17) replace the given number for "x" and evaluate
a) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
3² + 2(3) + 1
= 9 + 6 + 1
= 16
b) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = -4
(-4)² + 2(-4) + 1
= 16 - 8 + 1
= 9
c) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
(-22.872)² + 2(-22.872) + 1
= 523.128384 - 45.744 + 1
= 478.384384
18) The dependent variable is affected by the other variable and is the "output" The independent variable is the input.
a) y = 3x - 5; "x" is the independent variable
b) the time of day is the independent variable (you would input the time of day to calculate the temperature).
19) Let the x-axis represent the length of the lumber cut off and the y-axis represent the length of the lumber remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
where
I is the Final Interest Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
Part a) account that paid 6% simple interest per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
Part b) account that paid 5% simple interest per year
in this problem we have
substitute in the formula above
we know that

substitute and solve for x




therefore
In the account that paid 6% Susan invest

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-4(-5x + 2) - 3x - 5 = -30
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Distribute -4:</u> 20x - 8 - 3x - 5 = -30
<u>Combine like terms:</u> 17x - 13 = -30
<u>Add 13 on both sides:</u> 17x = -17
<u>Divide both sides by 17:</u> x = -1
