Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x + 13 = - 8

To be able to factor the quadratic and go on to solve we require the equation to be in standard form, that is

ax² + bx + c = 0, thus

Add 8 to both sides ← first step, gives

x² + 2x + 21 = 0 ← in standard form

(1) The missing term in the sequence, a₁₂  = 0.8.

(2) The missing term in the sequence, a₈ = 102.5.

(3) The missing term in the sequence, a₈ = 111.

(4) The missing term in the sequence, a₁₂ = -19.

(5) The missing term in the sequence, a₁₂ = 94.

(6)  The missing term in the sequence, a₆ = 40.

(7)  The missing term in the sequence, a₃₆ = -52.

(8)  The missing term in the sequence, a₂₁ = -58.

<h3>Missing term of the sequence</h3>

The missing term in the sequence is determined as follows;

Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d

<h3>1.0 a₄ = 18.4 and a₅ = 16.2, a₁₂ = ?</h3>

T₄ = a + 3d

18.4 = a + 3d  ---(1)

T₅ = a + 4d

16.2 = a + 4d  ---(2)

subtract (1) from (2)

-2.2 = d

18.4 = a + 3(-2.2)

a = 25

a₁₂  = a + 11d

a₁₂  = 25 + 11(-2.2)

a₁₂  = 0.8

<h3>2.0 a₂ = 57.5 and a₅ = 80, a₈ = ?</h3>

a₂ = a + d

57.5 = a + d -- (1)

a₅ = a + 4d

80 = a + 4d  --- (2)

solve (1) and (2)

d = 7.5

a = 50

a₈ =  a + 7d

a₈ = 50 + 7(7.5)

a₈ = 102.5

<h3>3.0 a₁₀ = 141 and a₁₃ = 186, a₈ = ?</h3>

a₁₀ = a + 9d

141 = a + 9d --- (1)

a₁₃ = a + 12d

186 = a + 12d --- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

d = 15

a = 6

a₈ = a + 7d

a₈ = 6 + 7(15)

a₈ = 111

<h3>4.0 a₂₂ = -49 and a₂₅ = -58, a₁₂ = ?</h3>

a₂₂ = a + 21d

-49 = a + 21d ---- (1)

a₂₅ = a + 24d

-58 = a + 24d --- (2)

subtract (1) from (2)

d = -3

a = 14

a₁₂ = a + 11d

a₁₂ = 14 + 11(-3)

a₁₂ = -19

<h3>5.0 a₄ = -2 and a₈ = 46, a₁₂ = ?</h3>

a₄ = a + 3d

-2 = a + 3d --- (1)

a₈ = a + 7d

46 = a + 7d ---- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

d = 12

a = -38

a₁₂ = a + 11d

a₁₂ = -38 + 11(12)

a₁₂ = 94

<h3>6.0 a₉ = 64 and a₁₂ = 88, a₆ = ?</h3>

a₉ = a + 8d

64 = a + 8d --- (1)

a₁₂ = a + 11d

88 = a + 11d --- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

d = 8

a = 0

a₆ = a + 5d

a₆ = 0 + 5(8)

a₆ = 40

<h3>7.0 a₂₀ = -4 and a₂₃ = -13, a₃₆ = ?</h3>

a₂₀ = a + 19d

-4 = a + 19d ---- (1)

a₂₃ = a + 22d

-13 = a + 22d --- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

d = -3

a = 53

a₃₆ = a + 35d

a₃₆ = 53 + 35(-3)

a₃₆ = -52

<h3>8.0 a₂₈ = 5 and a₃₃ = 50, a₂₁ = ?</h3>

a₂₈ = a + 27d

5 = a + 27d ---- (1)

a₃₃ = a + 32d

50 = a + 32d --- (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

d = 9

a = -238

a₂₁ = a + 20d

a₂₁ = -238 + 20(9)

a₂₁ = -58

4. James and Terry open a savings account that has a 2.75% annual interest rate, compounded monthly. They
Zinaida [17]

$ 159,744.59 will be in the account after 20 years.

Answer: Option A

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Need to find out the amount present in the account after 20 years. The formula to find out the future value is,

          \text {Future value}=p \times\left(\frac{\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}-1}{\frac{r}{n}}\right)

Here  

p : amount deposit monthly =$500

r : rate of interest  = \frac{2.75}{100} = 0.0275

n : 12(compound monthly)

t : time =20

By substituting all the given datas in the above equation, we get

    \text { Future value }=500 \times\left(\frac{\left(1+\frac{0.0275}{12}\right)^{240}-1}{\frac{0.0275}{12}}\right)

    \text {Future value}=500 \times\left(\frac{(1+0.002291)^{240}-1}{0.002291}\right)=500 \times\left(\frac{(1.732)-1}{0.002291}\right)

   \text { Future value }=500 \times\left(\frac{0.732}{0.002291}\right)=500 \times 319.511=\$ 159,744.99
