Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x = ( square both sides )
x² = 3x + 10 ( subtract 3x + 10 from both sides )
x² - 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are solutions.
x = 5
right side = =
= 5 = left side ← solution
x = - 2
right side = =
= 2 ≠ - 2 ← not a solution
Thus x = 5 is the solution to the equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a ) The worth of Jean-Claude's gnome after 1 year
= 80000 x 1.02
= £81600
b ) common ratio of geometric progression
= 81600 / 80000
= 1.02
c ) worth after 10 years
= 80000 x 1.02¹⁰
= 80000 x 1.21899
= £97519.55
d )
120000 = 80000 x
1.5 =
ln1.5 = k ln 1.02
k = ln 1.5 / ln 1.02
= .4054 / .0198
= 20.47 years .
