Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 9 = 2x + 23

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Subtract 2x on both sides:</u> -9 ≠ 23

Here, we can see that we would have no solution. Another way to see it is that these 2 lines are parallel, and parallel lines have no solution.

Say that you own property with a market price of $74,000. The state tax assessors have given it an assessed value of 48% of that

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

74,000 x .48 = 35520. 35520 is the amount of property you have to pay for.

35520 x 0.031 = 1,101.12. 1.101.12 is the amount you owe in property tax.

Situation:A researcher in North America discoversa fossile that contains 65% of its originalamount of C-14..-ktN=NoeNo inital am

zheka24 [161]

SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}$

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ 0.65N_0=N_0e^{-0.0001t} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=\frac{0.65N_0}{N_0} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=0.65 \end{gathered}$

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

$\begin{gathered} ln(e^{-0.000t})=ln(0.65) \\ -0.0001t=ln(0.65) \\ t=\frac{ln(0.65)}{-0.0001} \\ t=4307.82916 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year

Which equation represents y = −x2 + 6x + 7 in vertex form? y = −(x + 3)2 + 4 y = −(x − 3)2 + 10 y = −(x + 3)2 + 2 y = −(x − 3)2

Colt1911 [192]

$\text{The vertex form:}\ y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\to h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-x^2+6x+7\to f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\\\a=-1,\ b=6,\ c=7\\\\h=\dfrac{-6}{2(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\\\\k=f(3)=-3^2+6(3)+7=-9+18+7=16\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{y=-(x-3)^2+16}$
