Answer:
x = 2.36603 or 0.633975
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to solve the quadratic equation using the completing the square method.
2x^2-6x + 3 = 0
divide through by 2 first;
x^2 -3x + 3/2 = 0
x*2 -3x = -3/2
Half the x term will be -3/2 and squaring it is 9/4
we add this to both sides
x^2-3x/2 + 9/4 = -3/2 + 9/4
(x-3/2)^2 = 3/4
Finding square root of both sides
x-3/2 = √(3/4)
x = 3/2 ± √(3/4)
x = 3/2 + √(3/4) or x = 3/2-√(3/4)
which becomes
x = 2.36603 or 0.633975
Answer:
$4,116
Step-by-step explanation:
Worth of Mike's car at the start of 2014 = $12,000
If the car is said to depreciates every year by 30% = 30/100 = 0.3
The worth of the car at the start of 2017 is what we are to determine.
This means that the car depreciated by 30% (0.3) for 3 years since 2014 (2017 - 2014 = 3 yrs)
The worth at the start of 2017 would be calculated as follows:
12,000 × (1 - 0.3)³
= 12,000 × (0.7)³
= 12,000 × 0.343
= 4,116
Worth of the car at the start of 2017 would be $4,116
Answer:
D. 7.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a Normal Distribution:
Q1 = mean - (0.675) * standard deviation
= 8.5 - 0.675*1.8
= 7.285.

Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 3 and solve the resulting 2-step equation.
5 = (1/3)(2x +12)
15 = 2x +12 . . . . . . multiply by 3
3 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
3/2 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
