What do you mean by that?
The answer to this question would be: 17 years
The <span>interest rate is 3.8% compounded twice a year. The function of the saving account amount would be:
f(x)= </span><span>4,790.23* (1+ 0.038/2)^2x
</span>f(x)= 4,790.23* (1.019)^2x
Then for f(x)= 9,000 the x value would be:
9,000= 4,790.23* (1.019)^2x
9,000/4,790.23= (1.019)^2x
1.8788= (1.019)^2x
<span>2x=34
</span>x=17
Answer:
q = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x²-8x = 10 (divide both sides by -2)
x² + 4x = -5 (Apply completing the square method)
x² + 4x + (4/2)²= -5 + (4/2)²
x² + 4x + 2²= -5 + 2² (reduce left hand side using a²+2ab+b² = (a+b)² )
(x+2)² = -5 +4
(x+2)² = -1
(x+2)² + 1 = 0 (multiply both sides by -2)
(-2)(x+2)² + 1 (-2) = 0
-2[x - (-2)]² + (-2) = 0 ---> compare this with -2(x-p)² + q = 0
We can see that p = 2 and q = -2
