What is a solution to (x 6)(x 2) = 60? x = −6 x = −4 x = 4 x = 12

2 answers:

6 0

(x+6)(x+2)=60
expand
x^2+6x+2x+12=60
x^2+8x+12=60
minus 60 both sides
x^2+8x-48=0
factor
what multiplies to -48 and adds to 8
-4 and 12
(x-4)(x+12)=0
set each to zero

x-4=0
x=4

x+12=0
x=-12

x=4 or -12

solutions are x=-12 and 4

kkurt [141]

1. You have the following information:

-The annual interest rate is 7.2%.
- The simple interest is calculated quarterly.

2. Then, to solve this exercise and calculate the periodic interest rate of Marta's Account, you only have to divide the annual interest rate (7.2%) by 1/4 year. So, you have:

=(7.2%)(1/4)
=(7.2%)/4
=1.8%

What is the periodic interest rate of Marta's Account?

The answer is: 1.8%

Determine whether the dilation from the figure on the left to the figure on the right is an enlargement or a reduction. Then fin

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are going from a large shape to a smaller shape. the proof is that the side lengths go down from 7m to 0.5m. so, it is a reduction.

and the scaling factor s ? what do we need to multiply the original side lengths with to get the new ones ?

7 × s = 0.5 = 1/2

s = (1/2)/7 = (1/2)/(7/1) = (1×1)/(2×7) = 1/14

=> answer A is correct

aksik [14]

Answer:

Lenght of a shadow is 96.6

Step-by-step explanation:

you may use right angle triangle to find distance if you know angle of elevation.

(a) adjacent (b) hypotenuse

we know that:

adjacent (a)=40

opposite (b)=?

tan ∅= opposite/adjacent

tan 67°=opposite/40

2.4142 * 40 = adjacent

adjacent =96.6
