Answer:
x= - 1.48 or 0.48
Step-by-step explanation:
I used general formula. Hope I'm on a right path.
George shouldn't think too far.
He should use the formula for Compound Interest.
Amount in compound interest, A = P(1+ r/100)ⁿ.
Where A = Amount, P = Principal, r is the rate per year, n = number of years.
Note: the expression (1+ r/100) is raised to power n.
From George's problem: P = 750, r = 22, I guess number of years , n = x
A(x) = 750( 1 + 22/100)ˣ
A(x) = 750( 1 + 0.22)ˣ
From your options I can't see an answer. Except the expression of option (A) is actually raised to power x, and not times x as stated in the option.
Answer:
<u>Given function:</u>
- f(x) = (-x + 2)(x + 1)(x +2)
<u>We can rewrite it as:</u>
- f(x) = - (x - 2)(x + 1)(x +2)
<u>Zeros are:</u>
- - (x - 2)(x + 1)(x +2) = 0
- x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
- x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1
- x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -2
As leading coefficient is negative the function is decreasing.
As the function is of degree 3, it is odd.
<u>Considering the above two factors we can define the shape of the graph:</u>
- It is decreasing function with one local minimum and one local maximum.
