Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

So here you're just completing the square. the equation you gave is simply: n^2+16n+c where c is the unknown value we're solving for. Whenever you complete the square, you add (b/2)^2

The reason for this, is because whenever you write a binomial as a perfect square it's in the form: (x+b)^2 and this binomial expands out to become: x^2+2bx+b^2

If we write the second term of the binomial as b/2 we get:

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=x^2+2(\frac{b}{2})x+(\frac{b}{2})^2

which simplifies to:

(x+\frac{b}{2})^2=x^2+bx+(\frac{b}{2})^2

and as you can see the last term is (b/2)^2, which is why we need to add that part for it to be a perfect square.

So we would need to add (16/2)^2 = 8^2 = 64

This way, we can express it as a perfect square binomial: (n+8)^2 which expands out to: n^2+2(8)(n)+8^2 = n^2+16n+64

A principal of $2600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 8 years?
almond37 [142]
To add 7.5% to a number you simply multiply the number by 1.075. To compound that amount year after year, you raise 1.075 to an exponent that corresponds to the number of years.  2600*(1.075^8)=<span>4637.04234646</span>
