Keeping in mind that 6 months is not even a year, since there are 12 months in a year, then 6 months is 6/12, or 1/2 a year, thus

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned}
\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$463\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$6000\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\
t=years\to &\frac{1}{2}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
463=(6000)(r)\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\implies \cfrac{463}{(6000)\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}=r\implies 0.154\approx r
\\\\\\
r\%\approx 100\cdot 0.154\implies r\approx \stackrel{\%}{15.4}

Solve X^2 + 5x + 6 = 0
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

x = -2 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x^2 + 5 x + 6 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

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

Split into two equations:

x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

Answer: x = -2 or x = -3

How to solve exponents:

Learn the correct words and vocabulary for exponent problems. When you have an exponent, like 2^{3}, you have two simple parts. The bottom number, here a 2, is the base. The number it is raised to, here a 3, is known as the exponent or power. If you are talking about 2^{3}, you would say it is "two to the third," "two to the third power," or "two raised to the third power."
If a number is raised to the second power, like 5^{2}, you can also say that the number is squared, such as "five squared."
If a number is raised to the third power, like 10^{3}, you can also say it is cubed, such as "ten cubed."
If a number has no exponent shown, like a simple 4, it is technically to the first power and can be rewritten as 4^{1}.
If the exponent is 0, and a "non-zero number" is raised to the "zero power", then the whole thing equals 1, such as 4^{0}=1 or even something like (3/8)^{0}=1
