Answer:

x = - 3 ± √27 or if you want it in decimal form correct to nearest hundredth:

x = -8.20, 2.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x - 18 = 0

this will not factor so we use completing the square:

x^2 + 6x = (x + 3)^2 - 9 so:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 - 18 = 0

(x + 3)^2 = 27

x+ 3 = ±√27

x = - 3 ± √27

Kym plans to deposit $100 in an account at the end of each month for the next five years so that she can take a trip. (a) If Kym

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly deposit= $100

Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005

Number of periods= 12*5= 60 months

a)

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {100*[(1.005^60) - 1]} / 0.005

FV= $6,977

b) If the deposit is at the beginning of the month, the interest is compounded one more period. We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

FV= 6,977 + {[100*(1.005^60)] - 100}

FV= 6,977 + 35

FV= $7,012

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 − 3x − 10 from x = 4 to x = 6. A) 5 Reactivate B) 7 C) 9 Reactivate D) 11

White raven [17]

Answer:Rate of change is 7

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the average rate of change for $f(x)=x^2-3x-10$ from x = 4 to x = 6

The formula used to find average rate of change is:

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Where b = 6 and x = 4

Finding f(6):

$f(x)=x^2-3x-10\\f(6)=(6)^2-3(6)-10\\f(6)=36-18-10\\f(6)=36-28\\f(6)=8$

Finding f(4):

$f(x)=x^2-3x-10\\f(4)=(4)^2-3(4)-10\\f(4)=16-12-10\\f(4)=16-22\\f(4)=-6$

Now Putting values:

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{8-(-6)}{6-4}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{8+6}{2}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=\frac{14}{2}\\Rate\,\,of\,\,change=7$

So, Rate of change is 7

Option B is correct.

Why is 3/4 greater thab 11/16 how can i be sure

Delicious77 [7]

You can make them have the same denominator and then compare

$( \frac{3}{4}) ( \frac{16}{16}) = \frac{48}{64}$

$(\frac{11}{16})( \frac{4}{4}) = \frac{44}{64}$

so as you can see, $\frac{3}{4} is \frac{4}{64} bigger than \frac{11}{16}$
