ANSWER : (9u - 8)2

STEPS:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 81 • 64 = 5184

Step-2 : Find two factors of 5184 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -144 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -72 and -72
81u2 - 72u - 72u - 64

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9u • (9u-8)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9u-8) • (9u-8)
Which is the desired factorization

Answer:

Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

In simple interest, the money earns interest at a fixed rate, assuming no new money is coming in or out of the account.

We can calculate the interests earned by an investment of value A in a period of time t, at an interest rate r with the formula:

$I=A.r.t$

Mrs. Adams deposited an amount of A=$12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of r=3.25%. We must find the interest earned in t=8 years. The interest rate is converted to decimal as:

$r=3.25/100=0.0325$
