Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-x-30=0

x² - 6x + 5x - 30 = 0

(x² - 6x) + (5x - 30) = 0

x(x - 6) + 5(x - 6) = 0

(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0

x + 5 = 0 or x - 6 = 0

x = -5 or x = 6

Hello does anyone know how to solve this?

Radda [10]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 2 ^ -4 ( = 1/16)

Discussion:

- 4 log {8} 2 {8} is used instead of subscript notation

Basic property of logarithms is that exponents become multipliers and vice versa:

-4 log {8} 2 = log {8} (2^ -4)

Thank you,

What is the following product?

VMariaS [17]

For this case we must find the product of the following expression:

$\sqrt {12} * \sqrt {18}$

We combine using the product rule for radicals:

$\sqrt [n] {a} * \sqrt [n] {b} = \sqrt [n] {ab}$

So, we have:

$\sqrt {12 * 18} =\\\sqrt {216} =$

We rewrite the 216 as $6 * 6 * 6 = 6 ^ 3 = 6 ^ 2 * 6$

$\sqrt {6 ^ 2 * 6} =$

By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:

$\sqrt [n] {a ^ n} = a ^ {\frac {n} {n}} = a$

Then, the expression is:

$6 \sqrt {6}$

A small business has 15 full-time employees. How many people does the small business employ if the full-time workers make up 30%

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

50 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of employees the business has will have to be made up the full-time employees and part-time employees.

The number of full-time employees = 15

Let the total number of employees = x

$15 = 30 percent of x$

$15 = 30/100 \times x\\x=1500/30 = 50$

The company has a total of 50 employees
