Answer:
x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )
x² + 6x = 5
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9
(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± 
( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Then
x = - 3 - ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )
x = - 3 + ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Answer:
The solution set is the empty set.
Step-by-step explanation:
{x | x < 2} is the set of all numbers less than 2. This means x can take values such as 1.99, 0, -2000 and so on. That is, all values less than 2.
{x | x ≥ 2} is the set of all numbers equal to or greater than 2. This means x can take values such as 2, 2.1, 5000, and so on. That is, 2 or any value greater than 2.
Since there is no sign between the two sets, the question is asking for the intersection between these two sets. That is, what elements are common to these two sets? As we can see, the two sets don't have any common element. Hence, their intersection is the empty set.
(Note that the union of these two sets would be the set of all real numbers as that includes all elements from either set).
Answer:
(d) The functions are not inverses because for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function, there is no corresponding ordered pair (y, x) for the other function.
Step-by-step explanation:
If functions are represented by a table of ordered pairs, their inverse function is the set of ordered pairs with the x- and y-values swapped.
Here, for (x, y) = (0.75, 1038.18), the pair from the other table that begins to correspond is (y, x) = (0.75, 1057.81). These reversed pairs are not the same, so the functions are not inverses of each other.
_____
<em>Comment on the tables</em>
Table A is for a 5-year investment; table B is for a 7.5 year investment. They cannot be inverses of each other.
Answer:
There are about 48 shells in Mrs. Reeds collection.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 16 ounces per 1 pound.
4 ounces per shell.
16 x 12 = 192 ounces
192 ounces divided by 4 = 48
