Answer:

Approximately $594.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula: y = a(1 + r)^t
a is the initial amount
r is the percent of interest in decimal form
t is the time in years
y is the money after t years

Substitute the values given in the problem into the equation:
400(1+0.02)^20
Use a calculator or solve manually
Around 594.38

Diego's sister is twice his age minus 9 years. She is also as old as half the sum of the ages of Diego and both of his 12-year-o

slava [35]

Answer:

Diego is 14 years old.

Sister is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Diego's age

x + 24

2x-9 = 2

First to get rid of the fraction we multiply each side by 2

2(2x-9) = 2((x+24)/2)

4x-18 = x+24

The we isolate x

4x-18 = x+24

-x+18 -x+18

3x = 42 Now we divide each side 3

3 3

x = 14

So Diego is 14

Now we can solve for his sister. We can use one of the two equations from earlier to do this.

Plug 14 in for x and then solve for his sister

2(14)-9

28-9

His sister is 19

Without using a calculator, determine the number of real zeros of the function

kumpel [21]

The number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3

<h3>How to determine the number of real zeros?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

$f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6$

Expand the function

$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - x^2 + 6x - 5x - 6$

Reorder the terms

$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x - x^2 - 5x - 6$

Factor the expression

$f(x) = x(x^2 + 5x + 6) -1(x^2 + 5x + 6)$

Factor out x -1

$f(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 6)(x -1)$

Expand

$f(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x -1)$

Factorize

$f(x) = [x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)](x - 1)$

Factor out x + 2

$f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x- 1)$

The function has been completely factored and it has 3 linear factors

Hence, the number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3
