Answer:
That can be re-written:
x^2 + 5x -8 = 0
We use the Quadratic Formula
a=1
b = 5
c = -8
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [-5 +- sq root (25 - - 32)] / 2
x1 = [-5 + sq root (57)] / 2
x1 = 1.27491722
x2 = [-5 - sq root (57)] / 2
x2 = -6.2749172176
Step-by-step explanation:
0.888=8/9; therefore the contstant of proportionality or k is (8/9,1)
Well, you only listed three pieces so far. But I can already see a
pattern emerging from those three.
Of course, the next piece might return to 1-1/2 inches. I mean,
the pattern can't just keep on going and increasing forever or
Cody would eventually wind up with pieces that are a mile long.
It must eventually return to 1-1/2 inches and start over from there.
From the first piece to the second one, and from the second one
to the third one, the increase is 5/16 inch both times. So if the
pattern is more than three pieces long before it starts over from
1-1/2, then the next piece is
(2-1/8 + 5/16) = (2-2/16 + 5/16) = 2-7/16 inches .
In order to use the simple interest formula, we first define the variables. The interest would be equal to Samuel's desired amount $ 2,488 minus the principal amount of $ 1,800 which is then equal to $ 688. The rate must be in decimal form which is equal to 0.12 while t is expressed in years. Substituting the values, t is equal to 3. Thus, it will take 36 <span>months for Samuel's account balance to reach $2,448. </span>
