Let's move like a crab, backwards some.
after 2 years?

after 3 years?

is that enough to pay the $1100?
now, let's write 1000(1+r)² in standard form
1000( 1² + 2r + r²)
1000(1 + 2r + r²)
1000 + 2000r + 1000r²
1000r² + 2000r + 1000 <---- standard form.
Answer:
B. a = 4, b = -8, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic equation given is:

The general form of a quadratic equation is given as:

Let us put the given equation in this form and then compare with the general form of the quadratic equation.

Therefore, by comparing:
a = 4
b = -8
c = -3
The correct option is B
125.7 - ( - 1.82 )
125.7 + 1.82
127.52
Hi there!
In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
