First square both sides to get:

c + 22 = (c + 2)^2

c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4

Move the terms on the left side to the right side:

c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0

Factor to get:

(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.

The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.

Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:

c = -6:

sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2

But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.

c = 3:

sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2

5 = 5. So, 3 works.

The answer is: B

What are the roots of -12x2 + 11x − 3 = 0?

boyakko [2]

This equation is not factor-able, so we can use the quadratic formula.
x=(-11+square root(11^2-4(-12*-3)))/(2*-12)
x=(-11+square root(-23))/(-24)
Since we have the square root of a negative in this equation, there are no real roots for the quadratic.

HELP!! 50 POINTS!!!

aalyn [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a table, which represents the projected value of two different houses for three years.

Part A:

$\text{Increase in value of house 1 after one year}=294,580-286,000$

$\text{Increase in value of house 1 after one year}=8580$

$\text{Increase in value of house 1 after two years}=303,417.40-294,580$

$\text{Increase in value of house 1 after two years}=8837.4$

We can see from our given table that the value of house 1 is not increasing at a constant rate, while a linear function has a constant rate of change, therefore, an exponential function can be used to describe the value of the house 1 after a fixed number of years.

$\text{Increase in value of house 2 after one year}=295,000-286,000$

$\text{Increase in value of house 2 after one year}=9,000$

$\text{Increase in value of house 2 after two years}=304,000-295,000$

$\text{Increase in value of house 2 after two years}=9,000$

We can see from our given table that the value of house 2 is increasing at a constant rat that is $9,000 per year. Since a linear function has a constant rate of change, therefore, a linear function can be used to describe the value of the house 2 after a fixed number of years.

Part B:

Let x be the number of years after Dominique bought the house 1.

Since value of house 1 is increasing exponentially, so let us find increase percent of value of house 1.

$\text{Increase }\%=\frac{\text{Final value-Initial value}}{\text{Initial value}}\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=\frac{294,580-286,000}{286,000}\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=\frac{8580}{286,000}\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=0.03\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=3$

$\text{Increase }\%=\frac{303,417.40-294,580}{294,580}\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=\frac{8837.4}{294,580}\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=0.03\times 100$

$\text{Increase }\%=3$

Therefore, the growth rate of house 1's value is 3%.

Since we know that an exponential function is in form: $y=a*b^x$ , where,

a = Initial value,

b = For growth b is in form (1+r), where, r is rate in decimal form.

$3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03$

Upon substituting our values in exponential function form we will get,

$f(x)=286,000(1+0.03)^x$ , where, f(x) represents the value of the house 1, in dollars, after x years.

Therefore, the function $f(x)=286,000(1.03)^x$ represents the value of house 1 after x years.

Let x be the number of years after Dominique bought the house 2.

We can see that when Dominique bought house 2 it has a value of $286,000. This means that at x equals 0 value of house will be $286,000 and it will be our y-intercept.

Since value of house 2 is increasing 9000 per year, therefore, slope of our line be 9000.

Upon substituting these values in slope-intercept form of equation $(y=mx+b)$ we will get,

$f(x)=9000x+286,000$ , where, f(x) represents the value of the house 2, in dollars, after x years.

Therefore, the function $f(x)=9000x+286,000$ represents the value of house 2 after x years.

Part C:

Since values in exponential function increases faster than linear function, so the value of house 1 will be greater than value of house 2.

Let us find the value of house 1 and house 2 by substituting x=25 in our both functions.

$f(25)=286,000(1.03)^{25}$

$f(25)=286,000*2.0937779296542148$

$f(25)=598820.48788$

We can see that value of house 1 after 25 years will be approx $598,820.48.

$f(25)=9000*25+286,000$

$f(25)=225,000+286,000$

$f(25)=511,000$

We can see that value of house 2 after 25 years will be approx $511,000.

Since $511,000 is less than $598820.48, therefore, value of house 1 is greater than value of house 2.
