Which of the following is a soultion to the quadratic equation below x^2 - 3x - 54 =0

9 or -6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, I would suggest factoring.

You need to find two numbers which can be multiplied for 54 and also combined in some way to get 3. In this case, 9 and 6 are perfect.

Next, you can set both of your terms equal to zero to find your possible solutions.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
