Answer:

-3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

Step-by-step explanation:

- Protons are positively charged particles contained in the nucleus of the atom. They have a charge of q_p=+1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

- Electrons are negatively charged particles orbiting around the nucleus of the atom. They have a charge of  q_e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, so the total charge of a neutral atom is:

Q=Nq_p + Nq_e = N(q_p+q_e)=N(+1.6\cdot 10^{-19}-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})=0

In this problem, we have an atom having an excess of 2 electrons, i.e. it has 2 more electrons than protons.

Therefore, the charge of this atom will be:

Q=0+2q_e

and substittuing, we find

Q=2(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})=-3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)

What is this trinomial in factored form? 3a^2-2a-1
Dafna1 [17]
<span>Simplifying 3a2 + -2a + -1 = 0 Reorder the terms: -1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0 Solving -1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Factor a trinomial. (-1 + -3a)(1 + -1a) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-1 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -3a = 0 Solving -1 + -3a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + -3a = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -3a = 0 + 1 -3a = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 -3a = 1 Divide each side by '-3'. a = -0.3333333333 Simplifying a = -0.3333333333 Subproblem 2Set the factor '(1 + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1a = 0 Solving 1 + -1a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1a = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1a = 0 + -1 -1a = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1a = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. a = 1 Simplifying a = 1Solutiona = {-0.3333333333, 1}</span>

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY
Advocard [28]

Answer:

TanA= \frac{36}{27} and sinA=36/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan= opposite/adjacent

since 36 is opposite of A and 27 is adjancent to 36 your will use tanA= 36/27

Sin= opposite/hypotenuse

36 is opposite of A and 45 is the hypotenuse
