Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is the quantity under the radical in the quadratic formula ...

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[tex]

When that quantity is positive, the square root is real, and the formula gives two real values for x.

Solve the equation by using quadratic formula . Show your work! Answer maybe in radical or decimal form .

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$x_1=\frac{-2+\sqrt{14}}{2}\approx 0.871,x_2=\frac{-2-\sqrt{14}}{2}\approx-2.871$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^2+4x-5=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+40}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{56}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm2\sqrt{14}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{14}}{2}$

$x_1=\frac{-2+\sqrt{14}}{2}\approx 0.871,x_2=\frac{-2-\sqrt{14}}{2}\approx-2.871$

Danny decided to invest his $500 tax refund rather than spending it. He found a bank that would pay him 4% interest, compounded

Blababa [14]

Present value, PV = $500
Future value, FV = 2*PV = 2*500 = $1,000
Rate, r = 4% = 0.04
Compounding times in a year, n = 4 (compounded quarterly)
Time, t = ??

The future value expression is stated as:
FV = PV (1+r/n)^nt

Substituting;
1000 = 500 (1+0.04/4)^4t
2 = (1.01)^4t
ln 2 = 4t ln 1.01
0.6931 = 4t* 0.00995
0.6931 = 0.0398t
t = 17.414 years

Time required for the amount to double is 17.41 years.
