Answer:

  • 3√5 ≈ 6.7082
  • 3√5 -2 ≈ 4.7082

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the larger number. Then x-2 is the smaller one. The sum is ...

  4x + (x-2)^2 = 49

  x^2 + 4 = 49 . . . . . simplify

  x^2 = 45 . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  x = √45 = 3√5 . . . . take the square root

The larger number is 3√5, and the smaller number is 2 less, 3√5 -2.

A type of organism's cells split every minute. If the organism has 4 cells when the cells begin to split, how many cells will th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The total of cells will the organism have after 6 minutes is 252

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets consider this problem as a geometric series

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric series:

∵ U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar^2  ,  U4 = ar^3  ,  U5 = ar^4

∴ Un = ar^n-1

- Where r is the ratio between each two consecutive terms and

 n is the position of the number in the series

* The sum of first n terms of a Geometric Progression is calculate from

 Sn = a(1 - r^n)/1 - r  

- In the problem the cell split every minute

- The organism has 4 cells when the cells begin to split

∴ a = 4

# 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , .......

∴ r = 2

- The total of cells will the organism have after 6 minutes can

  calculate from the rule of the sum

∴ S6 = 4(1 - 2^6)/1 - 2 = 4(1 - 64)/-1 = 4(-63)/-1 = 252 cells

What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle below?
balandron [24]

\bf \textit{height or altitude of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ h=\cfrac{s\sqrt{3}}{2}~~ \begin{cases} s=\stackrel{length~of}{a~side}\\ \cline{1-1} s=8\sqrt{3} \end{cases}\implies h=\cfrac{8\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}}{2}\implies h=\cfrac{8\sqrt{3^2}}{2} \\\\\\ h=4\cdot 3\implies h=12

Simplify the expression 4y - 1 - 3y + 2
victus00 [196]
Okay, so basically all you need to do is combine like terms!
in this case, 4y and -3y are like terms... and -1 and 2 are like terms
so, 4y - 3y is 1y or y
and -1 + 2 is 1

so your simplified answer is y + 1

I hope this helps!!
