X^2 - 4x - 12 = 0 Factor and solve

Ax^2+bx+c=0

find what 2 numbers multiply to get c and add to get b
x^2-4x-12
b=-4
c=-12

x times y=-12
x+y=-4
factor -12
-1, 12
-2,6
-3,4
add
-1+12=11
-2+6=4
-3+4=1

the one that works is -2 and 6 because they can be reversed to make -6 and 2 which multiploy to get -12 and add to get -4 so 

split it up into

x^2-4x-12=(x-6)(x+2)=0
set each to zero
x-6=0
add 6
x=6

x+2=0
subtract 2
x=-2

x=6 or -2

The measures of the three of the interior angles of a quadrilateral are 60°, 110°, and 90°. What is the measure of the fourth an
irina [24]
The answer is C. 100 because the total measure of a quadrilateral is 360. When you add up the 3 interior angle measures, it adds up to 260. Then you subtract 360-260 to get 100 as the fourth angle measure. Hope that this helped!

Which algebraic expressions are polynomials? Check all that apply. PLEASE HELP
dexar [7]
Selections 2, 3, 5, 6 are polynomials.

1 and 4 are not. The coefficients don't have to be integers, but the powers of the variables need to be positive integers. In 1, you have x^-1. in 4, you have x^(1/2).

The Henley's took out a loan for $195,000 to purchase a home. At a 4.3% interest rate
ella [17]

Interest paid after 30 years is $494,546.99.

Solution:

Principal (P) = $195,000

Interest rate (r) = 4.3%

Time (t) = 30 years

n = number of times interest calculated per year

n = 1

Compound interest formula:

$A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}

where A is the final amount

$A=195000\left(1+\frac{4.3\%}{1}\right)^{1\times 30}

$A=195000\left(1+\frac{4.3}{100}\right)^{30}

$A=195000\left(\frac{100+4.3}{100}\right)^{30}

$A=195000\left(\frac{104.3}{100}\right)^{30}

A = 689546.99

Interest = Amount  - Principal

             = 689546.99 - 195000

             = 494546.99

Interest paid after 30 years is $494,546.99.
