Answer:
A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.
B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.
Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).
To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:
12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:
12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.
4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.
(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.
4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.
x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.
It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6x5 can also be 6+6+6+6+6
3+3+3+3 can also be 3x4
5+5+5+5+5 can also be 25
3x3 can be 3+3+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Option B. The balance will increase more and more each year, but it will not be linear. Unlike simple interest that tends to produce linear graphs; the returns when compounded can get very astronomical. The mathematics behind compound interest is "multiplication". Your funds get multiplied, not added or decreased and this is because the previous interest is accrued on the principal and the current interest. Unlike compound interest simple interest is linear, it increases (or decreases) steadily. As time goes on with simple interest, one's returns increases very steadily but this is unlike compound interest. So yes, Option B, the balance will increase more and more each year, but it will not be linear.
