Answer:
(x+5/2)^2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
4 x^{2} +20x +25 =0
Divide by 4
4/4 x^{2} +20/4x +25/4 =0
x^2 +5x +25/4 =0
Subtract 25/4 from each side
x^2 +5x +25/4 -25/4 =-25/4
x^2 +5x =-25/4
Take the coefficent of x
5
Divide by 2
5/2
Square it
25/4
Add it to each side
x^2 +5x +25/4 =-25/4+25/4
(x+5/2)^2 = 0
Take the square root of each side
x+5/2 = 0
x = -5/2
37,800 since it depreciates by 8% of the original price each year
Since the bases are all 13, keep the base and add the powers.
13^(-11 + 16 + -3 + 4 + -5)
13^1 = 13
