So hmm the first term is -2
and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"
so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4
thus
20 000 * 0.08(8%)= 1600
1600 * 20(years) = 32 000
Therefore you would have $32 000 after 20 years
Answer:
(3x+4)(5x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
15x^2
+41x+28
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 15x^2
+ax+bx+28. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=41
ab=15×28=420
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 420.
1,420
2,210
3,140
4,105
5,84
6,70
7,60
10,42
12,35
14,30
15,28
20,21
Calculate the sum for each pair.
1+420=421
2+210=212
3+140=143
4+105=109
5+84=89
6+70=76
7+60=67
10+42=52
12+35=47
14+30=44
15+28=43
20+21=41
The solution is the pair that gives sum 41.
a=20
b=21
Rewrite 15x^2
+41x+28 as (15x^2
+20x)+(21x+28).
(15x^2
+20x)+(21x+28)
Factor out 5x in the first and 7 in the second group.
5x(3x+4)+7(3x+4)
Factor out common term 3x+4 by using distributive property.
(3x+4)(5x+7)
If you would like to know the price Jay can pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed, you can calculate this using the following steps:
100% + 40% = 140%
140% of x is $299
140% * x = 299
140/100 * x = 299 /*100/140
x = 299 * 100 / 140
x = $213.6
40% of $213.6 = 40% * 213.6 = 40/100 * 213.6 = 85.44
$213.6 + $85.44 = $299
The correct result would be $213.6.
