Answer:
- x = -1/2(1 +√21) ≈ -2.79129
- x = -1/2(1 -√21) ≈ 1.79129
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the middle term is supposed to be 4x.
We can remove a common factor of 4 to simplify this a bit.
x^2 +x -5 = 0
This is of the form
ax^2 +bx +c = 0
where a=1, b=1, c=-5.
__
The <em>quadratic formula</em> gives the solutions as ...

Filling in the given coefficients, we have ...
x = (-1 ±√(1^2 -4·1·(-5)))/(2·1)
x = (-1±√21)/2
The solutions are x = -1/2(1 +√21) and -1/2(1 -√21).
_____
<em>If what you wrote is what you intend</em>, then the equation simplifies to 4x^2 -16 = 0.
Dividing by 4 and factoring the difference of squares gives ...
x^2 -4 = 0
(x -2)(x +2) = 0
These factors are zero (hence their product is 0) for the values x = 2 and x = -2.
The solutions are x=2 and x=-2.
A. you plug in to a calculator, which will give 1840.986 so you need to round up to 1840.99. if you truncate it to .98 then he won't reach 2000 in 3 years
b. for this one if you look at the equation given to find the principle it is principle = result (1+rate) ^ -time
if you re arrange this you get result=principle (1+rate)^time
so result = 1840.99(1.028)^5
= 2113.57
Answer:
124 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
S.F. of 9/24 = 3/8
S.F. of 14/24 = 7/12
S.F. of 10/15 = 2/3
S.F. of 10/12 = 5/6
S.F. of 18/27 = 2/3
S.F. of 10/15 = 2/3
Hope this helps!
