Answer:

x = -3  or  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve:   x^2 -2x = 15

x^2  - 2x  - 15 = 0

Use the Diamond method of factoring

-15 = 3* -5  and  3 - 5 = -2  so...

x^2  - 2x  - 15 = x^2 -  5x  + 3x  -  15

x^2  - 2x  - 15 = x *(x - 5)  + 3*(x - 5)

x^2  - 2x  - 15 = (x  + 3)*(x - 5)

x^2  - 2x  - 15 = (x  + 3)*(x - 5)  = 0

solve  (x + 3 ) = 0  and  (x - 5) = 0

x = -3  or  x = 5

3. The population P in thousands of a city can be modeled by the equation
madreJ [45]

Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

P is measured in thosands therefore, P will have a value of 120

so it would be...

120=80e^0.015t

80e^0.015t=120

e^0.015t=120/80=3/2=1.5

e^0.015t=1.5

0.015t= In(1.5)

t=In(1.5)/0.015

∴ t≈27.03 round it to 27 years

It would be greatly appreciated if you gave me the brainlest

Solve for X, please show work!
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 2| > 8 is equivalent to the following set of inequalities:

1) 3x - 2 > 8

and

2) -(3x - 2) > 8

In case 1, above, add 2 to both sides, obtaining 3x > 10, or x > 10/3.

In case 2, above, carry out the indicated multiplication first:

-3x + 2 > 8.  Next, subtract 2 from both sides:  -3x > 6.

Next, divide both sides by -3, remembering to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:  x < -2.

Thus, the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}
