Answer:
x = -1 and y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
using x = -b/2a
x = -4 / 2(2)
x = -1
y = 2(-1)² + 4(-1) + 8
y = 2 - 4 + 8
y = 10 - 4
y = 6
Answer:
3.1 3.25 3.33 3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Third option. 
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise you need to remember one of the properties for exponents.
There is a property called the "Negative property of exponents" which states the following:
Where 
As you can observe,
is the reciprocal of 
In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:

Observe the expression. As you can notice, the base "n" has a negative exponent, which is -6.
Therefore, applying the Negative property of exponents explained at the beginning of this explanation, you can simplify the expression.
Then, the simplified form of
is the one shown below:

Answer:
t =log(20) / 0.3 = 10*log(20) / log(1,000) - years - when the tree will have 100 branches.
Step-by-step explanation:
100 = 5 * 10^(0.3t), solve for t
Divide both sides by 5:
20 =10^(0.3t)
Take the log of both sides:
0.3t =log(20)
Divide both sides by 0.3:
Multiply the RHS by 10 / 10
t =log(20) / 0.3 = 10*log(20) / log(1,000) - years - when the tree will have 100 branches.
Answer:
