8x^2 - 16x - 15 = 0

x = [ -(-16) +/- sqrt((-16)^2 - 4*8*-15) / ] 2*8

= 2.696, -0.696

Answer:

The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quadratic function f(x)=8x^2-16x-15

To find : What are the zeros of the quadratic function?

Solution :

Using quadratic formula of the general equation ax^2+bx+c=0 to get the roots is x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Comparing the given quadratic equation,

a = 8, b = -16  and  c = - 15.

Substitute the value in the formula,

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-(-16)\pm\sqrt{(-16)^2-4\times 8\times (-15)}}{2\times 8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{256+480}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{786}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm4\sqrt{46}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{46}}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{46}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}.

Therefore, The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

Please help in really stuck ​
sattari [20]

\int\limits {\pi y^2} \, dy

y = 2 + x^6

y - 2 = x^6

x = (y - 2)^1/6

\pi \int\limits^3_2 {(y - 2)^{1/6}} \, dx

Well, solving this integral

\pi \int\limits^3_2 {(y - 2)^{1/6}} \, dx = 2,69279

Chris and Becky are comparing mortgages. The mortgage is for $183,500. If they choose 30 years at 5%, their monthly payment will
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

For 30 years at 5% = $354,625.2

For 20 years at 4.5% = $278,618.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The total payback for each payment is given by the monthly payment multiplied by the total number of months for the payment period (years).

1) For 30 years at 5%

Total number of months in 30 years = 30 x 12 = 360 months

Payback = $985.07 x 360 = $354,625.2

2) For 20 years at 4.5%

Total number of months in 20 years = 20 x 12 = 240 months

Payback = $1160.91 x 240 = $278,618.4
