To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

can be written as
, Replace u for x^2
So equation becomes

Now we factor the left hand side
-16 and -1 are the two factors whose product is +16 and sum is -17
(u-16) (u-1) = 0
u -16 = 0 so u=16
u-1 =0 so u=1
WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2
Now take square root on both sides , x= +4 and x=-4
Now take square root on both sides , x= +1 and x=-1
So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4
2z +7 = -5
2z = -5 -7
2z = -12
z= -12 /2
z= -6
Answer:
AED 15,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Depreciation is a reduction in the value or worth of an asset as a result of use.
Given that the car is depreciated by 20%, it means that the value of the car after the application of depreciation is the result of the original price of the car less the amount of depreciation which has been given as 20% of the original price.
Let the original price of the car (its price when it was new) be T then
T - 0.2T = 12,000
0.8T = 12,000
T = 12,000/0.8
= AED 15,000
27 vehicles
3/5 x 45
5 goes into 45 9 times, 9x3= 27, therefore there are 27 minivans
