For a perfect square
b² = 4*a*c
Comparing ax² + bx + c = 0 to x² + bx + 16
a = 1, c = 16
<span>b² = 4*a*c
</span>
<span>b² = 4*1*16
</span>
<span>b² = 64
</span>
b = √64
b = 8
The value of b = 8.
Answer:
12 = 12
Step-by-step explanation: equal integer theorem.
1)
A has a greater principal
2)
Principal of A is $500, the principal of B is $400, so A's principal is greater by $100
3)
Annual interest rate of A:
10/500 x 100
interest rate of A = 2%
The interest rate of B is higher.
4)
B's annual interest rate is 5% and A's annual interest rate is 2%, so B's is higher by 3%.
