2x-5-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}=\dfrac{(2x-5)(x+4)}{x+4}-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{(2x)(x)+(2x)(4)+(-5)(x)+(-5)(4)-x-(-8)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2+8x-5x-20-x+8}{x+4}=\dfrac{2x^2+2x-12}{x+4}

Anna also wants to travel after graduation but she isn’t working while in school so she won’t be able to put money aside regular
Molodets [167]

Answer:

She will have $2792 at the end of her four year investment

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Gift of $2500:

This means that P = 2500

She shopped around and found a 4 year GIC investment that earns 2.8% interest annually.

This means that t = 4, r = 0.028, n = 1.

How much will Anna have at the end of her four year investment?

This is A(4). So

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(4) = 2500(1 + 0.028)^{4} = 2792

She will have $2792 at the end of her four year investment

5(3x+8)=175 <br>with steps pls ​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(3x+8)=175

(5)(3x)+(5)(8)=175(Distribute)

15x+40=175

Step 2: Subtract 40 from both sides.

15x+40−40=175−40

15x=135

Step 3: Divide both sides by 15.

15x/15=135/15

x=9

What would be the correct answer for this?
nasty-shy [4]

First let's understand the discriminant. Discriminant is an equation of D = b²-4ac. Discriminant is to find how many solutions do the equation have. In case for Quadratic Equation, there are 3 types of solutions which are:

  1. No solutions or D < 0 — When D < 0, the equation does not have real roots.
  2. One solution or D = 0 — When D = 0, the equation has one real root.
  3. Two solutions or D > 0 — When D > 0, the equation has two real roots.

To find discriminant graphically, we need to know that the x-axis plane represents the solutions to the equations. All equations can be drawn as a graph. Some graphs do not intersect x-axis while some graph do.

  • If a graph intersects x-axis, the equation for that graph has solutions.
  • If a graph doesn't intersect x-axis, the equation doesn't have any real solutions.

You may also notice that some graphs intersect x-axis more than one point. Like I said that the x-axis represents the roots or the solutions. Intersecting x-axis "n" times means that the equation has "n" roots.

For example, if a graph intersects x-axis 8 points - the equation has 8 roots or solutions.

From the graph, the parabola intersects on x-axis just only one point. That means there is only one solution. The question asks to find the discriminant of the function. Recall that if D = 0, there's only one real root. Therefore the discriminant for the function is zero.

Answer

  • The discriminant for function is zero.

Let me know if you have any doubts!
