Answer:

-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the multiplicative inverse, then:

Debra plans to invest $2,250 for 10 years. She can invest in a savings account that pays 4% simple intrest or a savings account

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$\$180.55$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Simple interest

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+rt)$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ P=\$2,250\\r=4\%=4/100=0.04$

substitute in the formula above

$A=2,250(1+0.04*10)$

$A=2,250(1.4)$

$A=\$3,150$

step 2

Interest compounded annually

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ P=\$2,250\\r=4\%=4/100=0.04\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$A=2,250(1+\frac{0.04}{1})^{1*10}$

$A=2,250(1.04)^{10}$

$A=\$3,330.55$

step 3

Find the differences between the two final amounts

$A=\$3,330.55-\$3,150=\$180.55$

What is the solution to sqrt 17-x=x+3? Show your work.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

$(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a\\\\(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Given the equation $\sqrt{17-x}=x+3$ , you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.

You need to square both sides of the equation:

$(\sqrt{17-x})^2=(x+3)^2$

$17-x=(x+3)^2$

Simplifying, you get:

$17-x=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2\\\\17-x=x^2+6x+9\\\\x^2+6x+9+x-17=0\\\\x^2+7x-8=0$

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two numbers whose sum be 7 and whose product be -8. These are: -1 and 8:

$(x-1)(x+8)=0$

Then:

$x_1=1\\x_2=-8$

Let's check if the first solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(1)}=(1)+3$

$4=4$ (It checks)

Let's check if the second solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(-8)}=(-8)+3$

$5\neq-5$ (It does not checks)

Therefore, the solution is:

$x=1$
