The answer of this equation is a^n=9(-1/4) (n+ 1)
Answer:
for the first week add 24 grams to the initial 37 grams which will add up to 61 grams. then on the second week take the 61 grams and add another 24 grams then you will have 85 grams in two weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
24 + 37 = 61
61 + 24 = 85
Answer:
Results are below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Today, average yearly tuition and fees for one year at the university are about $10,350.
I will assume a yearly interest rate of 8%.
<u>First, we need to calculate the total amount needed:</u>
Future value (FV)= 10,350*4= $41,400
<u>Now, using the following formula, the annual deposit required:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (41,400*0.08) / [(1.08^15) - 1]
A= $7,194.22

Part A) " (3x + 4) " units .

Part B) "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; <u>AND</u>: " (4x − 5y)" units."
_____________________________________________________
Explanation for Part A):
_____________________________________________________
Since each side length of a square is the same;
Area = Length * width = L * w ; L = w = s = s ;
in which: " s = side length" ;
So, the Area of a square, "A" = L * w = s * s = s² ;
{<u>Note</u>: A "square" is a rectangle with 4 (four) equal sides.}.
→ Each side length, "s", of a square is equal.
Given: s² = "(9x² + 24x + 16)" square units ;
Find "s" by factoring: "(9x² + 24x + 16)" completely:
→ " 9x² + 24x + 16 ";
Factor by "breaking into groups" :
"(9x² + 24x + 16)" =
→ "(9x² + 12x) (12x + 16)" ;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " (9x² + 24x + 16) " ;
_______________________________________________________
Let us start with the term:
_______________________________________________________
" (9x² + 12x) " ;
→ Factor out a "3x" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 3x (3x + 4) " ;
Then, take the term:
_______________________________________
→ " (12x + 16) " ;
And factor out a "4" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 4 (3x + 4) "
_______________________________________
We have:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
= " 3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) " ;
_______________________________________
Now, notice the term: "(3x + 4)" ;
We can "factor out" this term:
3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) =
→ " (3x + 4) (3x + 4) " . → which is the fully factored form of:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
____________________________________________________
→ Or; write: " (3x + 4) (3x + 4)" ; as: " (3x + 4)² " .
____________________________________________________
→ So, "s² = 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
Rewrite as: " s² = (3x + 4)² " .
→ Solve for the "positive value of "s" ;
→ {since the "side length of a square" cannot be a "negative" value.}.
____________________________________________________
→ Take the "positive square root of EACH SIDE of the equation;
to isolate "s" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "s" ;
→ ⁺√(s²) = ⁺√[(3x + 4)²] '
To get:
→ s = " (3x + 4)" units .
_______________________________________________________
Part A): The answer is: "(3x + 4)" units.

Explanation for Part B):
_________________________________________________________<span>
The area, "A" of a rectangle is:
A = L * w ;
in which "A" is the "area" of the rectangle;
"L" is the "length" of the rectangle;
"w" is the "width" of the rectangle;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " A = </span>(16x² − 25y²) square units" ;
→ We are asked to find the dimensions, "L" & "w" ;
→ by factoring the given "area" expression completely:
____________________________________________________
→ Factor: " (16x² − 25y²) square units " completely '
Note that: "16" and: "25" are both "perfect squares" ;
We can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ; as:
= " (4²x²) − (5²y²) " ; and further rewrite the expression:
________________________________________________________
Note:
________________________________________________________
" (16x²) " ; can be written as: "(4x)² " ;
↔ " (4x)² = "(4²)(x²)" = 16x² "
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 16x² = (4²x²) = (4x)² " .
_______________________________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________________________
→ " (25x²) " ; can be written as: " (5x)² " ;
↔ "( 5x)² = "(5²)(x²)" = 25x² " ;
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 25x² = (5²x²) = (5x)² " .
______________________________________________________
→ So, we can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ;
as: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ {Note: We substitute: "(4x)² " for "(16x²)" ; & "(5y)² " for "(25y²)" .} . ;
_______________________________________________________
→ We have: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ Note that we are asked to "factor completely" ;
→ Note that: " x² − y² = (x + y) (x − y) " ;
→ {This property is known as the "<u>difference of squares</u>".}.
→ As such: " (4x)² − (5y)² " = " (4x + 5y) (4x − 5y) " .
_______________________________________________________
Part B): The answer is: "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; AND: " (4x − 5y)" units."
