Airida [17]3 years ago

Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
y= \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-(4\times(-12))} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{148} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm 2\sqrt{37} }{2} = -5\pm\sqrt{37}

Therefore, the two numbers are -5+\sqrt{37} and -5-\sqrt{37}

How many solutions can be found for the equation 5x + 3(x − 1) = 10x − 2x − 3?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

4. Infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3(x − 1) = 10x − 2x − 3

5x+3x-3=8x-3

5x+3x-8x=3-3

0=0

Fishermen fishing for spiny lobster are allowed to keep only lobsters with a carapace length of 3.25 inches or longer. (Than car
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by solving for the z score

We have the following information

x = 3.25

Standard deviation = sd = 2.25

Mean = 5.50

Z = (x - mean)/sd

z = 3.25 - 5.50/2 25

z = -1.00

If we look this up in the standard normal distribution table,

P(z<-1.00) = 0.1587

Which when approximated gives us

16%

Therefore approximately 16% of lobsters will have to be returned back to the sea.

adiocarbon dating of blackened grains from the site of ancient Jericho provides a date of 1315 BC ± 13 years for the fall of the
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659 and \left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the isotope decay is:

\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

14-Carbon has a half-life of 5568 years, the time constant of the isotope is:

\tau = \frac{5568\,years}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 8032.926\,years

The decay time is:

t = 1315\,years + 2007\,years \pm 13\,years (There is no a year 0 in chronology).

t = 3335 \pm 13\,years

Lastly, the relative amount is estimated by direct substitution:

\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\mp\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }

\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{-\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }

\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659

\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }

\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661
