I think it’s the second option
The solutions would be +0.37 and -0.37.
When completing the square, we take 1/2 of the value of b (in this case 5). 5/2=2.5. We then square this number: 2.5²=6.25. We add this value to both sides of the equation:
x²+5x+6.25 = 2+6.25
(x+2.5)² = 8.25
Take the square root of both sides:
√(x+2.5)² = √8.25
x + 2.5 = 2.87
Subtract 2.5 from both sides:"
x+2.5-2.5 = 2.87-2.5
x = 0.37
We have to take the positive and negative values for solutions, however, since a square root has both positive and negative answers.
The formula A=P(1+(r/n))^nt should be followed when answering
300=P
R=0.045
N=4
T=3
300(1+(0.045/4))^4x3
Answer is=343.102
If you want to multiply a decimal by a whole number, just ignore the decimal point and multiply like normal! Then, bring the decimal point back for the answer. for example 2×0.2
first multiply 2*2=4
and then place the decimal we have one value after decimal so the answer is 0.4
