The correct answer is 
A) x^2 - 6x + 9

In fact, this is a trinomial of the form ax^2-bx+c, whose solutions are given by
x_{1,2}=  \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}
Using this formula for the trinomial of the problem, we find:
x1,2=  \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 9}}{2} =3
<span>we see that this trinomial has two coincident solutions (x=3 with multiplicity 2). This means that it can be rewritten as a perfect square, in the following form: 
</span>(x-3)^2<span>

Answer:

a. x2 – 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to try and factorize the options and the result should be two exact binomials. Remember that the formula for perfect square trinomial is:

a^{2} +2ab+b^{2} =(a+b)(a+b)

So we only have to factorize x2-6x+9=

As you can see, a is equal to X, and b equals 3:

(x-3)(x-3)=x2-6x+9

SO this is a perfect square trinomial.

You saved $20,000.00 and want to diversify your monies. You invest 45% in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35% APR compounded an
Maru [420]

Compound Interest

A total of $20,000 is invested in different assets.

45% is invested in a Treasury bond for 3 years at 4.35 APR compounded annually.

For this investment, the principal is P = 0.45*$20,000 = $9,000.

The compounding period is yearly, thus the interest rate is:

i = 4.35 / 100 = 0.0435

The duration (in periods) is n = 3

Calculate the final value with the formula:

M=P_{}(1+i)^n

Substituting:

\begin{gathered} M=\$9,000_{}(1+0.0435)^3 \\ M=\$9,000\cdot1.136259062875 \\ M=\$10,226.33 \end{gathered}

The second investment is a CD at 3.75% APR for 3 years compounded annually. The parameters for the calculations are as follows:

P = 15% of $20,000 = $3,000

i = 3.75 / 100 = 0.0375

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$3,000_{}(1+0.0375)^3 \\ M=\$3,000\cdot1.116771484375 \\ M=\$3,350.31 \end{gathered}

The third investment is in a stock plan. The initial value of the investment is

P = 20% of $20,000 = $4,000

By the end of the first year, the stock plan increased by 8%, thus its value is:

M1 = $4000 * 1.2 = $4,800

By the end of the second year, the stock plan decreased by 4$, thus the value is:

M2 = $4,800 * 0.96 = $4,608

Finally, the stock plan increases by 6%, resulting in a final balance of:

M3 = $4,608 * 1.06 = $4,884.48

Finally, the last investment is in a savings account at 2.90% APR compounded annually for 3 years (not mentioned, but assumed).

P = $20,000 - $9,000- $3,000 - $4,000 = $4,000

i = 2.90 / 100 = 0.029

n = 3

Calculating:

\begin{gathered} M=\$4,000_{}(1+0.029)^3 \\ M=\$4,000\cdot1.089547389 \\ M=\$4,358.19 \end{gathered}

To summarize, the final balances for each type of investment at the end of the third year are:

Investment 1; $10,226.33

Investment 2: $3,350.31

Investment 3: $4,884.48

Investment 4: $4,358.19

Total balance: $22,819.32

Solve the equation 4s2+32s=60 by completing the square
lord [1]

Answer:

s = -4 ± √31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 4s^{2} + 32s = 60

divide by 4 throughout

s^{2}  + 8s = 15\\s^{2} + 8s + (\frac{8}{2}) ^{2}  = 15 + (\frac{8}{2}) ^{2}

 (s + 4)^{2}  = 31\\s + 4 = \sqrt{31}

s = -4 ± √31

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Hi there!

6/15 is the probability that the marble is black!

Step-by-step explanation:

Oki, so lets's find the total number of marbles first!

8 + 6 + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15

And just turn it into a fraction!(very simple and easy)

6/15
