Answer:

  12.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of months (m) such that ...

   1 - 17% = (1 -1.5%)^m

Taking logarithms:

  log(0.83) = m·log(0.985)

  m = log(0.83)/log(0.985) ≈ 12.3 . . . . months

Solve y=10x^3 + 5.5x^2 - 58.50x + 45.00
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-3, 1.2, 1.25}

Step-by-step explanation:

"Solve" is non-specific as to the solution required. We assume you want the x-intercepts.

A graph shows the zeros to be ...

  • x = -3
  • x = 1.2
  • x = 1.25

The equation can be factored as ...

  y = (1/2)(x +3)(4x -5)(5x -6)

Which of the following polynomials corresponds to the subtraction of the multivariate polynomials 19x 3 + 44x 2 y + 17 and y 3 -
ycow [4]

The polynomial y3 - 11xy2 + 2x2y - 13x3 corresponds to the subtraction of multivariate polynomial because of the minus and plus sign in it. Also, the variables cannot be easily added or subtracted because they are all different. Unlike in the polynomial 19x3 + 44x2y + 17, it has no minus sign.
