Answer:

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x – 1= 0

Add 1 to each side

x^2 + 4x – 1+1= 0+1

x^2 +4x = 1

Take the coefficient of x

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2=4

Add it to each side

x^2 +4x+4=1+4

(x+2)^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+2)^2 )=± sqrt(5)

x+2 = ± sqrt(5)

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -2 ± sqrt(5)

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)

The half-life of radium-226 is 1600 years. Suppose we have a 27-mg sample.
slega [8]

A function m(t)= m₀e^(-rt) that models the mass remaining after t years is; m(t) = 27e^(-0.00043t)

The amount of sample that will remain after 4000 years is; 4.8357 mg

The number of years that it will take for only 17 mg of the sample to remain is;  1076 years

<h3>How to solve exponential decay function?</h3>

A) Using the model for radioactive decay;

m(t)= m₀e^(-rt)

where;

m₀ is initial mass

r is rate of growth

t is time

Thus, we are given;

m₀ = 27 mg

r = (In 2)/1600 = -0.00043 which shows a decrease by 0.00043

and so we have;

m(t) = 27e^(-0.00043t)

c) The amount that will remain after 4000 years is;

m(4000) = 27e^(-0.00043 * 4000)

m(4000) = 27 * 0.1791

m(4000) = 4.8357 mg

d) For 17 mg to remain;

17 = 27e^(-0.00043 * t)

17/27 = e^(-0.00043 * t)

In(17/27) = -0.00043 * t

-0.4626/-0.00043 = t

t = 1076 years

Hi there!

The answer is
x \leqslant - 5

We have the following inequality.
- 6x \geqslant 30

We can divide both sides by -6, but because we divide by a negative number, we must flip the sign.

x \leqslant 30 \div - 6
x \leqslant - 5

maw [93]
Total area of land = 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 square miles

Area of square fields = 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16 square miles

Number of fields = (3/2) / (1/16) = 24 fields.
