Answer:

There are no simple factors to this expression. You can however solve for x, giving you:

x = -1 ± √(y + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no simple pair of factors to this equation, so we'll have to go through the full process. You can see that by observing that there is no pair of rational numbers that add to make 2 and multiply to make -2. We can however solve for x:

$y = x^2 + 2x - 2\\y + 2 = x^2 + 2x\\y + 3 = x^2 + 2x + 1\\y + 3 = (x + 1)^2\\(x + 1)^2 = y + 3\\x + 1 = \pm \sqrt{y + 3}\\x = -1 \pm \sqrt{y + 3}$

In planning her retirement, Liza deposits some money at 2.5% interest, with twice as much deposited at 4.5%. Find the amount dep

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Let us assume $x is deposit at 2.5% interest.

At the rate 4.5% deposited amount is twice of the amount deposited at 2.5%.

Therefore, at the rate 4.5% deposited amount = $2x.

Total interest earned by both different deposited amount at the rate 2.5% and at the rate 4.5% = $1150.

We can setup an eqation now,

Interest earned on $x at 2.5% + interest earned on $2 at 4.5% = $1150.

2.5% of x + 4.5% of 2x = 1150

Percentage could be written in decimals by dividing by 100.

Therefore, 2.5% = 2.5 /100= 0.025 and 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045.

We could rewrite above equation as,

0.025*x + 0.045 * 2x = 1150

0.025x + 0.09x =1150

Adding 0.025x + 0.09x, we get 0.115x.

So, 0.115x=1150.

Dividing both sides by 0.115.

0.115x/0.115=1150/0.115.

x= $1000.

2x= 2* 1000= $2000

Therefore,

$1000 deposited at 2.5% and $2000 deposited at 4.5%.

What is the recursive formula for this sequence . 10,14,18,22,26

Marrrta [24]

add 4 each time

the nth term is a_n or f(n)

the next term after that is a_{n+1} or f(n+1)

so each term is 4 more than previous

basically

a_{n+1}=4+a_n or

f(n+1)=4+f(n)

same thing

Ramona is a saleswoman whose base plus commissions amounted to $52,561 last year. If her base pay was $23,960 and she made $77,3

Ksju [112]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:

$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601

In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:

$\frac{p}{100}=\frac{28,601}{77,300}$ , where 'p' is her rate of commission

Cross-multiply and divide: 100(28601) = 77300x or 2,860,100 = 77,300x

Or x = 37%
