3x² - 21
Factor 3 from both terms:
3 (x² - 7)
To me, that's as far as you should need to go. But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:
3 (x + √7) (x - √7)
Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:
3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)
but to me, this would be nonsense.

Fraction of girls = 1 - 3/7 = 4/7
4/7 is equivalent to 72 girls
1/7 .. .. ............. 72 / 4 = 18
Total number of children = 7/7 = 18*7 = 126 Answer
Answer:
17.5% per annum
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Money invested = $20,000 at the age of 20 years.
Money expected to be $500,000 at the age of 40.
Time = 40 - 20 = 20 years
<em>Interest is compounded annually.</em>
<u>To find:</u>
Rate of growth = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for compound interest.

Where A is the amount after T years compounding at a rate of R% per annum. P is the principal amount.
Here, We are given:
P = $20,000
A = $500,000
T = 20 years
R = ?
Putting all the values in the formula:
![500000 = 20000 \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{500000}{20000} =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow 25 =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt[20]{25} =1+\frac{R}{100}\\\Rightarrow 1.175 = 1+0.01R\\\Rightarrow R \approx17.5\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500000%20%3D%2020000%20%5Ctimes%20%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Cdfrac%7B500000%7D%7B20000%7D%20%3D%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%2025%20%3D%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%29%5E%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20%5Csqrt%5B20%5D%7B25%7D%20%3D1%2B%5Cfrac%7BR%7D%7B100%7D%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%201.175%20%3D%201%2B0.01R%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20R%20%5Capprox17.5%5C%25)
So, the correct answer is
<em>17.5% </em>per annum and compounding annually.
