Given

we have

Squaring both sides, we have

And finally

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

and you'll have

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

and you'll have

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

Which is clearly false
Answer
After 13.15 years the population of both towns will become equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population of the city Anville is given by using the compound interest formula
The formula of compound interest
A = p( 1+r/n)^n*t
using this we get
P1 = 16000 (1 +
) ^1*t
Population of the city of Brinker will be
P2 = 11000( 1 +
) ^1*t
now to make equal population in both towns
P1=P2
16000 (1 +
) ^1*t = 11000( 1 +
) ^1*t

t = 13.15 years
Answer: 40 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of one card = x
Hence, the value of 20 cards ( Principal amount ) = 20x
And, the value of 22 cards ( Total amount after 3 month ) = 22x
⇒ Total interest in 3 month = 22x - 20x =2x
Let the annual interest rate = r %
( By the formula of simple interest rate )




Hence, the annual rate of interest = 40%

Answer: 149 cartridges will be sold at 20 dollars per cartridge.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The projected sales volume of a video game cartridge is given by the function
, where <em>s</em> is the number of cartridges sold, in thousands; <em>p</em> is the price per cartridge, in dollars; and <em>a</em> is a constant.
Put s(p)=100000, p= 10, we get

i.e. 
Put p=20, we get

Hence, 149 cartridges will be sold at 20 dollars per cartridge.
