What is the factored form of b2 – 4b – 32?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  (b – 8)(b + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The signs of the binomial constants must be different in order for their product to be -32.

The one with the larger magnitude must be negative in order for their sum to be -4. The only viable choice is (b -8)(b +4).

An object is launched from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after the launch, is modeled by: h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60h(x
EastWind [94]
It takes 6 seconds for it to hit the ground.

0 = -5x²+20x+60

We can solve this by factoring.  First factor out the GCF, -5:

0 = -5(x²-4x-12)

Now we want factors of -12 that sum to -4.  -6(2) = -12 an -6+2 = -4:
0 = -5(x-6)(x+2)

Using the zero product property, we know that either x-6=0 or x+2=0; this gives us the answers x=6 or x=-2.  Since we cannot have negative time, x=6.

Find how many years it would take for an investment of $3700 to grow to $6000 at an annual interest rate of 6.2% compounded semi
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

  7 years 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value formula for the value of a principal P invested at annual rate r compounded n times yearly for t years is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

For the given numbers, we want to find t:

  6000 = 3700(1 +.062/2)^(2t)

Dividing by 3700 and taking the logarithm, we get ...

  6000/3700 = 1.031^(2t)

  log(60/37) = 2t·log(1.031)

Dividing by the coefficient of t gives ...

  t = log(60/37)/(2log(1.031)) ≈ 7.92 . . . . . years

It will take about 7 years 11 months for the investment to grow to $6000.
