8x - 3y = 24
y-intercept ⇒ x = 0
subtitute
8 · 0 - 3y = 24
-3y = 24 |divide both sides by (-3)
y = -8
Answer:
It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for continuous compounding

where r stands for the (annual) interest rate, t for time in years, P for the initial principal (investment) and X is the amount after t years.
(this formula can be beautifully derived from just basic considerations, btw)
We are given t=5, and percent increase on the initial P, so we can solve for r

It will take an interest rate of 8.1% to get 150% of the initial investment in just 5 years.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Theorm-The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots.
Let's verify that the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra holds for quadratic polynomials.
A quadratic polynomial is a second degree polynomial. According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the quadratic set = 0 has exactly two roots.
As we have seen, factoring a quadratic equation will result in one of three possible situations.
graph 1
The quadratic may have 2 distinct real roots. This graph crosses the
x-axis in two locations. These graphs may open upward or downward.
graph 2
It may appear that the quadratic has only one real root. But, it actually has one repeated root. This graph is tangent to the x-axis in one location (touching once).
graph 3
The quadratic may have two non-real complex roots called a conjugate pair. This graph will not cross or touch the x-axis, but it will have two roots.
Answer:
the solution is (-4, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by 2. This produces 4x + 2y = -14.
Now combine this result with the second equation:
4x + 2y = -14
-3x - 2y = 10
------------------
x = -4
Subbing -4 for x in the first equation yields 2x - 4 = -7, or 2x = -3.
Then x = -3/2, and the solution is (-4, -3)
I remember it as a meter in the middle a 100 cents in a dollar and a millimeter is just one one-thousandth of a meter. A kilo is 100 times a meter.
