After t years, the total amount of money is:
In this question:

She has to invest P today.

So



Sarah has to invest $502,958.58 today.
Answer:
1). 2x^2-3x+20
2). 4x^2-14x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (x-4)(2x+5)
FOIL:
(x)(2x)+5(x)-8(x)+(4)(5)
2x^2+5x-8x+20
=2x^2-3x+20
2. (4x-2)(x-3)
FOIL:
(4x)(x)-(3)(4x)-2(x)-2(-3)
4x^2-12x-2x+6
=4x^2-14x+6
Answer:
True depending on what you are comparing it to.
Step-by-step explanation:
A pulley would help lighten the load that you are trying to pull up, which may make it easier for you to get the load to your designated area. The more complicated it is, usually the more 'lighter' it becomes, or the less force you have to exert.
For example, you will have to give a 100% energy in trying to life a heavy box. However, if you use a simple pulley (only one), you may only have to exert 75% more energy, for the weight is significantly lower.

In this question, there are 3 conditions that need to be met
1. The number is 3-digit
2. Hundreds digit >7 (number that will fulfill it would be 8 or 9)
3. The tens is 1 more than hundred( since the hundred possibilities is 8 or 9, then 9 in hundreds can't be used since no number higher than 9)
4. The one digit <2( that mean 0, 1)
Using the list above, you can make your possible number:
890
891
Expand the left side:
(3x + 2) (5x + 1) = 15x² + 10x + 3x + 2 = 15x² + 13x + 2
Then a = 15 and b = 13, so a - b = 2.
