Okay, so this is what I came to. I think that you might need to look through the placement of the problem again and your x's, but other than that, here it is!

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.425=−250x2+6250x

Step 2: Subtract -250x^2+6250x from both sides.425−(−250x2+6250x)=−250x2+6250x−(−250x2+6250x)250x2−6250x+425=0

Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=250, b=-6250, c=425.x=−b±√b2−4ac2ax=−(−6250)±√(−6250)2−4(250)(425)2(250)x=6250±√38637500500x=252+110√15455 or x=252+−110√15455

Answer:x=252+110√15455 or x=252+−110√15455

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

64.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount N° = ?

Remaining amount after decay = N = ?

k = decay constant = 0.00012 $yr^{-1}$

t = time = 3650 year

fraction remaining will be N/N°

From the decay equation, N = N° $e^{-kt}$

N/N° = $e^{-kt}$

N/N° = $e^{-0.00012 x 3650 }$

N/N° = $e^{-0.438}$

N/N° = 0.645 = 64.5%

Hey, Guys, can someone help me with this

Lunna [17]

Answer:

A length=24ft, width=15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the side AB have x values of 5 and the side with CD have x values of 10 so the width from b to d or a to c is 5 so the width of the drawing is 5cm

the bottom side AC has y values of 8 and the top side BD has y values of 16 so they are 8 apart so the length of the rectangular drawing is 8cm

then the scale says that 1 cm = 3 ft so multiply the length and width each by 3 to get the answer that the length of the sail is 24ft and the width is 15ft

Hope this helps! :)
