o store. Big Video offers a special discount card that costs $9.99 for one year. With the discount card, each video rental costs $2.49. A discount card from Main Street Video cost $20.49 for one year. With the Main Street Video discout card, each video rental costs $1.79. After how many video rentals is the cost the same?

Answer:

The cost is the same after 15 video rentals

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cost be y

Let the number of video rentals made be x

Discount card for Big video = $9.99

Discount card for Main Street video = $20.49

Cost of 1 big video rental = $2.49

Cost of 1 Main Street video rental = $1.79

Cost of video rentals with big video:

Y = 9.99 + 2.49x………….(1)

Cost of video rentals with main street video :

Y = 20.49 +1.79x…………(2)

For the two costs to be equal, the two equations have to be equal to each other

Equating equations (1) and (2)

9.99 + 2.49x = 20.49 +1.79x

0.7x = 10.5

X = 10.5/0.7

X = 15  video rentals

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers
Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the x^2 coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like x^2+bx+c=0, then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

  • b is the opposite of the sum of the roots
  • c is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

  • 4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2
  • 4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8

So, the equation is x^2-2x-8=0

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

  • \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}
  • \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}

And so the equation is

x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0

You deposit $200 in an account earning 3% interest compounded
anastassius [24]

Answer:

$268.78

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the compound interest formula to solve this:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

First, change 3% into its decimal form:

3% -> \frac{3}{100} -> 0.03

Now, plug in the values:

A=200(1+\frac{0.03}{1})^{1(10)}

A=268.78

After 10 years, you will have $268.78
