Answer: $23,896

Step-by-step explanation:

In the year 2030, the number of years since the investment would be;

= 2030 - 2012

= 18 years.

As the question does not mention that the interest paid is compounded, simple interest will be used;

= Amount + (Amount * interest rate * number of years).

= 14,500 + ( 14,500 * 0.036 * 18)

= $23,896

Solve (x + 3)2 + (x + 3) – 2 = 0. Let u = Rewrite the equation in terms of u. (u2 + 3) + u – 2 = 0 u2 + u – 2 = 0 (u2 + 9) + u –

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The solutions of the original equation are x=-5 and x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(x+3)^2+(x+3)-2=0$

Let

$u=(x+3)$

Rewrite the equation

$(u)^2+(u)-2=0$

Complete the square

$u^2+u=2$

$u^2+u+1/4=2+1/4$

$u^2+u+1/4=9/4$

rewrite as perfect squares

$(u+1/2)^2=9/4$

square root both sides

$(u+1/2)=\pm\frac{3}{2}$

$u=(-1/2)\pm\frac{3}{2}$

$u=(-1/2)+\frac{3}{2}=1$

$u=(-1/2)-\frac{3}{2}=-2$

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Alternative Method</em>

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$(u)^2+(u)-2=0$

so

$a=1\\b=1\\c=-2$

substitute in the formula

$u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4(1)(-2)}} {2(1)}$

$u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{9}} {2}$

$u=\frac{-1\pm3} {2}$

$u=\frac{-1+3} {2}=1$

$u=\frac{-1-3} {2}=-2$

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Find the solutions of the original equation</em>

For u=-2

$-2=(x+3)$ ----> $x=-2-3=-5$

For u=1

$1=(x+3)$ ----> $x=1-3=-2$

therefore

The solutions of the original equation are

x=-5 and x=-2

Assuming part a is correct, how do you do b and c?

zubka84 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Yes, we are 99% confident that the population mean is within the interval.

C. Yes, 225 is below the interval minimum, so it is reasonable to conclude the average cholesterol level is greater than 225 mg/dl.

D. No. Increasing the sample size would decrease the margin of error, so the ends of the interval would move closer to the sample mean of 251.9. So the interval minimum would still be higher than 225.

Answer:

$46.2^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

If b = 9 and c = 13, what is the measure of ∠A? (round to the nearest tenth of a degree)

The picture in the attached figure

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

$cos(A)=\frac{b}{c}$ ---> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

$cos(A)=\frac{9}{13}$

using a calculator

$A=cos^{-1}(\frac{9}{13})=46.2^o$
