The radius of the aquarium tank is 8.25
Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0
3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7
5% compounded quarterly equals (1.0125)^4 -1=0.0509453369140625 or 5.09453369140625 % APR
250*(1.0125)^20=$320.51 at the end of 5 years
