Find the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 1/2(x- 7)^2 – 8​

Mathematics

Rasek [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 11 or 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (1/2)(x- 7)² – 8​

to find the zeros, we equate f(x) = 0

f(x) = 0

(1/2)(x- 7)² – 8​ = 0      (add 8 to both sides)

(1/2)(x- 7)² = 8     (multiply both sides by 2)

(x- 7)² = (8)(2)

(x- 7)² = 16

x-7 = ±√16

x-7 = ±4

hence,

x - 7 = 4

x = 4 + 7

x = 11

or

x - 7 = -4

x = -4 +7

x = 3

.50 × 10 = 5

20.25 + 5 = 25.25

What is 16-2t = 5t+ 9
Harman [31]

Harper deposited $110 into a savings account that earns 3.5% interest a year. The function (R)t models the amount of money Raymo
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

  A.  $2.26

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation for Harper's balance can be written similar to the one written for Raymond's balance. It will be ...

  H(t) = 110(1.035)^t

For t = 2, the two balances will be ...

  H(2) = 110(1.035^2) = 117.83

  R(2) = 110(1.025^2) = 115.57

The difference is ...

  $117.83 -115.57 = $2.26

Harper's account will have $2.26 more.

_____

As a quick estimate or sanity check, you can see that Harper's interest rate is 1% more than Raymond's. So, in 2 years, he will earn a little more than 2% more on his investment than Raymond earns. 2% of $110 is $2.20, so the difference can be expected to be slightly more than this.
