Answer:

$\large {\textsf{A and C}}\ \implies x_1=-2,\ x_2=-\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we can use two methods to solve for the values of x (roots) of the given equation. Those methods are: using the quadratic formula and factoring.

Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0

Given equation: 2x² + 7x + 6 = 0

⇒ a = 2, b = 7, c = 6

Method 1: Using the Quadratic Formula

Quadratic Formula: $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Step 1: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula.

$\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2-4(2)(6)}}{2(2)}\\\\$

Step 2: Simplify

$\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{7^2}-4(2)(6)}}{\bold{2(2)}}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4\bold{(2)(6)}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{49\bold{-4(12)}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{49-48}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm\sqrt{\bold{1}}}{4}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{-7\pm1}{4}$

Step 3: Separate into two possible cases and solve for the values of x.

$\implies x_1=\dfrac{-7-1}{4}\implies \dfrac{-8}{4}\implies \boxed{-2}\\\\\implies x_2=\dfrac{-7+1}{4}\implies \dfrac{-6}{4}\implies\boxed{-\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Method 2: Solve by Factoring

In order to be able to solve this equation by factoring, let's rewrite the middle term by finding the factors that give a product of the first and last terms (a • c = 12) and give us the sum of the middle term (b = 7).

Factors that give a product of a • c: 4 • 3 = 12

Factors that give a sum of b: 4 + 3 = 7

Step 1: Rewrite the given equation with those factors.

2x² + 7x + 6 = 0

⇒ 2x² + 4x + 3x + 6 = 0

Step 2: Factor out 2x and 3.

(2x² + 4x) + (3x + 6) = 0

⇒ 2x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 [ Factor out the the common factor. ]

⇒ (2x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Step 3: Apply the Zero-Product Property (if m•n = 0, then m = 0 or n = 0).

a) 2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = -3 ⇒ x = -³⁄₂

b) x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2

Therefore, the two roots of this equation are x = -³⁄₂ and x = -2.

Answer:

x = -3/2, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 7x + 6 = 0

(2x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

(2x + 3)

2x = -3

x = -3/2

(x + 2)

x = -2

How much money should be deposited today in an account that earns 6% compounded monthly so that it will accumulate to $1000000 (

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The principal investment required to get a total amount of $ 1,000,000.00 from compound interest at a rate of 6% per year compounded 12 times per year over 45 years is $ 67,659.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Accrued Amount A = $1000000

Interest rate r = 6% = 0.06

Time period t = 45 years

Compounded monthly n = 12

To determine:

Principle amount P = ?

Using the formula

$A\:=\:P\left(1\:+\:\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

$P\:=\frac{A}{\left(1\:+\:\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}}$

substituting A = 1000000, r = 0.06, t = 45, and n = 12

$P\:=\frac{1000000}{\left(1\:+\:\frac{0.06}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 45}}\:$

$=\frac{1000000}{1.005^{540}}$

$P = 67659.17$ $

Therefore, the principal investment required to get a total amount of $ 1,000,000.00 from compound interest at a rate of 6% per year compounded 12 times per year over 45 years is $ 67,659.17.

An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 seconds to scan each item and 40 seconds to process the customer's payment. 1)

lina2011 [118]

The answers are 1) D. 43 items and 2) B. 58 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; An experienced cashier takes a time of 2 seconds per item and another 40 seconds for processing the customer's payment. So if it took 2 minutes 6 seconds which equals ( 2× 60 ) + 6 = 126 seconds for a customer. Out of these 126 seconds, the last 40 seconds were to process the customer's payment so 126 seconds - 40 seconds = 86 seconds. So it took 86 seconds to scan the items and as it takes 2 seconds per item we divide 86 by 2 to get the number of items. So 86 / 2 = 43 items which is option D.

Step 2; Anna brought 31 items and due to some glitch, the total time took 2 minutes. So for 31 items, it took the cashier 31 × 2 = 62 seconds, 1 minute 2 seconds. So out of the 2 minutes, 1 minute 2 seconds were used to scan the items. So the remaining time was 2 minutes (120 seconds) - 1 minute 2 seconds (62 seconds) = 58 seconds which was the processing time. So option B is the answer.

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points, then write the equation in slope-inte

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

(-3,5) (6,2) (Plug in these points into (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope)

2-5/6-(-3)

-3/9

-1/3 is the slope

y - y1 = m(x -x1) (this is point slope form)

y - 5 = -1/3 (x +3) (you plug in the x &y values from the first set of coordinates)

y -5 = -1/3x -1 (you get to slope intercept form by solving from point slope)

y = -1/3x +4 (this is slope intercept form)
