Expanded, the function is ...
... p(x) = x² -x +1
Compared to
... ax² +bx +1
- The value of a is 1
- The vaule of b is -1
- The value of c is 1
- The value of the discriminant is b²-4ac = 1²-4·1·1 = -3
- The quadratic function will intersect the x-axis 0 times.
_____
The negative discriminant means there are no real roots, hence no x-intercepts.
Original price of the laptop = P = $600
Rate of depreciation = r = 10% = 0.10
Time in years = t = 2
We have to find the worth of the laptop after 2 years. The given formula is:
Using the given values, we get:
Thus, the laptop will worth $486 in two years
Answer:
x= 23
y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
x-y=16
4y-5=x
4y-5-y=16
3y-5=16 add 5 to both sides
3y=21 divide by 3 on both sides
y=7
x-7=16 substitute back in
x=23 added 7 to both sides
so x=23 and y=7
23-7=16
Answer:
$16
Step-by-step explanation:
This method is probbaly working backwards. I'm not sure.
12 - 4 = 8 (How much she was left with if she didn't wash the car for 4 dollars)
8 x 2 = 16 (They mentioned she spent half of her weekly allowance)
Correct answer is C.
Or check if f(0.2) = 0 to eliminate A and B.
Then check if f(-0.5) = 0 to eliminate D.
