4.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

principal (p) = $300

time(t) = 3 years

interest (I ) =$40

rate (r) = ?

we know that,

I = (PTR)/100*

OR, 40 = (300 *3 * R)/100

or, 40 = (900R)/100

or, 40 = 9R

or, 40/9 = R

or, R = 4.4%

Rate(r) =4.4%

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
