144
Step-by-step explanation:
36 x 4
The quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2 if the discriminant is 0, which is

(That is, for a quadratic
, the discriminant is
.)
Set the discriminant equal to 0 and solve for
:





The answer is 79 and 80.
x - the number of the first locker
x + 1 - the number of the consecutive locker
Their sum is 159.
x + x + 1 = 159
2x + 1 = 159
2x = 159 - 1
2x = 158
x = 158 / 2
x = 79
x - the number of the first locker: x = 79
x + 1 - the number of the consecutive locker x + 1 = 79 + 1 = 80
125 is the correct answer but you answered yourself?
First year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 20000 = £7000; now the value of the car is £20000 - £7000 = £13000;
Second year: the depreciation is (35/100) x 13000 = £4550; the current value of the car is £13000 - £4550 = £8450.
