Answer:
$178.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of a car is $20,000
The car loses 10.7% of its value yearly
Since there are 12 months in a year then 10.7% can be represented as
10.7%/12
= 0.8916%
Therefore the approximate monthly decrease in value can be calculated as follows
= $20,000×0.8916/100
= $20,000×0.008916
= $178.3
Hence the approximate monthly decrease in value is $178.3
Sorry I was moving around taking the picture and my handwriting is sloppy. But I hope you understand how I got the answer
Answer:
x = - 7, x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
x² + 8x + 7 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since
7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then
x² + 8x + 7 = 0
(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
