Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
x + 2x² = 10
Factorize x + 2x²
x(1 + 2x) = 10
Divide both sides by (1 + 2x)
x =
If the half-life is t, then every t days, the amount of the radioactive isotope will be cut in half.
(1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 3%
number of half-lives = ln(0.03) / ln(0.5)
This gives the number of half-lives as 5.06.
Then 300 days = (5.06)(length of 1 half-life)
length of 1 half-life = 300 / 5.06 = 59.29 days
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔYZW. The tricky part is identifying which sides in ΔUVW correspond to which sides in ΔYZW.
The triangles share point W, so visually rotate one triangle around W until the two triangles align. That way, you can see that UW and ZW correspond to each other, and VW and YW correspond to each other.
Now you can find the scale:
VW / YW = 5/12
And you can write a proportion to find x:
UW / ZW = VW / YW
x / 64 = 5 / 12
x = 26 ⅔
7.4 rounded to the nearest tenth is 7
The degree is of this trinomial is 8
