| Complete the Square: b^2+4b | b^2+4b= (4*.5)^2 =2^2=4, SO: b^2+4b+4 is the perfect square trinomial, now FACTOR: (b+2)^2=0, THEN: √(b+2)^2=√0, b=-2

| Solve by Completing the Square: 2x^2-8x+3=0 | Divide by 2: 2x^2/2-8x/2=-3/2, x^2-4x=-3/2, THEN: (4*.5)^2=4, SO: x^2-4x+4=11/2 AND: (x-2)^2=11/2 NEXT: √(x-2)^2=√11/2, FINALLY: x=2+/-√11/2

| What do the formulas I=Prt AND A=P(1+r)^t help to solve? | Simple and Compound Interest problems
🗑

| Using A=P(1+r)^t, Solve: Find the interest rate r, if $4000 compounded annually grows to $4540 in 2 years. | 4540=4000(1+r)^2 DIVIDE: 4540/4000=4000(1+r)^2/4000 SO, 1.135=(1+r)^2 SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY: √1.135=√(1+r)^2 EQUALS: +/-1.06=1+r, -1+/-1.06=r, SO NOW: KEEP -1+1.06=0.06 to find: r=6%

| Calculate the Simple Interest Problem using I=Prt: $2,000 is invested at the simple interest rate 5% annually for 1 year. | I=2000*.05*1 SO: I=100 The simple interest earned in 1 year is $100, bringing the annual total to $2,100
