(x - 4)(x - 4)=0. Then, (x - 4)=0 and (x - 4) =0.

In both cases, x is 4. Thus, you have a double real root: {4, 4}.

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 =  

16 - x

(x - 4)2 = 16 - x

x2 - 8x + 16 = 16 - x

-x2 + 7x = 0

-(x(x - 7)) = 0

multiple both sides by -1:

x(x - 7) = 0

x = 0 or x = 7

Check solutions:

x = 7 ⇒

7 - 4 =  

16 - 7

3 =  

9

3 = 3

x = 7 is a solution

x = 0 ⇒

0 - 4 =  

16 - 0

-4 =  

16

-4 ≠ 4

x = 0 is not a solution (extraneous root)

You wish to borrow $8000 for debt consolidation. The bank's interest rate for a personal loan is 7.2%. What is your monthly paym
Lisa [10]
<h3>The monthly payment  is $242.44 for loan to paid off in 3 years.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount borrowed = Principal = $8000

The rate of interest = 7.2%

Time (T)  = 3 years

Now, Simple Interest = \frac{P\times R \times T}{100}

\implies SI  = \frac{8000 \times 7.2  \times 3}{100}  = 1,728

So, the total interest = $1728

Now, <u>Amount to be paid  = Principal + Interest</u>

⇒ A = $8000 + $1728  = $8728

Also, 1 year = 12 months

⇒  3 years  = 3 x 12 months  = 36 months

So, total amount to be paid in 36 months is $8728.

⇒The  amount to be paid in 1 month is (\frac{8728}{36} )  = 242.44

Hence, the monthly payment  is $242.44 if loan is to paid off in 3 years.

A geometric sequence is defined by the general term tn = 75(5n), where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula of the sequ
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, t_n=5t_{n-1}.

From the general form,
t_n=75(5)^n, we must work backward to find t₁.

The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
t_n=t_1(r)^{n-1}.  We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us

t_n=t_1(5)^{n-1}

Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
t_n=t_1(5)^n(5)^{-1}

We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
t_n=t_1(\frac{1}{5})(5)^n&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{t_1}{5}(5)^n

Comparing this to our general form, we see that
\frac{t_1}{5}=75

Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375

The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
t_n=t_{n-1}(r), while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us

t_1=375; t_n=t_{n-1}(5)
