Answer:

x = 2 or x = - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 5x = 2

3x² - 5x - 2 = 0

(x - 2) (3x + 1) = 0

x = 2 or x = - 1/3

Answer: a = 4, b = 163,422

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

P = P_{0} e^{kt}   P is the new population, P₀ is the initial population, k is the growth rate, t is the time elapsed.

Part a) What do we know?

P = 7003

P₀ = unknown

k = .21 <em>(converted 21% into a decimal)</em>

t = 36 yrs <em>(2006 - 1970) </em>

P = P_{0} e^{kt}   <em>need to solve for P₀</em>

7003 = P_{0} e^{(.21)(36)}

7003 = P_{0} e^{7.56}

7003 = P₀ (1920)

\frac{7003}{1920} = P_{0}

3.6 = P₀

rounded to the nearest whole number = 4

Part b) What do we know?

P = unknown

P₀ = 7003

k = .21 <em>(converted 21% into a decimal)</em>

t = 15 yrs <em>(2021 - 2006) </em>

P = P_{0} e^{kt}   <em>need to solve for P₀</em>

P = 7003 e^{(.21)(15)}

P = 7003 e^{3.15}

P = 7003(23.33)

P = 163,422.46

rounded to the nearest whole number = 163,422

*************************************************************

Answer: 2, -1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

eˣ² = eˣ * e²

eˣ² = eˣ⁺²

x² = x + 2

x² - x - 2 = 0

(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

x - 2 = 0      or      x + 1 = 0

 x = 2          or         x = -1

Check both answer for validity:

eˣ² = eˣ⁺²

e⁴ = e⁴     or   e¹ = e¹

TRUE             TRUE

*****************************************

Answer: 0 = ln 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

e^{-10} = \frac{1}{e^{10}}

ln(e^{-10}) = ln(\frac{1}{e^{10}})

-10 = ln 1 - 10   <em>log rules say division is subtraction</em>

 0 = ln 1

Find the slope of a line that passes through the
Doss [256]

Given that,

Point 1 = (-6,9)

Point 2 = (2,9)

To find,

The slope of a line that passes through the given pair.

Solution,

We have,

x₁ = -6, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 9.

The formula for the slope of a line is given by :

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\=\dfrac{9-9}{2-(-6)}\\\\=0

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through the given pair is 0.

A 10 metre length of Wood is marked out into 10 equal lengths. How many metres from one end is the third mark?
Eduardwww [97]

3 metres from one end to the third mark

Solution:

Total length of wood = 10 metre

Wood is marked into 10 equal length.

$\text{Length of each marking}=\frac{\text{Total length}}{\text{Number of marking}}

                                     $=\frac{10}{10}

                                     = 1 metre

Length of each marking = 1 metre

Number of metres from one end to third mark = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 metre

The image of the marking is attached below.

Hence 3 metres from one end to the third mark.
