- Multiply (-2x-4) by -5:
[(-5)(-2x) + (-5)(-4)] +5x - 4 = -29
= 10x+20+5x-4=-29
- Combine Like Terms:
(10x+5x) + (20-4) = -29
15x+16=-29
- Subtract 16 from each side
15x+16 -16 = -29 -16
15x = -45
x = -3
Midpoint formula = (-9 + 6) / 2 = -3/2
Apparently, the calculator at the link in your lesson is fully capable of giving you the necessary numbers. My own TI-84 work-alike gives me the account balances, but the rest of the numbers need to be figured.
In 30 years, there are 12×30 = 360 months, or 4×30 = 120 quarters. See the calculator results below. Your table can be filled in using the given information to find the contribution amount. The calculator gives the final balance. The interest amount is found by subtracting the contribution amount from the final balance.
To determine or predict the expected number of sales after 2 years, we substitute 2 to the t of the givne equation.
N = (8800)xln(7(2) + 9)
N = 27,592.34
Thus, it is expected that the number of sales after 2 years is 27,592 units.
