X^2 +3x-4=0
(X+4)(x-1)=0 so x = -4 and x=1 are solutions
8) So remember the sum of all angles inside a triangle is equal to 180°. We first want to figure out the angle below the 110°.
A straight line is 180° so if we do 180 - 110 we get 70° therefore the angle below the 110° is 70°.
So we now know two angles in the triangle, 70° and 80°. Add these and we get 150°. Now we can determine the final angle (the one labelled (2x - 6)) which will be 30°.
So let’s make it into an equation:
2x - 6 = 30
Add 6 to both sides to isolate 2x:
2x = 36
Divide by 2 to get the value of x:
x = 18
10) Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, and there are only 3 angles, we can determine A easily.
B = 10°
C = 160°
So to determine A:
180 - 160 - 10
Which gives us 10
Therefore A = 10°.
So the answers:
8) x = 18
9) A = 10°
I hope this helps you!!
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Subtracting whole numbers does not include subtracting negative numbers, whereas when subtracting integers you can include negative numbers.
If you follow PEMDAS your answer would be 3.6.
