7 0

--------------------------------------------------------
Equation Given
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add the constant to make it perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (2/2)² - ²(2/2)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the brackets
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (1)² - ²(1)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² - 1 = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add 1 to both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² = 17 + 1
(x + 1)² = 18

--------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
√(x + 1)² = $\pm$ √18

--------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x
--------------------------------------------------------
x = 4.24 - 1 or - 4.24 -1

x = 3.24 or - 5.24 (nearest hundredth)

--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = x = 3.24 or - 5.24
--------------------------------------------------------

(10/12) / (4/6)...when dividing with fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply

10/12 * 6/4 = 10/8 which reduces to 5/4 or 1 1/4

Orlando invested $16,000 in an eight-year CD bearing 6.5% simple annual interest, but needed to withdraw $3,500 after five years

baherus [9]

Answer:

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Orlando had not made his early withdrawal, the amount of money he would have earned is:

F = 0.065($16,000)(8) = $8.320

Given that he withdraw $3500, he now earns:

F1 = (0.065)($16,000)(5) + ($12,500)(0.065)(3)

F1 = $5200 + $2437.5 = $7637.5

And now we have to take into acount the year of penalty, which is one year’s worth of interest on the amount withdrawn.

Penalty= $3500(0.065)(1) = $227.5

So the total money he earns now is: $7637.5 - $227.5 = $7410

Then, the amunt of money he could have earn but he didn't is:

Money = $8.320 - $7410 = $910

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION C.

Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found th

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.515.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the respondents voted in favor of Scot Walker P(F) = 56%

Probability that the respondent voted in not favor of Scot Walker = 100-56 = P(F')=44%

Probability of those who did vote in favor had a college degree = 36% = P(C|F)

Probability of those who did vote against had a college degree = 44% = P(C|F')

So, we will use "Conditional Probability":

probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker given that they had a college degree is given by

$P(F|C)=\dfrac{0.56\times 0.36}{0.56\times 0.36+0.44\times 0.43}\\\\P(F|C)=0.515$

Hence, our required probability is 0.515.
