First, we can factor out a 2 from the equation:

2(x²-4x-12)=0

Divide by 2 to simplify

x²-4x-12=0

Now to factor, we must find what multiplies to -12, but adds to get -4. I can tell you know, the numbers are -6 and 2 (Through time you will learn to get faster with factoring)

Now we set it up as so:

(x-6)(x+2) = 0

Now to find the solutions, you must find how to get each set of parenthesis equal to 0.
x-6=0
x=6 is a solution

x+2=0
x=-2 is a solution as well.

So your answer is x=6 and -2 (Answer Choice C)

I Hope this Helps!

The function c = 100 + 0.30m represents the cost c (in dollars) of renting a car after driving m miles. What would the cost be t

aleksley [76]

Answer:

c = $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

c = 100 + 0.30m

Where,

c = cost of renting a car (in dollars)

m = number of miles driven (in miles)

If m = 100 miles

c = 100 + 0.30m

= 100 + 0.30(100)

= 100 + 30

= 130

c = $130

The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the fir

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

common difference is 0.5

first term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term of an ap Tn=a+(n-1)d

T12=10.5

T18=13.5

therefore come up with two equations

T12=a+(12-1)d

10.5=a+11d(1st equation)

T18=a+(18-1)d

13.5=a+17d(2nd equation)

then solve both as a simultaneous equation

a+11d=10.5

a+17d=13.5

-6d/-6=-3/-6

d=0.5

use one of the equations to find the first term

a+11(0.5)=10.5

a+5.5=10.5

a=10.5-5.5

a=5

Daniel Potter bought a new car for $20,000.00. Two years later, he wanted to sell it. He was offered $14,650.00 for it. If he so

olga_2 [115]

Answer: 13.375% per year

Explanation:

1) Depreciation is the loss of value: $ 20,000.00 - $ 14,650.00 = $ 5,350

2) The percent of depreciation is amount of the depreciation divided by the value of the car when purchased, times 100.

That is (5,350 / $ 20,000) * 100 = 26.75 %

2) The rate is percent of depreciation per year:

depreciation rate = % of depreciation / number of years = 26.75% / 2 = 13.375% per year.
