First, we simplify 6x+2y=36 into 3x+y=18 by dividing by 2. This means that y=-3x+18.
The sum

can be written as:

,

from the binomial expansion formula: </span>

.
<span>
Thus, substituting </span>y=-3x+18 and simplifying we have<span>
</span>



.
This is a parabola which opens upwards (the coefficient of x^2 is positive), so its minimum is at the vertex. To find x, we apply the formula -b/2a. Substituting b=-108, a=10, we find that x is 108/20=5.4.
At x=5.4, the expression

, which is equivalent to

, takes it smallest value.
Substituting, we would find

=32.4 This is the smallest value of the expression.
For x=5.4, y=-3x+18=-3(5.4)+18=1.8.
Answer: (5.4, 1.8)
It is given in the problem that
Liam buys a motorcycle for $2,900
Its value depreciates annually at a rate of 12%=0.12
At the end of t years, it has a value of less than $2,000
The exponential equation modeling this situation can be written as below

The inequality representing its value less than $2,000 can be written as below

Answer:
-1/2, 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
(x -7)(-4x -2)=0
This means that;
x - 7 = 0 and -4x - 2 = 0
x = 0+7 snd -4x = 2
x = 7 and x = -2/4
x = 7 and -1/2
Hence the solution from least to greatest is -1/2, 7
Answer: $106.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the bond price is $100.75
With a 6% brokerage fee
Find the total cost to the nearest cent
First, we calculate the 6% brokerage fee= 6/100 × 100.75
= 0.06 x 100.75
= 6.045
Total cost therefore is the sum of brokerage fee and the cost of bond
= $6.045 + $100.75
= $106.795
To the nearest cent = $106.8
Answer:
G=0.0728
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression given is:

This expression has the format of a compounded interest at a rate G for a time T. If B = 3,455, A = 1,969, and T = 8, the value of the rate G is determined by:
![3,455=1,969*(1+G)^8\\G = \sqrt[8]{\frac{3,455}{1,969}}-1\\G=0.0728](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%2C455%3D1%2C969%2A%281%2BG%29%5E8%5C%5CG%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%2C455%7D%7B1%2C969%7D%7D-1%5C%5CG%3D0.0728)
The rate G is 0.0728.
