Sounds like B to me because the problem has a solution! I would looooveee if you could head over an give me some help on my question?! thanks!
Okay so make a coordinate plane, insert the numbers in the right place, then count what’s in between, you got this, I’ll totally help you if you didn’t get it.
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.
let the two numbers be x and y.
Multiply to 44. x*y = 44 ..........(a)
Add up to 12. x + y = 12 .........(b)
From (b)
y = 12 - x .......(c)
Substitute (c) into (a)
x*y = 44
x*(12 - x) = 44
12x - x² = 44
-x² + 12x = 44
-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.
Multiply both sides by -1
-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0
x² - 12x + 44 = 0.
This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula
comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0, a = 1, b = -12, c = 44
x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a
x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)
x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2
√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2
Where i is a complex number. Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2 or (12 - √-32 )/ 2
x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2 (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2
x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2 12/2 - (4i√2)/2
x = 6 + 2i√2 or 6 - 2i√2
Recall equation (c):
y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2
When x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2
x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 6 - 2i√2
x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 6 + 2i√2
Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:
6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2
Answer:Positive

I just answerEd it
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an amount in the future of 750, we are going to use Future value formula; FV = PV (1+r)^t
where PV= Initial amount deposited
r= interest rate or discount rate
t = total duration of the investment
FV= 750
PV=500
r = 2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal
t = ?
Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;
750 = 500* (1+0.025)^t
divide both sides by 500;
750/500 = 1.025^t
Introduce <em>ln</em> on both sides
ln 1.5 = ln 
ln 1.5 = t ln 1.025
0.4054651 = 0.0246926 t
Divide both sides by 0.0246926 to solve for t;
0.4054651/0.0246926 = t
t = 16.42
Therefore it will take 16.42 years
