Answer:
x = 10 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0
Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 - 12 x = -20
Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.
Add 36 to both sides:
x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16
Hint: | Factor the left hand side.
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 6)^2 = 16
Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 10 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two different ordered pairs have the same x -coordinate. An equation that produces such a set of ordered pairs defines a function. What is the catch? There can be at most one output for every input.
Answer:
$7,012.76
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal
r = R/100
r = 7/100
r = 0.07 rate per year,
Then solve the equation for A
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07/1)(1)(5)
A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.07)(5)
A = $7,012.76
Summary:
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 7% per year compounded 1 times per year over 5 years is $7,012.76.
