The solutions would be +0.37 and -0.37.
When completing the square, we take 1/2 of the value of b (in this case 5). 5/2=2.5. We then square this number: 2.5²=6.25. We add this value to both sides of the equation:
x²+5x+6.25 = 2+6.25
(x+2.5)² = 8.25
Take the square root of both sides:
√(x+2.5)² = √8.25
x + 2.5 = 2.87
Subtract 2.5 from both sides:"
x+2.5-2.5 = 2.87-2.5
x = 0.37
We have to take the positive and negative values for solutions, however, since a square root has both positive and negative answers.
Yeah,I'm sure you have it right. ;)
Well there are 2 green apples, and 4 fruits with citrus, and there are 9 fruits total, so 6/9, and simplified that is 2/3
Retention ratio = (net income - dividends) / net income
retention ratio = (20,000 - 6000) / 20000 = 14,000/20,000 = 0.7 = 70%
