So for this polynomial, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 20m^2 and a sum of -12m? That would be -10m and -2m. Replace -12m with -2m - 10m: 
Next, factor m^2 - 2m and -10m + 20 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: 
Now you can rewrite this expression as
. <u>(m - 10) and (m - 2) are your two factors.</u>
Sorry if I am wrong I am not 100% sure I think it’s 13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The compound interest formula is equal to
where
A is the Final Investment Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods
n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above and solve for t
Apply log both sides
Pedro = 280 + x
ricky = x
280 + x + x = 2672
2x = 2392
x = 1196
pedro = 1476, ricky = 1196
hope this help
Δ(discriminent) = b²-4ac
Calculate Δ of: -2x² + 6x +13, where:
a= -2
b=6
c=13
THEN Δ = 6² - 4(-2)(13) = 36 -4(-26) = 36 +104 and Δ = 140
