Answer:

x = -2, -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0

Note that 2*5 = 10 and 2 + 5 = 7 so the factors are:

(x + 2)(x + 5) = 0

x + 2 = 0 gives x = -2

x + 5 = 0 gives x = -5.

Find the amount of time. I=$450, P=$2400, r=7.5%

Aliun [14]

~You need to set this problem up in the I=PRT form. This should be your formula then, 450=2400(.075)(t). Then do 2400 times .075 and then times that by t which equals 180t. To get rid of that t then take 450 divided by 180 and you get 2.5. Remember when working with rates put them in decimal form also but your time in years.

I hope this helps you:)

suppose that you plan on taking a summer job selling magazines subscriptions . the magazine company will help you pay $0.75 for

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Money earned by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Solution:

Given that you are planning to take a summer job selling magazine subscription.

For first subscription, magazine company will help you to pay $0.75

For each additional subscription sold, magazine company will pay you $0.20 more than what was paid for previous subscription.

So for second subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 1

And for third subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 2

Generalizing for nth subscription we get

Payments for nth subscription = 0.75 + 0.20(n-1)

so here we can see that arithmetic sequence is formed, having first term

$a_1 = 0.75$ and common difference = d = 0.20

We need to determine sum of above arithmetic sequence for n = 175

Formula for sum of arithmetic sequence is as follows 

$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

In our case n = 175, a = 0.75, d = 0.20

$\begin{array}{l}{=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[(2 \times 0.75)+(175-1) 0.20]} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[1.5+(174 \times 0.20)]} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2} \times 36.3=3176.25}\end{array}$

Hence money earn by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25
