<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Multiply the first and last coefficient

Find a pair that has the product of ac (above) and the sum of b

Replace the b-term with the pair.

Divide the four terms into two-terms on the left side and two terms on the right side and factor out the common terms from each side.

This is reverse of the distributive property so the terms factored out (on the outside of the common term) combine to create a factor and the common term is the other factor.  

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable.

***************************************************************************************

1a. Answer: a = 1/2      a = -1

2a² + 3a + 1 = 0      → ac=2, b = 3    → use 1, 2  (product is 2 & sum is 3)

2a² + 2a + 1a + 1 = 0

2a² + 2a     +1a + 1        = 0

2a(<u>a + 1</u>)      +1(<u>a + 1</u>)      = 0

(2a + 1)(a + 1) = 0

2a + 1 = 0       and         a + 1 = 0

       a = 1/2    and               a = -1

**************************************************************************************

1b. Answer: y = -5/2    y = -5

2y² + 5y - 25 = 0  → ac=-50, b = 5 → use 10, -5  (product is -50 & sum is -5)

2y² + 10y - 5y - 25 = 0

2y² + 10y      - 5y - 25        = 0

2y(<u>y + 5</u>)      -5(<u>y + 5</u>)      = 0

(2y - 5)(y + 5) = 0

2y + 5 = 0       and         y + 5 = 0

       y = -5/2    and               y = -5

**************************************************************************************

1c. Answer: y = 5     y = 1/2

2y² - 11y + 5 = 0  → ac=10, b = -11 → use -1, -10  (product is 10 & sum is -11)

2y² - 1y - 10y + 5 = 0

2y² - 1y       -10y + 5        = 0

y(<u>2y - 1</u>)      -5(<u>2y - 1</u>)      = 0

(y - 5)(2y - 1) = 0

y - 5 = 0       and         2y - 1 = 0

     y = 5       and               y = 1/2

Grace bought a property valued at $200,00.00 and 20% down and a mortgage amortized over 10 years. She makes equal payments due a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Size of each monthly payment = $161.69 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Value of property = $20,000

Downpayment = 20%

Number of payment = 12 x 10 = 120

Interest rate = 4% = 4% / 12 = 0.33 %

Computation:

Loan balance = 20,000 - 20%

Loan balance = $16,000

A] Size of each monthly payment [In Excel]

Size of each monthly payment = PMT(0.33%,120,16000,0)

Size of each monthly payment = $161.69 per month

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window
Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>
