Answer:
I am going to show you the first steps to complete squares for the given equation: 1) Starting equation: 3x^2 + 9x -4 = 0 2) Add 4 to both sides => 3x^2 + 9x - 4 + 4 = 4 => 3x^2 + 9x = 4 3) Extract common factor 3 in the left side => 3 (x^2 + 3x). Now, compare with a(x^2 + 3x) and you get a = 3. Answer: a = 3.
To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
Answer: the total amount that you can earn in 15 years is $737245. Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
You receive an annual salary of $32,900 and each year, you are assured of a 5.5% raise. Assuming there was no raise, you get 100% of your previous salary each year. With a raise of 5.5%, you will get 100 + 5.5 = 105.5% of your previous salary for each year. This is a geometric progression and we want to determine the sum of 15 terms(15 years).
The formula for the sum of terms in a geometric progression is
Sn = [a(r^n - 1)]/ r - 1
Sn = sum of n terms
a = the first term
n = number of terms
r = common ratio
From the information given,
a = 32900
n = 15
r = 105.5/100 = 1.055
S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1
S15 = [32900(2.23247649 - 1)] / 0.055
S15 = 32900 × 1.23247649) / 0.055
S15 = 737245.0277
S15 = $737245
Answer:
$2,000 or 6.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
1000 x 2 = 2000
28000 + 2000 = 30000 Juan's salary after 2 years
500 x 2 = 1000
31000 + 1000 = 32000 Mariana's salary after 2 years
30000 - 32000 = 2000 difference in salary
2000/32000 x 100= 6.25 difference in salary in percentage
Answer:
The factors of x^2+3x-4 are (x-1)(x+4) ....
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the factors of x^2+3x-4
As we know that this is a quadratic equation.
So we have to find the roots first.
The roots are -1 and 4.
Now completing the quadratic formula using the roots we have :
x^2+4x-x-4
Make a pair of first two terms and last two terms:
(x^2+4x)-(x+4)
Now take out the common from each pair:
x(x+4)-1(x+4)
(x-1)(x+4)
Thus the factors of x^2+3x-4 are (x-1)(x+4) ....
