Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let sum of zeros=s
and product of zeros=p
then quadratic equation is x²-sx+p=0
x²-(-1/2)x+(-3)=0
x²+1/2 x-3=0
2x²+x-6=0
You would have more than $102.
Earning 2% a year in interest would get you $2 in interest the very first year:
100(0.02) = 2
Adding this to the amount in the account, you would have 100+2 = 102 after the first year.
Answer is D. <em><u>288</u></em> . i am glad to help
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
