2 1/4 (2.25) is your answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have given x'=(24-16)x=8x
x' denotes the differenation
differentiation is performed with respect to t
by variable separable method we can write

on integrating both side

(property of log )
so the solution for x will be 
we can use formula

now, we can find a and b
Initially , price is 500
so,
At 


now, we can plug back

At 
we can use it and find b

now, we can solve for b
and we get

so,
annual depreciation rate is 27.144%.......Answer
Answer: 49
Step-by-step explanation:
a=1 ,b=14, c=?
b^2-4ac =0
(14)^2-4(1)(c)=0
196-4c=0
196=4c
c=49
Check:
(x)^2+2(x)(7)+(7)^2
x^2+14x+49
(x+7)^2
