For sp3d hybridized central atoms, the only possible molecular geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.

Hybridisation (or hybridization) is a process of mathematically combining two or more atomic orbitals from the same atom to form an entirely new orbital different from its components and hence being called as a hybrid orbital.

In this case, if all the bonds are in place, the shape is also trigonal bipyramidal.

In chemistry, a trigonal bipyramid formation is a molecular geometry with one atom at the center and 5 more atoms at the corners of a triangular bipyramid.

Bond angle(s): 90°, 120°

Coordination number: 5

Point group: D3h

The graph of an exponential function passes through the point (0,15) and (1,10). What is the equation of the exponential functio

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$y=15(\frac{2}{3})^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential function is of the form

$y=a(b^x)$

where

a is the initial value or y-intercept

b is the base of the exponential function

In this problem we have

$a=15$ ----> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=15(b^x)$

we have the other ordered pair (1,10)

substitute the value of x and the value of y and solve for b

$10=15(b^1)\\10=15b$

$b=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

substitute

$y=15(\frac{2}{3})^x$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 7 = 0, where x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 ti

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

Required

Solve for x using:

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

First, we need to identify a, b and c

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

So, by comparison with $x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

$a = 1$ $b = -5$ $c = -7$

Substitute these values of a, b and c in

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$x = \frac{-(-5) \± \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * -7}}{2 * 1}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{25 +28}}{2}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Split the expression to two

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

To solve further in decimal form, we have

$x = \frac{5 + 7.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - 7.28}{2}$

$x = \frac{12.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{-2.28}{2}$

$x = 6.14$ or $x = -1.14$
