Using slip and slide
2x^2+7x+6
x^2+7x+12
(x+3)(x+4)
(2x+3)(x+2)
The best answer is none of the above.
When foiling the answer choices,
A: 2x^2+10x+8
B: 2x^2+8x+6
C: 2x^2+5x+3
D: 4x^2+10x+6
The division is using extra zeros.
2 * 16 = 32, but 3200 was placed below 3426.
Now 1 * 16 = 16, so 160 goes below 226.
The number that goes in the box is 160.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As an example, iodine-131 is a radioisotope with a half-life of 8 days. It decays by beta particle emission into xenon-131. After eight days have passed, half of the atoms of any sample of iodine-131 will have decayed, and the sample will now be 50% iodine-131 and 50% xenon-131.
50 grams to 25 grams is one half-life. 25 grams to 12.5 grams is another half-life. So, for 50 grams to decay to 12.5 grams, two half-lives, which would take 36 days total, would need to pass. This means each half-life for element X is 18 days.
Let's you and me discuss a few things that you already know:
-- What's a y-intercept ?
The y-intercept on a graph is the place where it crosses the y-axis.
-- That's the value of 'x' at the y-intercept ?
The y-intercept is on the y-axis, so 'x' is zero there.
-- Good ! So how would you find the y-intercept of a function ?
You say that x=0 and look at what 'y' is.
-- Very nice. What's the function in this question ?
The function is
f(x) [or 'y'] = x⁴ + 4x³ - 12x² -32x + 64 .
-- Excellent. What's the value oif that function (or 'y') when x=0 ?
It's just 64 .
-- Beautiful.
Are there any answer choices that cross the y-axis at 64 ?
How many are there ?
There's only one.
It's the upper one on the right hand side.
