Answer:

-4

According to the rules of the distributive property, you have to multiply the term outside of the parentheses with the terms inside the parentheses first.

1. 2(-5)=-10

2. 2(3)=6

The terms that we have are now -10 and 6. Add them together to get the final answer.

Solve x^2 - x - 5/2 = 0 using the quadratic formula.

Soloha48 [4]

Using the quadratic formula, we have:

$\frac{1+- \sqrt{11} }{2}$ , so our solutions are $\frac{1+ \sqrt{11} }{2}$ and $\frac{1- \sqrt{11} }{2}$ .

romanna [79]

Answer:

Future requirement of water = 115,517 mega-liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Current requirement of water (C) = 48,000 mega-liters

Increasing rate per year (g) = 5% = 0.05

Number of year (n) = 18 years

Find:

Future requirement of water = ?

Computation:

$Future\ requirement\ of\ water = C(1+g)^n\\\\Future\ requirement\ of\ water = 48,000(1+0.05)^{18}\\\\ Future\ requirement\ of\ water = 48,000(1.05)^{18}\\\\ Future\ requirement\ of\ water = 48,000(2.4)\\\\Future\ requirement\ of\ water = 115,517 (Approx)$

Future requirement of water = 115,517 (Approx) mega-liters
