To complete the square you halve the coefficient of the x term and square it. Half of 14 is 7 and 7² is 49. So we add 49 and subtract 49, which means we are not changing the value of the quadratic. So we have x²+14x+49-49+2. This can be written: (x²+14x+49)-49+2, which is (x+7)²-47, which is answer a.
Answer:
180 texts
Explanation:
mutiply 92 by 0.10 and you'll get 9.2
So each text costs 10 cents.
To find the zeroes you make the function equal to zero and then solve.
Then factor out the x to get a quadratic inside the parentheses.
Factor the inside quadratic formula.
Lastly, use the zero product property to solve.
Answer:
t =17 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for interest
A = P(1+ r/n)^ nt
where a is the amount in the account , p is the principal, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per year and t is the time in years
Substituting in what we know
690 = 460 ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t
690/460 = ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t
1.5 = ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t
Taking the log of each side
log(1.5) = 365t log( 1+ .024/365))
Dividing each side by( 1+ .024/365)
log(1.5)/ log( 1+ .024/365) = 365t
divide each side by 365
1/365 log(1.5)/ log( 1+ .024/365) =t
t =16.8949
To the nearest year
t =17
