6x-x^2-8 \ \textgreater \ 0 \\
-x^2+6x-8\ \textgreater \ 0 \\
-x^2+2x+4x-8\ \textgreater \ 0 \\
-x(x-2)+4(x-2)\ \textgreater \ 0 \\
(-x+4)(x-2)\ \textgreater \ 0 \\ \\
\hbox{the zeros:} \\
(-x+4)(x-2)=0 \\
-x+4=0 \ \lor \ x-2=0 \\
x=4 \ \lor \ x=2

The coefficient of x is negative, so the parabola opens downwards. The values greater than 0 are between the zeros.
The solution set for the inequality is:
x \in (2,4)

The answer is B.

-x²+6x-8>0           a=-1 , b=6    , c=-8
Δ = b² - 4.a.c 
Δ = 6² - 4 . -1 . -8 
Δ = 36 - 32
Δ = 4

x = (-b +- √Δ) / 2a

x' = (-6 + √4) / 2(-1)        x'' = (-6 - √4)/ 2(-1)
x' = -4 / -2                     x'' = -8 / -2
x' = 2                            x'' = 4


2>x>4   ou   (2,4)

Lori buys a $672 certificate of deposit (CD) that earns 7.1% interest that compounds monthly. How much will the CD be worth in 1
MAVERICK [17]

The formula is

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

A future value ?

P present value 672

R interest rate 0.071

N compounded monthly 12

T time 14 years

A=672×(1+0.071÷12)^(12×14)

A=1,810.45

Hope it helps!

Solve the equation for y.Then find the value of y for the given value of x.<br>7x-xy=-18;x=-4.
guajiro [1.7K]
7x - xy = -18     x = -4
 
First, fill the -4 in where the "x's" are.

7<u>(-4)</u> - <u>(-4)</u>y = -18

Then, add the 28 over.

-28 + 4y = -18
<u>+28</u>           <u>+28

</u>4y = 10

Then, get the variable by itself, so you would divide the 4 over.

4y = 10
<u>÷4</u>    <u>÷4
</u>
<em><u>y = 2.5</u></em>
