Answer:
$471.65
Step-by-step explanation:
-The value of the laptop after each year is calculated by the formula:
where:
is the value at time t
is the initial value
is the rate of depreciation
is the time
#We substitute the values to solve for the value after 3 years(2010-2007=3):
Hence, the value of the laptop in 2010 is $471.65
To find it it is
ax^2+bx+c
if the first term (a) is 1 then c=b/2
b=-1/4
(-1/4)/2=-1/4 times 1/2=-1/8
k=-1/8
Answer:
4 - 3j
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 7/3
quadratic formula
don’t know if that’s the method ur teacher wanted u to answer
Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
