when asked to factor the trinomial 8x2-8x-16, a student gives the answer (x-2)(x+1. What is one thing wrong with this answer?

1 answer:

5 0

One thing wrong is there is not closing parenthasees after x+1
and also, if you multiply it out, the answer is not 8x^2-8x-16 so the factored form given is worng

the real factored out form is 8(x-2)(x+1)
that person forgot the 8 in the front

I assume you are looking for the total. The total amount in the account will be $4,781.54 if the interest is compounded annually.

If she is earning 6% interest, the balance in her account will be multiplied by 1.06 each year.

You can evaluate the following expression to find the total.
