Jocelyn makes more than $195 but not over $645. The amount she has to pay is 15% of the excess of 196. Find this first via subtraction.
421 - 195 = $226 over
Take 15% of this
226 x .15 = $33.9
The tax also includes a $14.4 addition to this 15%.
33.9 + 14.4 = $48.3 total income tax
Zeneca did not follow the directions. In order to follow Caleb's directions, Zelda would need to bring in 6 hives for every 2 acres of peaches.
If there are 30 acres, this means he would 15 groups of 6 hives (90 hives). He only brought 10.
Please see picture for work.
We are given :

Step 1: factor the part inside square root
The function given inside square root is of quadratic form.
So let us try to factorise it using AC method.
Here A*C = 4*25 = 100
so we have to find factors of 100 that add up to give -20.
the two factors are -10 and -10.
Rewriting the function :

=
=
=
Step 2:
Now we take square root of the factorised form

=
