Find the quotient: 18,198 / 27 518 608 674 689

If 96 grams of carbon-14 are originally present in a fossilized plant at the present time, how much will remain after 17,000 yea

Elden [556K]

Well, you already have the decay model, so just plug that in

$\bf A=96e^{-0.000121\cdot 17000}\implies A=96e^{-2.057}$

Solve for x<br> (1/x) -2/3 = (4x)

Vadim26 [7]

The value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}=4 x$

Subtracting by $4x$ on both sides,

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}-4 x=0$

Taking LCM,

$\frac{3-12 x^{2}-2 x}{3 x}=0$

Multiplying by 3x on both sides,

$-12 x^{2}-2 x+3=0$

Dividing by (-) on both sides,

$12 x^{2}+2 x-3=0$

Using quadratic formula, we can solve for x.

$\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2}-4 \cdot 12 \cdot(-3)}}{2 \cdot 12} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+144}}{2 \cdot 144} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{148}}{24} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{37}}{24}\end{aligned}$

Taking out common term 2, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-2(1 \pm \sqrt{37})}{24}} \\{x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{37}}{12}}\end{array}$

Thus, the value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

A geographer found that the land area of Aruba is 75 square miles and the land area of Bermuda is 19 square miles. Based on thes

MakcuM [25]

The interpretation of<em> </em><em>x</em> in the equation 75•x + 19•y = T, used by the geographer, based on the land area of Aruba, 75 m², and Bermuda, 19 m², is the population in a square mile of Aruba

<h3>Which method can be used to find the interpretation of <em>x </em>in the equation?</h3>

The land area of Aruba = 75 m²

Land area of Bermuda = 19 m²

The total number of residents is given in the question by the equation;

75•x + 19•y = T

Therefore;

x = The number of people in a square mile in Aruba

y = The number of people in a square mile in Bermuda

Which gives;
