Let's actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula:
<span>p(x)=x^2+x+3 gives us a=1, b=1 and c=3.
-1 plus or minus sqrt(1^2-4(1)(3))
Then x = -----------------------------------------------
2
The discriminant here is negative, so the roots x will be complex:
-1 plus or minus sqrt(-11) -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(11)
x = ---------------------------------- = -------------------------------------
2 2
These are irrational roots; they cannot be expressed as the ratios of integers.</span>
Let's say that Stan invested $1500 at 6%. To find how much he invested at 4.5% would be 5000 - 1500 = $3500. Now we have a pattern. Now let's say stan invested x dollars. Even though it is unknown, we can set up how much is left. So subtract x from 5000 or 5000 - x which is C
Answer:
