so... what does that give you for the discriminant?
if it's a negative value, no solutions
if it's a positive value, two solutions
if it's 0, one solution
Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let Teo's age be represented as x
Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x
and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as
x + 5+ 2x = 26
Step 2 --- SOLVING
x + 5+ 2x = 26
3x+ 5= 26
3x= 26-5
3x= 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Teo's age = 7 years
Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years
Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.
A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.
2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n
2800 = 1900(1.025)^n
2800/1900 = (1.025)^n
28/19 = (1.025)^n
take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.
ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)
power rule of logarithmic moves exponent
ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)
ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n
put into a calculator
15.7 years = n
