Find the zeros of g(x) = -x^2 + 6x - 8

Mathematics

lbvjy [14]3 years ago
3 0

(Remember to set g(x) to zero).

For this, I will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 8x^2 and a sum of 6x? That would be 4x and 2x. Replace 6x with 2x + 4x: 0=-x^2+2x+4x-8

Next, factor -x^2 + 2x and 4x - 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses: 0=-x(x-2)+4(x-2)

Next, you can rewrite the equation as 0=(-x+4)(x-2)

Now apply the Zero Product Property:

-x+4=0\\-x=-4\\x=4\\\\x-2=0\\x=2

<u>The zeros of this equation are 4 and 2.</u>

A man invests $2000 in an account that pays 6.5% interest per year, compounded quarterly.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. $2275.28; b. 17.04 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal to be invested is $2000

Interest rate (r) per year is 6.5 quarterly.

Interest is calculated compoundly.

a. Time (t) for the investment is given to be 2 years.

Amount after two years is = Principal × ( 1+ \frac{r}{100n}) ^ {nt} where the value of n is 4.

⇒ A = 2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {8}

⇒ A = $2275.28.

b. Now the value of A is given to be triple the principal = $ (3 × 2000).

Therefore we need to find the value of t.

⇒ 3 × 2000 =  2000  × ( 1+ \frac{6.5}{400}) ^ {4t}

⇒ ㏑ 3 = 4t × ㏑ ( 1.01625)

⇒ t = 17.04

Therefore it would take 17.04 years for the principal to triple.
