You would square 3968 and subtract 1.
44 = 2^2 x 11
11+2= 13

(1 & 2/3) ft = (1 ft) + (2/3 ft)
(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 12*(2/3) inches
(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 8 inches
(1 & 2/3) ft = 20 inches
If the tree grows 5 inches per year, then it will take 4 years to get to 20 inches since 5*4 = 20. You can also divide to get 20/5 = 4.
So it takes 4 years for the tree to grow 1&2/3 feet tall.
The maturity value is 4827 and if needed interest value is 12.
The equation given in the question is
3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0
9x - 3 + 6 - 3x = 0
6x + 3 = 0
6x = - 3
x = - (3/6)
= - (1/2)
So the value of x as has been determined above is -1/2. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.<span>You can
