Gloria deposited $500 into a bank account that earned 7.5% simple interest each year. She earned $225 in interest before closing

the account. If no money was deposited into or withdrawn from the account, for how many years was the money in the account? Round your answer to the nearest whole year. Enter your answer in the box.

T = 6 years

Equation:
t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 7.5%/100 = 0.075 per year,
then, solving our equation

t = (1/0.075)((725/500) - 1) = 6
t = 6 years

The time required to get
a total amount, principal plus interest, of $ 725.00
from simple interest on a principal of $ 500.00
at an interest rate of 7.5% per year
is 6 years.

Charlier is cutting a 10 3/8 foot piece of wood to make shelves for his bedroom. Does Charlie have enough wood to make four shel

Misha Larkins [42]

2 5/8 × 4 = 10 1/2

Charlie does not have enough wood because 10 1/2 is also equal to 10 4/8 and Charlie only has 10 3/8

a model sailboat like the one shown below was built using a scale of 1cm = 12ft. if the actual length of the boat is 84ft, how l

kaheart [24]

For every 12 foot of boat you have 1 cm on the model.

So the length of the model = 84 / 12 = 7 cms Answer

Find an m > 0 such that the the equation x^4−(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0 has four real solutions that form an arithmetic sequence.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The value of m is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation,

$x^4-(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0$

$x^4+0x^3-(3m+2)x^2+0x+m^2=0$

Let the roots of the equation are a-3b, a-b, a+b and a + 3b, ( they must be form an AP )

Thus, we can write,

$a-3b+a-b+a+b+a+3b=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^3}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}$

$=\frac{0}{1}=0$

$\implies a=0----(1)$

$(-3b)(-b)+(-b)(b)+(b)(3b)+(3b)(-3b)+(-b)(3b)+(-3b)(b)=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^2}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}}$

$=\frac{-3m-2}{1}$

$3b^2-b^2+3b^2-9b^2-3b^2-3b^2=-3m-2$

$-10b^2=-3m-2$

$\implies b^2=\frac{3m+2}{10}-----(2)$

$(-3b)(-b)(b)(3b)=\frac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{coefficient of}x^4}= m^2$

$9b^4=m^2$

$9(\frac{3m+2}{10})^2=m^2$

$9(\frac{9m^2+4+12m}{100})=m^2$

$81m^2+36+108m=100m^2$

$-19m^2+108m+36=0$

$19m^2-108m-36=0$

$19m^2-114m+6m-36=0$

$19m(m-6)+6(m-6)=0$

$(19m+6)(m-6)=0$

$\implies m=-\frac{6}{19}\text{ or }m=6$

But m > 0,

Hence, the value of m is 6.
