Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Factored form of a parabola</u>

where:
- p and q are the x-intercepts.
- a is some constant.
Given x-intercepts:
Therefore:


To find a, substitute the given point (4, 8) into the equation and solve for a:




Therefore, the equation of the parabola in factored form is:

Expand so that the equation is in standard form:




Dont know what to say but if u really need an answer i would say 1\4
Answer:
5.1 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question,
initial amount of substance = 34 grams
k-value = 0.137
To find the half life of this substance we will use following formula

here N(0) is initial amount of substance
t is time in days
Plug values in the formula

1/2 = e^{-0.137t}
Take logarithm on both sides
ln(1/2) = ln( e^{-0.137t})
ln(1/2) = -0.137t
t = ln(1/2) / -0.137
t = 5.059
t ≈ 5.1 days (nearest to tenths)
