Answer: C) 4</h3>
============================
Work Shown:
Expand out the left hand side
(x-k)(x-5)
x(x-5)-k(x-5)
x^2-5x-kx+5k
Note that the constant term here is 5k. Yes k seems like a variable, but it's actually a constant. Once we know k, we can replace it to get a fixed number. In this case, k = 4 since 5k = 5*4 = 20 to have it match with the 20 at the end of x^2-9x+20
For the x terms, we have -5x-kx = -5x-4x = -9x which matches with the middle term of x^2-9x+20
Therefore,
(x-k)(x-5) = x^2-9x+20
updates to
(x-4)(x-5) = x^2-9x+20
The -4 and -5 multiply to 20, and they also add to -9. This helps confirm we have the right k value.
It'd be 0.033 with 3 going till infinity
Answer:

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
essentially the plan that increases the price the most per week reaches the goal of $12 fastest.
plan A is $0.10 per week.
plan B it is not clear, if it means 10% of the original price every week, or every week 10% of the price of the previous week. I assume the first and simplest.
that means 10% of $8 = $0.80 per week.
plan C : the same amount every week until reaching $12. we need to increase in total by $4 (from $8 to $12). to reach these $4 in 8 weeks, we need to increase the price every week by 4/8 = $0.50.
plan D : $0.25 per week.
so, the plan with the highest increase every week and therefore the fastest one reaching $12 is plan B.
