A closed dot mean "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to"
An open dot means "less than" or "greater than"
In this case, an open dot would mean
X>-2
Ok so formula is <span>A=p(1+r)^t
</span>A=600 (1+.016)squared
A=$619.35
Hope that helped :)
This can be solved by factoring.
First, set the expression equal to zero.

Then, find two the factors of

whose sum is

.

Split

into these two factors.

Next, factor by grouping.

By the Zero Product Property, set each factor equal to zero.


These are the solutions. The Complex Conjugate Root Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra both state that, in essence, real and imaginary solutions come in pairs of two and every polynomial of degree

has exactly

complex roots, but real roots are also complex roots. That sounds confusing, but this just means that you're done.
Your answers are -2 and 1/3. There are two real roots.
Answer:
The population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of the town was 60,000 in the beginning of 2016.
In 2016, the total population is increased by 15%.

Therefore the population is increased by 9000 and the population of the town at the end of 2016 was

In 2017, the total population is decreased by 5%.

Therefore the population is decreased by 3450 and the population of the town at the end of 2017 was

Therefore the population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.
