Answer:

The square root of x will be evaluated first before the addition of 5. Hence (-3)^2 = 9 and 9 +5 = 14, as per your teacher's answer, which is correct. The answer would not be -4.

\text{You have to solve by plugging in -3 to x:}\\\\(-3)^2+5\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\(-3)^2+5\\\\9+5\\\\\boxed{14}\\\\\text{Your answer would be 14. The teacher is correct}

Lilian has part of $9000 invested at 4% and the remainder at 6%. His annual return on each investment is the same. At what rate
Debora [2.8K]
Given:
Total amount invested = $9,000
interest rates = 4% and 6%

Let x be the part of 9,000.
Note that annual return on each investment is the same.

0.04x = 0.06(9,000 - x)
0.04x = 540 - 0.06x
0.04x + 0.06x = 540
0.10x = 540 
x = 540/0.10
x = 5,400

0.04x = 0.06(9,000 - x)
0.04(5,400) = 0.06(9,000 - 5,400)
216 = 0.06(3,600)
216 = 216

total interest for the year : 216 + 216 = 432

Interest = pricipal * interest rate * term
432 = 9,000 * interest rate * 1 yr
432/9,000 = interest rate
0.048 = interest rate

Interest rate would be 4.8% to get the same interest from the whole 9,000.

Which Exponential function has a initial and child value of 2​
fredd [130]

For an exponential function the y-intercept is the "initial value" (not the common ratio).

y = 2 \times  {1}^{x}

will always be 2. if that's what you need

note that

{1}^{0}  = 1

because anything to the power of zero equals 0 (mathematically it's deciding something by itself)
