2x^2 + 14x + 12 = 0
x^2 + 7x + 6 = 0
( x + 1 )( x + 6 ) = 0 ==》 x = - 1 Or x = - 6
Answer:
it would simplify to 12/1 or just 12
I would say ray ac, because it shouldn't matter which order you put the letters.
The amount an investment of 16000 grows over 7 years is 16000*0.12 (i.e., 12% of 16000). So, the total amount after 7 years is 16000 + 16000*0.12, which is the same as writing 16000*1.12. Now, continue the same argument: the amount we now have 16000*1.12 grows after another 7 years to (16000*1.12)*1.12. Third 7-year period, again, (16000*1.12*1.12*)*1.12, and so on. As you can already see the number of periods shows up as the number of factors 1.12 multiplied here. A shorthand for writing that is to use the exponent, like this
.
Generalizing to n 7-year periods yields a formula:
