Answer:

  -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I find simplest form to be easier to get to if the leading coefficient is 1. Dividing by 16, we have ...

  x^2 +5/2x +27/16 = 0

Completing the square by adding and subtracting the square of half the x-coefficient, we get ...

  (x^2 +5/2x +25/16) +27/16 -25/16 = 0

  (x +5/4)^2 = 2/16

Subtracting 2/16, taking the square root, and subtracting 5/4 gives ...

  x +5/4 = ±√(-2/16)

  x = -5/4 ±i(√2)/4

The roots are -5/4 +i(√2)/4 and -5/4 -i(√2)/4.

Andy borrows $3890 over 4 years. What was the rate per annum of the loan if he paid back $5908?
lesya [120]

Answer:

The formula to get the rate R would be:

principal x (1+R)^time = (principle + interest)

=> 3890 x (1 + R)^4 = 5908

=> (1 + R)^4 = 5908/3890

=> (1 + R)^4 = 1.5188

=> 1 + R = 1.11

=> R = 1.11 - 1 = 0.11 = 11%

Hope this helps!
