Answer:
x equals plus or minus square root of 5 minus 1
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Divide by 2 the coefficient of the x-term

squared the number

Adds both sides

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables f and L. Use the numeric value given for n in the introduction.
T = ___________ s
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Thickness og glass = L
Index of refraction n=1.5
Frequency = f

λ(air) 
λ(glass) = λ(air) / n
= 
= 
= 
V(glass) = fλ(glass)


Answer256pi
Step-by-step explanation:
Area=pi*r^2
=pi*16^2
256pi
Assuming that b>0 and c>0:
log(a)=3×log(b)-2×log(c)=
log(b³)-log(c²)=
log(b³/c²)
Hence a=b³/c²
