Ok let’s solve it
5(x-2)^2-20=0
first let’s foil (x-2)
5(x^2-4x+4) -20=0
now distribute the 5
5x^2 -20x +20 -20 = 0
combine like terms
5x^2-20x=0
take the gcf
5x(x-4)=0
x=0, 4
solutions are (4,0) and (2, -20) because the original vertex form a(x-h)^2+k
Answer:
B. $136,960.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate = r = 4%
Times = b = 4
Future Value = A = $315,930
No. pf Years = n = 21
Present Value = P = ?
A = P [1 + (r / b)]ⁿᵇ
$315,930 = P [1 + (0.04 / 4]²¹ ˣ ⁴
$315,930 = P [1 + 0.01]⁸⁴
$315,930 = P [1.01]⁸⁴
$315,930 = P x 2.306723
P = $315,930 / 2.306723
P = $136,960.54
4:3 (simplified) and 16:12 (doubled) both work
Hope this helps!
