A * b = 48
a + b = -14....a = -14 - b

b(-14 - b) = 48
-b^2 - 14b = 48
b^2 + 14b + 48 = 0
(b + 6)(b + 8) = 0

b + 6 = 0
b = -6

b + 8 = 0
b = -8

so ur 2 numbers are : -6 and -8

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$
