Answer:

s ≈ - 0.5 , s ≈ 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

s² - 8s - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

s² - 8s = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides

s² + 2(- 4)s + 16 = 4 + 16

(s - 4)² = 20 ( take square root of both sides )

s - 4 = ± \sqrt{20} ( add 4 to both sides )

s = 4 ± \sqrt{20}

Then

s = 4 - \sqrt{20} ≈ - 0.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← smaller solution

s = 4 + \sqrt{20} ≈ 8.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← larger solution

Carl bought a DVD that cost $24.00 plus 8.25% sales tax. How much did Carl pay for this DVD in dollars and cents?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Carl paid $25.98 for this DVD in dollars and cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of the DVD was $24.00. If a sales tax of 8.25% was charged, it means that the original cost of the DVD would increase by 8.25%.

The value in dollar and cents of an 8.25% increment(sales tax) would be

8.25/100 × 24 = 0.0825 × 24

= $1.98

Therefore, the amount that Carl would pay for this DVD in dollars and cents is

24 + 1.98 = $25.98
