Answer:

x=-4 x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 2x - 8

Set equal to zero

0 = x^2 + 2x - 8

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4 * -2 = -8

4+-2 = 2

0=(x+4) ( x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0 x-2 =0

x=-4 x=2

A superhero is rendered powerless when exposed to 3535 or more grams of a certain element. A 550550 year old rock that originall

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(a)

The quantity of element that are still contained in the stolen rock

is 37.1627g

(b)

this rock can be used by the superhero's nemesis to render the superhero powerless is 567 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

original quantity =250g

half life time =200 years

so, we can use formula

$P(t)=P_0(0.5)^{\frac{t}{h} }$

where

Po is initial quantity

h is half life time

t is time in years

so, we can plug h=200 and Po=250

and we get

$P(t)=250(0.5)^{\frac{t}{200} }$

(a)

we can plug t=550

and then we can find P(t)

$P(550)=250(0.5)^{\frac{550}{200} }$

we get

$P(550)=37.1627g$

(b)

we can set P(t)=35

and then we can solve for t

$35=250(0.5)^{\frac{t}{200} }$

$0.5^{\frac{t}{200}}=\frac{7}{50}$

we can take ln on both sides

$\ln \left(0.5^{\frac{t}{200}}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{7}{50}\right)$

$t=\frac{200\ln \left(\frac{7}{50}\right)}{\ln \left(0.5\right)}$

$t=567.3$

$t=567$ years
