See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
Answer:
Carla is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiple or divide a negative the sign changes, or flips the other side.
ex:-4x≥12
-4x/-4≥12/-4
x≤-3

Answer:
8,229,437 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the compound interest formula;
A = P(1+r)^n
Given
Principal invested = $37700
rate r = 5% = 0.05
Time t = 16years
Substitute into the formula
A = 37700(1+0.05)^16
A = 37700(1.05)^16
A = 37700(2.1829)
A = 82,294.37
Hence the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 16 years is 8,229,437 cents
Note that if
, then
, and so we can collapse the system of ODEs into a linear ODE:
which is a pretty standard linear ODE with constant coefficients. We have characteristic equation
so that the characteristic solution is
Now let's suppose the particular solution is
. Then
and so
Thus the general solution for
is
and you can find the solution
by simply differentiating
.
