Answer:

d) 16x² -56x +49

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial difference will have the form ...

(ax -b)² = a²x² -2abx +b²

The sign of the linear term will be negative, which eliminates choices A and C.

The linear term will be double the product of the roots of the other two terms.

In choice B, the linear term has a factor of 5 that appears nowhere else, so that cannot be a perfect square.

Choice D factors as ...

16x² -56x +49 = (4x -7)² . . . . the square of a difference

You want to put some money in a simple interest account it pays 8% interest annually for 2 years you would like to earn 500 doll

Semmy [17]

You deposit some money into a bank account paying 8% simple interest per year. You received $500 in interest after 2 years. How much the deposit (principal) was?

Result

The principal was $3125.

Explanation

Find principal by using the formula I=P⋅i⋅t, where I is interest, P is total principal, i is rate of interest per year, and t is total time in years.

In this example I = $500, i = 8% and t = 2 years, so

IPPP=P⋅i⋅t=Ii⋅t=5000.08⋅2=3125
