1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point
=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.
So x = 2 is a critical point
2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)
Multiply both terms:
[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]
for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1
=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5
=> x = - 6
Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.
Answer: option B.
Answer:
i think the anser is 150 sorry if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
2x2x2= 8
3x3= 9
8+9= 17x8= 136+14= 150
B is correct... Is that not right?
Using an exponential function, it is found that the bottle contains 255,960 atoms of tritium after 11 years.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem:
- The bottle initially contained 450,000 tritium atoms, hence A(0) = 450000.
- The amount decays by about 5% per year, hence r = 0.05.
Thus, the equation is given by:
After 11 years, the amount is given by:
The bottle contains 255,960 atoms of tritium after 11 years.
