Answer:

x= -7 x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 7 and add to 8

7*1 = 7

7+1 = 8

(x+7)(x+1) =0

Using the zero product property

x+7 =0 x+1 = 0

x= -7 x = -1

Answer:

$x = - 1 \\ x = - 7$

Answer B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 8x + 7 = 0\\ {x}^{2} + 7x + x + 7 = 0\\ x(x + 7) + 1(x + 7) = 0 \\ (x + 1)(x + 7) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \\ x = - 1$

$x + 7 = 0 \\ x = - 7$

hope this helps

What is the distance between the zoo and the library?

KATRIN_1 [288]

The answer is as follow

sin60° = 400√3 / H1, implies H1= 400√3 / sin60° 
sin30° = 400√3 / H2, implies H2= 400√3 / sin30° 
and the if the distance is D,
so we can find D such that D= H2 - H1=400√3 / sin30° - 400√3 / sin60°
D= 400√3(1/sin30° - 1/ sin60°)=400√3(2-1.15)=338.11√3

Maggie is considering two investments. Investment A Investment B Principal $10,000 $8,000 Interest rate 3% 2.8% Time in years 5

lana [24]

To solve this we are going to use the simple interest formula: $A=P(a+rt)$
where
$A$ is the final amount.
$P$ is the initial investment.
$r$ is the interest rate in decimal form.
$t$ is the time in years.

Investment A. We know that the initial investment is $10,000, so $P=10000$ . We also know that the number of years is 5, so $t=5$ . To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%
$r= \frac{3}{100} =0.03$
Lets replace those values in our formula to find $A$ :
$A=P(a+rt)$
$A=10000(1+0.03*5)$
$A=11500$

Investment B. $P=8000$ , $t=15$ , and $r= \frac{2.8}{100} =0.028$ .
$A=P(a+rt)$
$A=8000(1+0.028*15)$
$A=11360$

We can conclude that investment A will be worth than investment B at the end of the investment period.
