1st half life: 195/2 = 97.5 g
2nd half life: 97.5/2 = 48.75 g
3rd half life: 48.7/2 = 24.375 g
4th half life: 24.375/2 = 12.1875 g
5th half life: 12.1875/2 = 6.09375 g
or you can do
195(2)^(-5) = 6.09375
** rounded to nearest gram = 6 g
S^2 + 9s - 142 > 2000
s^2 + 9s - 142 - 2000 > 0
s^2 + 9s - 2142 > 0
(s-42)(s+51) > 0
s - 42 > 0
s > 42
s + 51 > 0
s > -51.......will not work
answer is : s > 42
The 3 hour Cindy will finish 4 different puzzles

Answer:
(C) 2√15
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.
... CB/CA = CT/CB
... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values
... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

<em>Comment on this solution</em>
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...
... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above
This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
In this case it is to find the roots of the polynomial.
We have then:
2x ^ 2-5x + 1 = 3
Rewriting:
2x ^ 2-5x-2 = 0
Applying resolver we have
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Substituting values:
x = (- (- 5) +/- root ((- 5) ^ 2 - 4 (2) (- 2))) / (2 (2))
x = (- (- 5) +/- root ((25 + 16)) / (2 (2))
x = (5 +/- root (41))) / (4)
x = ((5/4) +/- (root (41)) / 4)
Answer:
x = ((5/4) +/- (root (41)) / 4)
(option 4)
