Answer:
I believe 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is
A=p (1-r)^t
A future value?
P present value 180
R rate of decreases 0.6
T time 2 years
A=180×(1−0.6)^(2)
A=180×(0.4)^(2)
A=28.8
Notice that half of the coefficient of x is (1/2)(-4), or -2.
Then x^2 - 4x becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 = 0, or (x -2)^2 = 4. Then x = -2 plus or minus 2, and the two roots are 0 and -4.
Thus, add 4 to both sides to obtain x^2 - 4x + 4 = 4.
