Kim used 4 tulips in the bouquet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tulips used = x

Daffodils used = x²

Total flowers in bouquet = 20

According to given statement;

x^2+x=20\\x^2+x-20=0

Factorizing the Eqn

x^2+5x-4x-20=0\\x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0\\(x+5)(x-4)=0

Either,

x+5=0        => x= -5

Or,

x-4=0        => x = 4

As the number of flowers cannot be negative, therefore,

x = 4 (Where x is the number of tulips used)

Kim used 4 tulips in the bouquet.

A person invests 10000 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 4.5% interest compounded
Greeley [361]

The person would have to leave the money in the bank for 7.8 years for it to reach 13,500 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First we must calculate how much interest is generated for a single year. The annual interest rate is 4.5% i.e. 4.5% of 10,000 dollars which equals 0.045 × 10,000 = 450 dollars a year. As the years pass, more and more will be put into the account due to interest.

Step 2; For there to be 13,500 dollars in the bank account we need to calculate how much money is added due to interest.

The money needed to be added through interest = 13,500 - 10,000 = 3,500 dollars.

So we need to determine how long it will take for the bank to add 3,500 dollars by adding 450 dollars a year.

The number of years to reach 13,500 dollars = \frac{3,500}{450} = 7.777 years. By rounding this value to the nearest tenth, we get 7.8 years.
