Answer: B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

-10x² + 12x - 9 = 0

a=-10, b=12, c=-9

x = $\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

= $\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{12^{2}-4(-10)(-9)}} {2(-10)}$

= $\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{144-360}} {-20}$

= $\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{-216}} {-20}$

= $\frac{-12} {-20}$ +/- $\frac{\sqrt{-216}} {-20}$

= $\frac{3} {5}$ +/- $\frac{6i\sqrt{6}} {-20}$

= $\frac{3} {5}$ +/- $\frac{3i\sqrt{6}} {10}$

The easiest way to begin this problem is to multiply through by minus one. It will not change the answer. Then use the quadratic formula. It looks like it cannot be factored just by doing it.

Solution

-1(-x^2 + 12x - 9) = 0 * -1

x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 10; b = - 12 ; c = 9

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -(-12) \pm \sqrt{((-12)^{2} - 4*10*9 )} }{2*10}$

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ (12) \pm \sqrt{(144)-360)}}{20}$

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ (12) \pm \sqrt{(-216)}}{20}$

216 has to be put into prime factors to see how much can come out of the root sign

216:2 * 2 *2 * 3 * 3 * 3

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ (12) \pm \2*3sqrt{(-6)}}{20}$

x = 12/20 +/- (6/20)i sqrt(6)

x = 3/5 +/- (3/10)*i*sqrt(6) which is B

Consider the following function. f(x) = 7x + 1 x (a) Find the critical numbers of f. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated li

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

a) DNE

b) The function increases for every real value of x.

c) DNE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), the critical points are those in which $f^{\prime}(x) = 0$ , that is, the roots of the first derivative of f(x).

Those critical points let us find the intervals in which the function increases or decreases. If the first derivative in the interval is positive, the function increases in the interval. If it is negative, the function decreases.

If the function increases before a critical point and then, as it passes the critical point, it starts to decrease, we have that the critical point $(x_{c}, f(x_{c}) is a relative maximum.If the function decreases before a critical point and then, as it passes the critical point, it starts to increase, we have that the critical point [tex](x_{c}, f(x_{c}) is a relative minimum.If the function has no critical points, it either always increases or always decreases.In this exercise, we have that:[tex]f(x) = 7x + 1$

(a) Find the critical numbers of f.

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

$f^{/prime}(x) = 7$

7 = 0 is false. This means that f has no critical points.

(b) Find the open intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing.

Since there are no critical points, we know that either the function increases or decreases in the entire real interval.

We have a first order function in the following format:

$f(x) = ax + b$

In which $a > 0$ .

So the function increases for every real value of x.

(c) Apply the First Derivative Test to identify the relative extremum.

From a), we find that there are no critical numbers. So DNE

Answer: 53

Step-by-step explanation:

They are both right legs. Use a^2+b^2=c^2.

A= 28^2 B=45^2

A= 784 B= 2025. 2025+ 784= 2809 (radical 2809) To simplified is 53

A sample of a radioactive substance decayed to 97% of its original amount after a year. (Round your answers to two decimal place

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a) The half life of the substance is 22.76 years.

b) 5.34 years for the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the radioactive substance after t years is modeled by the following equation:

$P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}$

In which P(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

A sample of a radioactive substance decayed to 97% of its original amount after a year.

This means that:

$P(1) = 0.97P(0)$

Then

$P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}$

$0.97P(0) = P(0)(1-r)^{0}$

$1 - r = 0.97$

$P(t) = P(0)(0.97t)^{t}$

(a) What is the half-life of the substance?

This is t for which P(t) = 0.5P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(0.97t)^{t}$

$0.5P(0) = P(0)(0.97t)^{t}$

$(0.97)^{t} = 0.5$

$\log{(0.97)^{t}} = \log{0.5}$

$t\log{0.97} = \log{0.5}$

$t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.97}}$

$t = 22.76$

The half life of the substance is 22.76 years.

(b) How long would it take the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount?

This is t for which P(t) = 0.85P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(0.97t)^{t}$

$0.85P(0) = P(0)(0.97t)^{t}$

$(0.97)^{t} = 0.85$

$\log{(0.97)^{t}} = \log{0.85}$

$t\log{0.97} = \log{0.85}$

$t = \frac{\log{0.85}}{\log{0.97}}$

$t = 5.34$

5.34 years for the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount
