Standard form of a quadratic f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
In a quadratic function you find the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a; once you find the x value, substitute it into the equation and solve for y.
To know if a parabola opens up or down you look at the coefficient of the x^2 term. If it is positive, the graph opens up; if it is negative, the graph opens down.

If you invest $100 into an account that earns 9% interest each year, how many years will it take for you to have $200?

Helga [31]

It does not say simple or compound interest.
Simple interest is rarely used these days, so assume compound.
Use the standard formula:
future value = present value*(1+rate/n)^(nt)
n=number of times interest is compounded per year (=1)
t=number of years
Plugging values,
200=100(1.09)^t
1.09^t = 2
take log
t(log(1.09))=log 2
t=log(2)/log(1.09)=0.6931/0.08618=8.04 years.

What is 6 divided by 812

maksim [4K]

6 divided by 812 is very difficult to do without using a calculator - I would suggest the bus shelter method, as I've shown in the photo attached, but it is still quite difficult to use that method without a calculator.

<em>If</em>, however, you mean 812 divided by 6, that is a lot easier to calculate using the bus shelter method - so, just in case, I've attached the method for that too.

6 divided by 812 = 0.007389...
