Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-3/10 = (-5--8)/(-5-x)

-3/10 = (-5+8)/(-5-x)

Using cross multiplication

-3 (-5-x) = 10*(-5+8)

Simplify

-3(-5-x) =10(3)

Divide by -3

-3/-3(-5-x) =10(3)/-3

-5-x = -10

Add 5 to each side

-5-x+5 = -10+5

-x=-5

Divide by -1

x=5

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression √3/√8, we can first simplify the square root terms by finding the prime factorization of each number under the square root. The prime factorization of 3 is 3, and the prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2.

We can then rewrite the square root terms as follows:

√3/√8 = √(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2)

Next, we can use the property of square roots that says that the square root of a number is equal to the square root of each of its prime factors. This means that we can rewrite the square root term as follows:

√(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2) = √(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2)

Since the square root of a number is the same as the number itself, we can simplify the expression further by removing the square root symbols from the prime numbers 2:

√(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2) = √(3) / 2 / 2 / 2

Finally, we can use the rules of division to simplify the expression even further:

√(3) / 2 / 2 / 2 = √(3) / (2 * 2 * 2)

Since any number divided by itself is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression one last time to get our final answer:

√(3) / (2 * 2 * 2) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression √3/√8 is 1/8.

A toxic radioactive substance with the density of 4 mg/cm² is detected in the been detected in the ventilating ducts that was us
Kruka [31]
The formula for half-life is:

A = P(0.5)^{t/h}

A is the amount remaining, P is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, and h is the half-life of the substance.  Plug in the values that you know and solve:

4 = P(0.5)^{35/20} \\ \\ 4 = P(0.5)^{1.75} \\ \\ P = \frac{4}{0.5^{1.75}} \\ \\ P \approx 13.4543426441

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the density of the substance was about 13<span>mg / cm².</span>
