Write the quadratic equation in general form and then choose the value of "b."

2 answers:

4 0

First of all to transfer (2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 into a form where we can plug it into the quadratic formula we need to use the FOIL method.

(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0
 becomes
2x*x+2x*6+-1*x+-1*6
which simplifies to
2x^2 + 12x - x - 6
and then we add like terms to get
2x^2 + 11x - 6

now that it is in the correct form we can identify "a" "b" and "c" by following this form
ax^2 + bx + c
looking back at the equation we got earlier
2x^2 + 11x - 6

a=2,b=11,and c=-6

What simple interest rate would allow $6000 to grow to an amount of $14550 in 10 years?

Harman [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \: 14.25 \: \% \: }}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Principal ( P ) = $ 6000

Amount ( A ) = $ 14550

Time ( T ) = 10 years

Rate ( R ) = ?

Finding the Interest

The sum of principal and interest is called an amount.

From the definition,

$\boxed{ \sf{Amount = \: Principal + Interest}}$

plug the values

⇒ $\sf{14550 = 6000 + Interest}$

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒ $\sf{6000 + Interest = 14550}$

Move 6000 to right hand side and change its sign

⇒ $\sf{Interest = 14550 - 6000}$

Subtract 6000 from 14550

⇒ $\sf{Interest = \: 8550 \: }$

Interest = $ 8550

Finding the rate 

${ \boxed{ \sf{Rate = \frac{Interest \times 100}{Principal \times Time}}}}$

plug the values

⇒ $\sf{ Rate = \frac{8550 \times 100}{6000 \times 10} }$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{Rate = \frac{855000}{60000} }$

⇒ $\sf{Rate = 14.25 \: \% \: }$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than 3 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 68 square inches, what is the

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Width=4, and Length=17

Step-by-step explanation:

first you will make a variable for the width which i will say is x

now make it an equation (3x+5) (x) = 68

then solve 3x^2+5x=68

then 3x^2+5x-68=0

then x=4

then you have to substitute so 3(4)+5= 17 and 4

What is the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence for which a1 = 30 and r= 1/2

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

3¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence also known as geometric progression, can be said to be a sequence with a constant ratio between the terms.

Formula for geometric sequence:

$a^n = a ( n-1 ) * r$

Given:

First term, a1 = 30

ratio, r = ½

Required:

Find the fourth term

Where, the first term, a¹ = 30

Second term: a² = 30 * ½ = 15

Third term: a³ = 15 * ½ = 7.5

Fourth term: a⁴ = 7.5 * ½ = 3.75 = 3¾

Therfore the fourth term of the geometric sequence is 3¾

Please help me with Questions 1 and 3 thank you

notka56 [123]

1) In a proportion: y/x=k

k is your constant of proportionality.

x is your independent variable and y is your dependent variable.

Since you need 3 oz of flour for each 2 oz of sugar, y=3 and x=2.

So k=1.5 (3/2)

a) y/x as a showed above. This question is very similar to #1.

b) y/x=k
