Answer:

x + 6 and x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x - 12

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 4)

The factors are + 6 and - 2, since

6 × - 2 = - 12 and 6 - 2 = + 4 , thus

x² + 4x - 12 = (x + 6)(x - 2) ← in factored form

Answer: (3.5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, all we have to do is plug in y=-2 into either equations from step one to find the coordinate. To make sure we have the right x-coordinate, let's plug in y for both equations.

4x-7y=28 [plug in y=-2]

4x-7(-2)=28 [multiply]

4x+14=28 [subtract both sides by 14]

4x=14 [divide both sides by 4]

x=3.5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6x-5y=31 [plug in y=-2]

6x-5(-2)=31 [multiply]

6x+10=31 [subtract both sides by 10]

6x=21 [divide both sides by 6]

x=3.5

Now, we know the solution to the system is (3.5,-2).

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef

uranmaximum [27]

The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
$r = {(1 + \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1$
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
$r = {(1 + \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = {(1 + \frac{1}{25}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = \frac{676}{625} - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%$
