Answer:
x = - 5 , x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
the values of x that make f(x) zero are the zeros
to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
3x² + 13x - 10 = 0
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = + 13
the factors are + 15 and - 2
use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 15x - 2x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0 ← factor out (x + 5) from each term
(x + 5)(3x - 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x =

Explanation:
<em>Half-life time</em> of a radioactive substance is the time for half of the substance to decay.
Thus, the amount of the radioactive substance that remains after a number n of half-lives is given by:
Where:
- A is the amount that remains of the substance after n half-lives have elapses, and
- A₀ is the starting amount of the substance.
In this problem, you have that the half-live for your sample (polonium-210) is 138 days and the number of days elapsed is 330 days. Thus, the number of half-lives elapsed is:
- 330 days / 138 days = 2.3913
Therefore, the amount of polonium-210 that will be left in 330 days is:
Answer:
x=60
Step-by-step explanation:
since f(x) =60 then y is f(x) and in the form y=x 60 is x
Answer:
- C) (x − 3)2 = 25
- C) Factor out 4 from 4x2 + 40x.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation will "complete the square." That square is 9, so the result on the right is 16+9 = 25. Only selection C matches.
___
2. To complete the square, you want to be able to put the quadratic into the form a(x -h)^2 = -k. For the purpose, it is most convenient to first factor "a" from the given quadratic. Then you can determine "-h" to be half the x-coefficient inside the parentheses.
Here, that looks like ...
4(x² +10x) = 80 . . . . . . . . . . step 1: factor out 4
4(x² +10x +25) = 180 . . . . . add 25 inside parentheses and the same number (4·25) on the right side of the equation
4(x +5)² = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . written as a square
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing length is 13 because,
Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.
Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.
Answer: 13
