Answer:
<em>The uniform rate of depreciation is $56,333 per year, or 11% per year.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of Depreciation</u>
If some object has a certain value P and after some time t its value decreases to Q, the rate of depreciation is a measure of how much its value changed per unit time.
It can be calculated as:
It can also be expressed as a percentage, dividing the previous value by P.
The school bus reduces its value from $512,000 to $343,000 in 3 years, thus:
R = 56,333 $/year
Expressed as a percentage:
R = 56,333 / 512,000 = 0.11
R = 11%/year
The uniform rate of depreciation is $56,333 per year, or 11% per year.

Answer:
When we have a quadratic equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
There is something called the determinant, and this is:
D = b^2 - 4*a*c
If D < 0, then the we will have complex solutions.
In our case, we have
5*x^2 - 10*x + c = 0
Then the determinant is:
D = (-10)^2 - 4*5*c = 100 - 4*5*c
And we want this to be smaller than zero, then let's find the value of c such that the determinant is exactly zero:
D = 0 = 100 - 4*5*c
4*5*c = 100
20*c = 100
c = 100/20 = 5
As c is multiplicating the negative term in the equation, if c increases, then we will have that D < 0.
This means that c must be larger than 5 if we want to have complex solutions,
c > 5.
I can not represent this in your number line, but this would be represented with a white dot in the five, that extends infinitely to the right, something like the image below:
Answer:
<u>Remove "x" and add</u>
-2 + 9 = 7
<u>Add "x" back</u>
7 -----> 7x
Note: When adding/subtracting problems like these remove "x" and then add/subtract normaly. When you get your answer put x back.
