Answer:

v = 1/(1+i)

PV(T) = x(v + v^2 + ... + v^n) = x(1 - v^n)/i = 493

PV(G) = 3x[v + v^2 + ... + v^(2n)] = 3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i = 2748

PV(G)/PV(T) = 2748/493

{3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i}/{x(1 - v^n)/i} = 2748/493

3[1-v^(2n)]/(1-v^n) = 2748/493

Since v^(2n) = (v^n)^2 then 1 - v^(2n) = (1 - v^n)(1 + v^n)

3(1 + v^n) = 2748/493

1 + v^n = 2748/1479

v^n = 1269/1479 ~ 0.858

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
sasho [114]

Answer:

2nd choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the options A-D to help you eliminate pretty quickly without actually graphing

So first chose says you have the graph on the left when x<1 But you should see our visual actually says we want to include what happens at 1 (the filled dot) so this isn't the answer

Second choice Possible

Third choice... I'm just going to look at one of the parts... x^2+4 for x<=1 says we should have part of a parabola to the left of x=1 (inclusive) but there is not parabola in our visual

Fourth choice: same reason as third choice

Answer is the 2nd

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
Marrrta [24]
Let's find the discriminant of <span>x^2+9x+14=0.  Here, a=1, b=9 and c=14.

The discriminant is b^2-4ac.  Substituting the above numeric values,
                                9^2-4(1)(14) = 81-56 = 25

The sqrt of 25 is 5.  Thus, your polynomial has two unequal, real roots.

Off the point example:  If the discriminant were zero, your poly would have two real, equal roots.</span>

Solve x^2 + x - 12 = 0
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

x₁ = -4

x₂ = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+ x + 12 = 0

x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)

x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2

x = {-1±√49} / 2

x = {-1±7} / 2

x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4

x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Check:

x₁

-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0

16 - 4 - 12 = 0

x₂

3² + 3 - 12 = 0

9 + 3 - 12 = 0
