The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

first, u need to know the formula for compound interest, which is:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{n}

where A is the final amount

P- initial amount

r- percent compounded(interest)

and

n- number of years

so

we have

A = 475(1 + \frac{3.8}{100})^{4}

3.8/100 = 0.038

1+0.038 =1.038

1.038^4 = 1.160885573136

475 * 1.160885573136 = 551.4206472396‬

approximately $551.42
