Answer:

(a) The zeroes of f(x) are rational numbers

(b) The smallest integer value of a is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the quadratic function f(x) = ax² + bx + c, we can know the number and the types of its roots using the discriminant Δ, where Δ = b² - 4ac

If Δ > 0, then the zeroes are two different real numbers

If Δ = 0, then the zeroes are the same real number

If Δ < 0, then the zeroes are imaginary numbers

Note: In the first case if Δ is a perfect square number then the zeroes are rational, if not then the zeroes are irrational

(a)

∵ The equation function is f(x) = ax² + 11x + 12

∵ a = 2

∴ a = 2, b = 11 and c = 12

→ Substitute them in the rule of Δ

∵ Δ = (11)² - 4(2)(12) = 121 - 96

∴ Δ = 25

∵ Δ > 0

∴ f(x) has two different real zeroes

∵ 25 is a perfect square number

→ That means the zeroes of the function are rational numbers

∴ The zeroes of f(x) are rational numbers

(b)

∵ f(x) ha imaginary zeroes

→ By using the third rule above

∴ Δ < 0

∵ a = a, b = 11 and c = 12

→ Substitute them in the rule of Δ

∴ (11)² - 4(a)(12) < 0

∴ 121 - 48a < 0

→ Add 48a to both sides

∵ 121 - 48a + 48a < 0 + 48a

∴ 121 < 48a

→ Divide both sides by 48

∴ 2.52083 < a

∴ a > 2.52083

∵ The smallest integer greater than 2.52083 is 3

∴ The smallest integer value of a is 3

11. Mr Lee bought a second hand car for

Marrrta [24]

Answer :

Depends on the rate compound interest is accrued. See answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the compound interest formula which is:

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

It doesn't say how frequently the interest is compounded, so we will do monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

MONTHLY

So we know the car costs $25,480 and he made a down payment of $10,000. By subtracting the down payment from the purchase price we find the loan amount.

$25,480 - $10,000 = $15,480

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 12 (12 months in a year)

t = 2

Plug everything into the compound interest formula.

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{12*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{24}$

$A = 15480(1+.00396)^{24}$

$A = 15480(1.00396)^{24}$

$A = 15480*1.0992$

$A = $17016.14$

Mr. Lee paid $17,016.14 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded monthly.

QUARTERLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 4 (4 quarters in a year)

t = 2

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{4*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{8}$

$A = 15480(1+.0119})^{8}$

$A = 15480(1.0119)^{8}$

$A = 15480*1.099$

$A = 15480(1.099)$

$A = 17013.20$

Mr. Lee paid $17,013.20 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded quarterly.

YEARLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 1

t = 2

$A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{1})^{1*2}$

$A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{2}$

$A = 15480(1+.0475})^{2}$

$A = 15480(1.0475)^{2}$

$A = 15480*1.0973$

$A = 16985.53$

Mr. Lee paid $16,985.53 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded yearly.

N^2+16n+60 over 36-n^2

svetoff [14.1K]

Factor
36-n^2 is difference of 2 perfect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
6^2-n^2=(6-n)(6+n)
factor

n^2+16n+60
find what 2 numbers multiply to 60 and add to 16
factors of 60=2,2,3,5
the numbers are 10 and 6
so factored out
(x+6)(x+10)
(x+6)=(6+x)

so the equation is
[(x+6)(x+10)]/[(6+x)(6-x)]=[(6+x)/(6+x)] times (x+10)/((6-x)=1 times (x+10)/(6-x)

the answer is (x+10)/(6-x)
