Answer:

the given polynomial has two roots

Step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial function y=(x-8)(x+3)^2

To find the number of roots we look at the exponent of each factor

(x-8) has exponent 1 , x=8 is a root (one root)

(x+3)^2 has exponent 2 , x=-3 is one of the root

(x+3)^2=0

take square root on both sides

x+3=0

x= -3

So the given polynomial has two roots 8 and -3

If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time ca

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

(a)8.0mg

(b)36.87 hours

(c)-0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled with the exponential decay function $A ( t ) = 10 e^{ -0.0188 t$ (t in hours)

(a)After 12 Hours

$A ( 12) = 10 e^{ -0.0188*12}\\=7.98\\\approx 8.0 mg $(to the nearest tenth of a milligram)$

(b)If A(t)=5mg

Then:

$5= 10 e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$Divide both sides by 10\\0.5=e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\ln (0.5)=-0.0188 t\\t=ln (0.5) \div (-0.0188)\\$t=36.87 hours (to two decimal places.)$

(c)

$A ( t ) = 10 e^{ -0.0188 t}\\A'(t)=10(-0.0188)e^{ -0.0188 t}\\A'(t)=-0.188e^{ -0.0188 t}\\$At 6 hours, the rate at which the amount of Valium is decaying therefore is:\\A'(6)=-0.188e^{ -0.0188*6}\\$=-0.168 ( to three decimal places)$

Line e has a slope of -2/9. line f is perpendicular to e. what is the slope of f

choli [55]

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, you must find the opposite and reciprocal of that slope. So, you have 2/9, and then 9/2.
