A. Two real solutions (x' = -1 and x'' = -1/4)
Hello, we need to see it as a difference of two squares as we know that for all a and b real numbers

So, here

Voila !
Thank you
Answer:
"To the nearest year, it would be about 9 years"
Step-by-step explanation:
11c)
This is compound growth problem. It goes by the formula:

Where
F is the future amount
P is the present (initial) amount
r is the rate of growth, in decimal
t is the time in years
Given,
P = 20,000
r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
F = double of initial amount = 2 * 20,000 = 40,000
We need to find t:

To solve exponentials, we can take Natural Log (Ln) of both sides:

Using the rule shown below we can simplify and solve:

We can write:

To the nearest year, that would be about 9 years
Each term has a common divisor of
:

133 = 7*19, so the number in the blanks is
.
D, 196,608.
The sequence is multiplying by -4 every time.
