Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the amount of products a company sells directly affects the amount of money it has
The zeros for this function are -2, -1 and a double root of 0.
You can find this by first factoring the polynomial on the inside of the parenthesis. Polynomials like this can be factored by looking for two numbers that multiply to the constant (2) and add up to the second coefficient (3). The numbers 2 and 1 satisfy both of those needs and thus can be used as the numbers in a factoring.
x^2(x^2 + 3x + 2)
x^2(x + 2)(x + 1)
Now to find the zeros, we set each part equal to 0. You may want to split the x^2 into two separate x's for this purpose.
(x)(x)(x + 2)(x + 1)
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
a) The formula for compound interest is:
Total = starting amount x (1 + interest rate)^ number of years
b)
Using the given information you have:
1200 = 500 x (1+0.045)^x where x is the length of time you want to find.
1200 = 500 (1.045)^x
Divide both sides by 500:
2.4 = 1.045^x
Use natural logarithms:
ln(1.045^x) = ln(2.4)
Solve for x:
X = ln(2.4) / ln(1.045)
X = 19.889 years ( Round the answer as needed).
