Answer:

Jose's solution is not correct, the auditorium has 16 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=2x^{2} -6x

where

f(x)------> is the total number of seats in the auditorium

x----> represents the number of rows

How many rows are there in the auditorium if it has a total of 416 seats?

so

Find the value of x for f(x)=416 seats

substitute the value of f(x) in the equation

416=2x^{2} -6x

2x^{2} -6x-416=0

Using a graphing calculator

The values of x are

x=-13, x=16

The solution is

x=16 rows because the number of rows can not be a negative number

A newborn child receives a $20,000 gift toward college education from her grandparents. How much will the 20,000 be worth in 17
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The amount the $20.000 will be worth in 17  years at compound interest is $65068.443

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the Principal, P = $20,000.00

The annual interest rate, r = 7% = 0.07

Time , t = 17 years

Number of compounding period per year, m = quarterly = 4

The compound interest can be found from the following formula;

Amount, \ A = P \left (1 + \frac{1}{r}  \right )^{mt}

Therefore, by plugging the values of the equation parameters, we have;

Amount, \ A = 20000 \left (1 + \frac{0.07}{4}  \right )^{4 \times 17} = \$  65068.443

Therefore, the amount the $20.000 will be worth in 17  years at compound interest = $65068.443.

Solve for hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}

Substitute 3 for A and 4 for B
\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}

Solve exponents
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
\sqrt{9+16}

Add
9 + 16 = 25
\sqrt{25}

Solve square root
\sqrt{25} = 5
