Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - \frac{3}{4} = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}

Find the interest earned and the future value of an annuity with quarterly payments of $600 for 8 years into an account that pay
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

interest earned= 292.878

the future value of an annuity= 892.878

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Interest rate= 5%

time,t = 8 years

Quarterly payment, P= 600

n= 4 as quarterly

At the end of 8 years, final investment A= ?

As per the interest formula

A= P(1+r/n)^nt

= 600(1+0.05/4)^32

= 892.878

Interest earned = A-P

                          = 892.878-600

                          = 292.878 !

The sum<br> of three consecutive integers is - 126. What are the integers?
Leno4ka [110]
Let the three consecutive integers be x , x+1 ,x+2
Given, sum of three consecutive integers = -126
x +x+1+ x+2 = -126
3x +3 = -126
3x = -126 -3
3x = -129
x = -129/3
x = - 43
x +1 = -42
x +2 = -41
