Answer:
a = - 2, b = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.
x² +(a + 1)x + b
x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is
4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0
2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)
x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is
9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0
12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a + b = - 12 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b
5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = - 2
Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b
Substituting into (2)
3(- 2) + b = - 12
- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
b = - 6
Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6
It should be 0.3181818181818 so it would be a repeating decimal
I don’t understand the equation. What am I solving for?
Step-by-step explanation:
i = interest 3% for 30 years
This is a simple dynamical system for whom the the solutions are given as

putting values we get
S=2000[\frac{(1.03)^{30}-1}{0.03}](1.03)
= $98005.35
withdrawal of money takes place from one year after last payment
To determine the result we use the present value formula of an annuity date
we need to calculate R so putting the values and solving for R we get
R= $6542.2356
