So, 0.5^5 is 0.03125
multiply that by 125 and get your answer.
*3.90625* (4)
just saying, I got the 0.5^5 thing because 5 is the number of half-lives (x) and 0.5 is the rate of loss (or whatever its called).
If it were to gain, you would put 1.5

Because the order doesn't matter on where each person sits use the combinations formula:

C = n! / (r!(n-r)!)

Where n is the total number of people and r is the number of chairs.


C = 6! / (4!(6-4)!)

C = (6*5*4*3*2*1) / ((4*3*2*1(2*1))

C = 720 / (24*2)

C = 720 / 48

C = 15


There are 15 different arrangements.

Sqrt(2x-6)=3-x<br> Solve for x
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{2x - 6}  = 3 - x

Square both sides of the equation

2x - 6 = (3 - x)^{2} = 9 - 6x + x^{2} \\

x^{2}  - 8x + 15 = 0\\

(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0

x = 3 or 5

Now, you must always check your results because a result may not satisfy the original equation.

If x = 3, then \sqrt{2x - 6} = \sqrt{2(3) - 6} = \sqrt{6 - 6}  = \sqrt{0} = 0  and 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0

So 3 satisfies the original.

If x = 5, then \sqrt{2(5) - 6}  = \sqrt{10 - 6} = \sqrt{4} = 2,  but 3 - x = 3 - 5 = -2.  Therefore, 5 does NOT satisfy the original equation.

That means that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

X+2y=8<br>2x-y=1<br>mathe question​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)

2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)

Now,

x+2y = 8

or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)

Again,

2x-y = 1

or, 2x = 1+y

or, 2x-1 = y

Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)

or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y

or, 16-4y-1 = y

or, 16-1 = y+4y

or, 15 = 5y

or, y = 15/5

or, y = 3

Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)

x = 8-2y

or, x = 8-(2×3)

or, x = 8-6

or, x = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
