What is the solution set of the equation? p2 – 12p = 13 The solution set is

1 answer:

4 0

p² - 12p = 13
  p² - 12p - 13 = 0
  p² - 13p + p - 13 = 0
p(p) - p(13) + 1(p) - 1(13) = 0
p(p - 13) + 1(p - 13) = 0
  (p + 1)(p - 13) = 0
  p + 1 = 0 or p - 13 = 0
  - 1 - 1 + 13 + 13
p = -1 p = 13

The solution set of the equation is {-1, 13}.

What is four hundred twenty times six

lianna [129]

To do this without a calculator, it may be easier to break the number into smaller parts.
420 * 6
= (400 * 6) + (20 * 6)
= 2400 + 120
= 2520

Hope this helps! :)

Double is double, so you can solve
.. 2 = 1*e^(.08t)
and get the correct value of t.

Taking logs,
.. ln(2) = .08t
.. ln(2)/.08 = t ≈ 8.7 . . . . years
