Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to figure out how much money was left in the account after the interest was withdrawn, we have to first find out how much money was initially deposited to earn that amount of interest! The means to find that initial investment is found in the simple interest formula
prt = I, where
p is the initial investement,
r is the interest rate in decimal form,
t is the time in years, and
I is the interest earned. Notice that we have all those things but the p.
Filling in:
p(.0425)(4) = 2380 and
.17p = 2380 so
p = 14000
That means that 14000 was initially invested. If the depositor withdrew the 2380, then
14000 - 2380 is the amount left in the account, namely, $11620
It would be 8.5 because all you have to do is add 3 to 2.5 then you’ll get 5.5 then do that one more time.
0, 3
- 10, 15
= -10, -12
therefore, the slope is 6/5, and the intercept (c) is as supplied, 3.
the equation, y=mx+c or y = a + bx, can be applied here where m or b = 6/5, and a or c = 3.
therefore the equation is y=6/5x+3.
To test this, you can put in y = 10(6/5)+3, which spits out y = 15. This way we know it *should* work.
We can one theorem to help us find rational roots of this polynomial.
2x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 2
We'll use Descartes' rule of signs.
Because there is 1 sign change, 1 of the 3 roots will be positive.
Now we can make the value of x -1 to see how many negative roots there will be.
-2 + 1 + 4 - 2
There are 2 sign changes, so we know there will be 2 negative roots.
Because of this, we should have 3 real, rational roots.
