use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round the nearest hundredth. 2a^2-30a+108=0

1 answer:

7 0

We know that

the formula to solve the quadratic equation is
x={-b(+/-)√[b²-4ac]}/2a

we have
2a²<span>-30a+108=0
where
a=2
b=-30
c=108

</span>x={30(+/-)√[30²-4*2*108]}/(2*2)
x={30(+/-)√[36]}/(4)
x={30(+/-)6}/(4)
x1=(30+6)/4----> 36/4----> 9
x2=(30-6)/4----> 24/4----> 6

the answer is
the values of a are
a1=9
a2=6

Answer:

1.17 dollars!

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation c=1.17s

To break it down, it means that the cost in dollars=1.17 times amount of songs.

Lets plug in 1 for s.

1.17*1=1.17!

For one song, it will cost 1.17 dollars !

solve the problem related to population growth.A city had a population of 23,900 in 2007 and a population of 25,100 in 2012.(a)

Finger [1]

Solution

To find the exponential growth function, we apply the exponential growth formula which is

$N(t)=a(1+k)^t$

Where

$\begin{gathered} a\text{ is the }initial\text{ population} \\ k\text{ is the growth rate} \\ t\text{ is the number of time intervals} \end{gathered}$

Given that

$\begin{gathered} a=23,900 \\ N(5)=25,100 \\ t=2012-2007=5 \end{gathered}$

Substitute the variables into the exponential growth formula

$\begin{gathered} 25100=23900(1+k)^5 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 23,900} \\ \frac{25100}{23900}=\frac{23900(1+k)^5}{23900} \\ 1.05021=(1+k)^5^{} \\ \sqrt[5]{1.05021}=1+k \\ 1.00984=1+k \\ \text{Collect like terms} \\ k=1.00984-1 \\ k=0.00984 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the exponential growth function is
