That is correct as 17 is a prime number and can only be divided by 1 and itself
Hope this helps :)
15% of what number is 36
15% of 36=5.4
C = 10m + 30, where C is total cost and m is # of months
C = 10(5) + 30
C = 50 + 30
C = $80
$160 = 10m + 30
160 - 30 = 10m
130/10 = m
m = 13 months
Hope that helps
What you must do in this case is to find the roots of the polynomial.
We have then:
x ^ 2 + 20x + 100 = 36
Rewriting:
x ^ 2 + 20x + 64 = 0
The values of the roots are:
x1 = -4
x2 = -16
Remember that the values of the roots are what make the polinome zero
Answer:
x1 = -4
x2 = -16
