Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 17x +10 =0
(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0
We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10
They are positive since we have all positive terms
3*5 = 15+2 = 17
The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside
(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
That leaves the 2 on the inside
(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
Using the zero product property
3x+2 =0 x+5=0
3x = -2 x=-5
x = -2/3 x = -5
Answer:
z = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of equations is:
xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)
xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)
yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)
From (1): x + y = xy
=> y = xy - x
y = x(y - 1)
x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)
From (2): 2(x + z) = xz
=> 2x + 2z = xz
2x = xz - 2z
2x = z(x - 2)
z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)
From (3): 3(y + z) = yz
=> 3y + 3z = yz
3y = yz - 3z
3y = z(y - 3)
z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)
Comparing (5) and (6)
2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)
2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)
2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y
6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)
But from (1): xy = x + y
Using this in (7), we have
6(y - x) = x + y
6y - y - 6x - x = 0
5y - 7x = 0
5y = 7x
x = 5y/7................................................(8)
Using this in (4)
5y/7 = y/(y - 1)
1/(y - 1) = 5/7
(y - 1) = 7/5
y = 1 + 7/5
y = 12/5..........................................(9)
Using this in (8)
x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)
Using (10) in (5)
z = 2x/(x - 2)
z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)
= 24/7 ÷ -2/7
= 24/7 × (-7/2)
= -24/2 = -12
z = -12.
Answer:
32 people
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3/4 equals 24, we need to find the other fourth. We can divided the total number of people by the numerator. 24/8, then add 8, which equals 32.
Answer:
Option 4.7% = 3,500 x 4.7% =$164.50 simple annual interest.
82.25 this is what Scott will pay in 6 months at simple interest.
Option 4.2% =3,500 x (1 +0.042/12)^6 =3,500 x 1.0035^6=$3,574.15.
3,500 =$74.15 this is what Scott will pay in 6 months at compounded interest.
The compound option is cheaper by: 74.15 =$8.10.
