Answer:
Answer should be I 16-(-10) I = 26
But I guess it's the last choice you listed, I -10-16 I = 26

Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is ...
b^2 -4ac = (-4)^2 -4(2)(16) = 16 -128 = -112
A negative discriminant means there are no real solutions to the equation.
_____
The complex solutions are 1±i√7.
If we assume the equation has a typographical error and is intended to be ...
2x^2 -4x -16 = 0
The solutions are x = -2 and x = 4.
Answer: $9.91
Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.
You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.
