Answer:
x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = -1 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^5 - 5 x^3 + 4 x = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with five terms:
x (x - 2) (x - 1) (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0
Split into five equations:
x - 2 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 or x - 1 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = -1 or x + 2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = -1 or x = -2
0 has multiplicity 1
-2 has multiplicity 3
4 has multiplicity 2
5 has multiplicity 4

Answer:
D. 4.5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest earned in 6 months = 572.6 - 560 = $12.60.
As a percentage this is (12.60 * 100) / 560
= $ 2.25%.
So the annual interest is 2 * 2.25
= 4.5%.
