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

14. f(x) = -x4 + x² + 4; x = -1
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

  f(-1) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

See below for the synthetic division tableau. The remainder is 4, hence ...

  f(-1) = 4

___

IMO, in this function it is far easier just to substitute -1 for x. Since the only terms are of even degree, the value of f(-1) is the sum of the coefficients:

  f(-1) = -1 +1 +4

  f(-1) = 4
