Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-36}{x+6}= \\\\\\\dfrac{(x-6)(x+6)}{x+6}= \\\\\\(x-6) \\\\\\f(-6)=((-6)-6)=-12

Therefore, the correct answer is choice A. Hope this helps!

Answer:

=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x^2-36)/(x+6)

Factor the numerator.  The numerator is the difference of squares  

(a^2 -b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

f(x) = (x-6)(x+6)/(x+6)

Cancel the like terms

f(x) = x-6

f(-6) = -6-6

       = -12

Cobalt-56 has a decay constant of 8.77 × 10-3 (which is equivalent to a half life of 79 days). How many days will it take for a
sweet-ann [11.9K]
As I read this one, is just a decay exponential equation... so

A = P(1 + r)ᵗ   where "t" is days passed. . hmm in this case is decay, so negative rate  A = P(1 - r)ᵗ, and the decimal amount would be 0.00877 for the rate

62% of P, the original value, is just 0.62P, now... if we hmm take P as just 1, it could be any amount, but 62% of 1,000,000 is just 62% of 1 times 1,000,000

so, for the sake of comparing it with a percentage, 1 will do

\bf 0.62P=P(1-0.00877)^t\implies P=1\implies 0.62=(1-0.00877)^t
\\\\\\
ln(0.62)=ln[(1-0.00877)^t]\implies ln(0.62)=t\cdot  ln(1-0.00877)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{ln(0.62)}{ln(0.99123)}=t
