Answer:

g(x) = 3(x-9)(x-5)

Zeros: x = 9 and x = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

g(x) = 3x^{2} - 42a + 135

So

a = 3, b = -42, c = 135

\bigtriangleup = (-42)^{2} - 4*3*135 = 144

x_{1} = \frac{-(-42) + \sqrt{144}}{2*3} = 9

x_{2} = \frac{-(42) - \sqrt{144}}{2*3} = 5

So

g(x) = 3(x-9)(x-5)

Zeros: x = 9 and x = 5.

he radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years. A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were​ discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the element:

The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years.

This means that A(5750) = 0.5A(0), and we use this to find k. So

A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}

0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-5750k}

e^{-5750k} = 0.5

\ln{e^{-5750k}} = \ln{0.5}

-5750k = \ln{0.5}

k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5750}

k = 0.00012054733

So

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}

A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 ​% of their​ carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were​ discovered?

Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:

A(t) = 0.222A(0)

Then

0.222A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}

e^{-0.00012054733t} = 0.222

\ln{e^{-0.00012054733t}} = \ln{0.222}

-0.00012054733t = \ln{0.222}

t = -\frac{\ln{0.222}}{0.00012054733}

t = 12485

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were​ discovered.

For the dinner special at a restaurant, the customer must choose an appetizer, a salad, an entree, a side dish, and a dessert. H
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The number of possible dinner specials are 4368.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dinner specials = 5

They include appetizer, a salad, an entree, a side dish, and a dessert.

Possible items to choose from = 16.

They are 1. Appetizer Chicken strips, 2. Shrimp cocktail, 3. Buffalo wings, 4. Potato skins, 5. Salad Garden, 6. Caesar Entree T-bone steak, 7. Pot roast, 8. Lamb Side dish Corn, 9. Rice, 10. French fries, 11. Baked potato, 12. Pinto beans, 13. Dessert Chocolate cake, 14. Brownies, 15. Ice cream, 16. Apple pie

This is a combination problem requiring a combination solution with the following formula and steps:

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

n choose r

n (objects) =  16

r (sample) =  5

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

C (n, r) =C (14,5) C (n, r) =C (16,5)

=16! (5! (16−5)!) =16! (5! (16−5)!)

= 4368

The image shows a ray of light bending at the boundary of a glass block. According to a law of optics, = n, where n is a constan
UkoKoshka [18]
The formula for the light bend would be n1*sin i= n2 * sin r

If you use "sin (90-x)= cos x" principle, you can change the sin in the equation into
n1*sin i= n2 * sin r
n1 * cos a= n2 * cos b
n2/n1= cos a/ cos b

Assuming the n constant is the ratio of the glass compared to water then the answer would be: cos a/ cos b
