Answer:
4(k - 3)(3k + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
12k² - 16k - 60 ← factor out 4 from each term
= 4(3k² - 4k - 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the k² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the k term
product = 3 × - 15 = - 45 , sum = - 4
Factors are - 9 and + 5
Use these factors to split the middle term
3k² - 9k + 5k - 15 → ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms
= 3k(k - 3) + 5(k - 3) ← factor out (k - 3)
= (k - 3)(3k + 5)
Hence
12k² - 16k - 60 = 4(k - 3)(3k + 5) ← in factored form
Before we start answering the question, let's define the compound interest formula:
Where:
<span>'A'</span> is the amount of money in dollars
'P' is the principal amount of money in dollars
'r' is the interest rate (decimal)
'n' is the number of times interest is compounded per year
't' is the time in years
<span>
(A) Find Principal Amount</span><u /><span><u>Given:</u>
</span>A = 12,000
P = ?
r = 0.08
n = 2 (semiannually)
t = 5
Now we plug our values in and solve:



∴ You would have to deposit $8106.77 in order to have $12,000 in 5 years from now.
(B) Find Principal AmountSame given values as above, with the exception of 't' which is now 10 instead of 5.



∴ You would have to deposit $5476.64 in order to have $12,000 in 10 years from now.
Hope this helps!
A) 51, assuming this is a *right* triangle:
38^2+34^2 = 50.99^2, rounding 51!!
Answer:
a) 18 grapefruits
b) 6 grapefruits
Step-by-step explanation:
a) n = 14.4 / 0.80 = 18 grapefruits
b) n = (14.4 / 3) / 0.8 = 6 grapefruits
2. The three points you need to mark on this graph are (1,2) (2,3) and (4,5); you then draw a line through all of these points and determine whether the inches of rainfall is proportionate to the number of hours.
You mark those 3 points because at 1 hour, 2 inches of rain has fallen; at 2 hours, 3 inches of rain has fallen; and at 4 hours, 5 inches of rain has fallen
