Answer:

3 (4 a - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 a (3 - a) + 3 (a^2 - 3) + 3 a

3 a (3 - a) = 9 a - 3 a^2:

9 a - 3 a^2 + 3 (a^2 - 3) + 3 a

3 (a^2 - 3) = 3 a^2 - 9:

3 a^2 - 9 - 3 a^2 + 9 a + 3 a

Grouping like terms, 3 a^2 - 3 a^2 + 9 a + 3 a - 9 = (9 a + 3 a) - 9 + (-3 a^2 + 3 a^2):

(9 a + 3 a) - 9 + (-3 a^2 + 3 a^2)

9 a + 3 a = 12 a:

12 a - 9 + (-3 a^2 + 3 a^2)

3 a^2 - 3 a^2 = 0:

12 a - 9

Factor 3 out of 12 a - 9:

Answer: 3 (4 a - 3)

Answer:

12a−9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

=(3a)(3)+(3a)(−a)+(3)(a2)+(3)(−3)+3a

=9a+−3a2+3a2+−9+3a

Combine Like Terms:

=9a+−3a2+3a2+−9+3a

=(−3a2+3a2)+(9a+3a)+(−9)

=12a+−9

What are the verter and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?<br> y=x2-2x-35

horsena [70]

For x intercepts, plug in 0 for y.

0 = (x^2) - 2x - 35

*factoring* = (x-7)(x+5)

x intercepts = 7,-5

As for the vertex, you can use the equation -b/2a for the x-coordinate of the vertex

so,

x = -b/2a = -(-2)/2 = 1

then just find the y value by plugging it back in to the equation.

y = ((1)^2) - 2(1) - 35

= -36

so, vertex is at (1,-36)

Write any 4 laws of exponents.<br>

emmainna [20.7K]

$\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Question:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

<em>Write any 4 laws, or properties, of exponents.</em>

<em />

<em> </em> $\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

$\Large\text{Law number 1:-}$

$\Large\text{$a^n*a^m=a^{n+m}$}$

$\Large\text{It states that:-}$

When we multiply together numbers with the same base,

we add the exponents.

$\Large\text{Law number 2:-}$

$\Large\text{$a^m:a^n=a^{m-n}$}$

$\Large\text{It states that:-}$

When we divide numbers with the same base, we

subtract the exponents.

$\Large\text{Law number 3:-}$

$\Large\text{$(\displaystyle\frac{x}{y}) ^n=\frac{x^n}{y^n}$}$

$\Large\text{It states that:-}$

If we have a fraction to a power, we raise the numerator and

the denominator to that power.

And then last but not least,

$\Large\textit{Law number 4:-}$

$\Large\text{$a^{-m} =\displaystyle\frac{1}{a^m}$}$

$\Large\text{It states that:-}$

If we have a number with a negative exponent, we flip it over.

A hospital uses cobalt-60 in its radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients. Cobalt-60 has a half-life of 7

NeTakaya

Answer:

We have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the decay equation.

$M_{f}=M_{i}e^{-\lambda t}$

Where:

M(f) and M(i) are the final and initial mass respectively
λ is the decay constant (ln(2)/t(1/2))
t(1/2) is the half-life of Co
t is the time at the final amount of m

$M_{f}=228e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{7} 1.5}$

$M_{f}=197\: g$

<u>Therefore, we have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.</u>

I hope it helps you!
