students in the school district and if maximum class size is 25, then the number of teachers needed is:

6,734 / 25 = 269.36

Of course, it's obvious that we can't have a decimal number of teachers, so we need to find integer (269 or 270).

If we take 269 teachers and 25 students per class, we get:

269 • 25 = 6,725 students, which is not enough, since there are 6,734 students.

That means that the number of teachers needed is 270.

It is given that there are already 217 teachers, meaning that 270-217=53 teachers have to be supplemented.
