Answer:
x= -8 , x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2+6x-80=0
x^2+3x-40=0
look for 2 numbers that their:
sum = 3
product = -40
(x+8)(x-5)=0
thus
x= -8 , x=5 (ANS)
64

Answer:
17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is ...
A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)
where P is the principal invested at annual rate r, compounded n times per year for t years.
Filling in the numbers and solving for t, we find ...
16826.03 = 8534(1 +.04/12)^(12t)
16826.03/8534 = 1.0033333...^(12t)
Taking logs, we have ...
log(16826.03/8534) = 12t·log(1.0333333...)
Dividing by the coefficient of t gives ...
log(16826.03/8534)/(12·log(301/300)) = t ≈ 17.000
It will take 17 years for the account balance to reach $16,826.03.
