Step-by-step explanation:
no, no, you use the equation to identify a, b and c.
then you use the formula with these values to get the solutions to the equation (the values of x for which the equation delivers 0).
always remember, a quadratic equation always has 2 solutions. sometimes at least one of them are not a real number, sometimes the 2 springs are equal, ...
x² - 4x - 2 = 0
a, b, c are the factors of the terms in x and the constant term.
so,
a = 1
b = -4
c = -2
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
x = (4 ± sqrt((-4)² - 4×1×-2))/(2×1) =
= (4 ± sqrt(16 + 8))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(24))/2 =
= (4 ± sqrt(4×6))/2 = (4 ± 2×sqrt(6)) / 2 =
= 2 ± sqrt(6)
x1 = 2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = 2 - sqrt(6)
The profitability index of an investment with cash flows in years 0 thru 4 of -340, 120, 130, 153, and 166, respectively, and a discount rate of 16 percent is: 15%.
<h3>
Profitability index</h3>
First step is to find the Net present value (NPV) of the given cash flow using discount rate PVF 16% and PV of cash flow which in turn will give us net present value of 49.7.
Second step is to calculate the profitability index
Profitability index = 49.7/340
Profitability index = .15×100
Profitability index=15%
Therefore the profitability index of an investment with cash flows in years 0 thru 4 of -340, 120, 130, 153, and 166, respectively, and a discount rate of 16 percent is: 15%.

Answer:
r < -7 or r > 10
Step-by-step explanation:
-2|3 - 2r| < -34
|3 - 2r| > 17 (Note the inequality sign flips because we divide by negative)
Now we split it up into 2 inequalities :-
3 - 2r > 17
-2r > 14
r < -7 (answer)
and
3 - 2r < -17
-2r < -20
r > 10 (answer).
