Which of the following represents the set of possible rational roots for the
2 answers:
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
The plus/minus of the following: 1/2, 1, 2, 5/2, 4, 5, 10, 20
========================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the rational root theorem. To find the possible rational roots, we divide the factors of the last term 20 over the factors of the first coefficient 2.
- Factors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10,20
- Factors of 2 are: 1,2
Dividing those said factors leads us to the list in choice D. We include the positive and negative versions of each result. For example, divide 10 over 2 to get 10/2 = 5 as one possible root (which leads to -5 as well).
A table like the one shown below might be handy to keep track of all the terms.

The person would have to leave the money in the bank for 7.8 years for it to reach 13,500 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we must calculate how much interest is generated for a single year. The annual interest rate is 4.5% i.e. 4.5% of 10,000 dollars which equals 0.045 × 10,000 = 450 dollars a year. As the years pass, more and more will be put into the account due to interest.
Step 2; For there to be 13,500 dollars in the bank account we need to calculate how much money is added due to interest.
The money needed to be added through interest = 13,500 - 10,000 = 3,500 dollars.
So we need to determine how long it will take for the bank to add 3,500 dollars by adding 450 dollars a year.
The number of years to reach 13,500 dollars = = 7.777 years. By rounding this value to the nearest tenth, we get 7.8 years.
