Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x² - 3x - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 9 × - 2 = - 18 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 6 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

9x² - 6x + 3x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(3x - 2) + 1(3x - 2) ← factor out (3x - 2) from each term

(3x - 2)(3x + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x = \frac{2}{3}

3x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{3}

James invested $4,000 at 5% interest per year; how long will it take him to earn $200 in simple interest?
tester [92]

Answer:

It takes 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply simple interest formula, I = (P×R×T)/100 where I represent interest amount, P is principle, R is interest rate and T is number of years :

I =  \frac{PRT}{100}

200 =  \frac{4000 \times 5 \times T}{100}

20000 = 20000T

T = 1
