Answer: s = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
s/4 + 15 = 14
We can subtract 15 from both sides:
s/4 = -1
We can multiply both sides by 4:
s = -4
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
X-6= -22
X = -22+6
X = - 16

Every angle bisector in a triangle bisects the opposite side perpendicularly.
A 'counterexample' would show an angle bisector in a triangle that DOESN'T
bisect the opposite side perpendicularly.
See my attached drawing of a counterexample.
Both of the triangles that Melanie examined have
equal sides on both sides
of the angle bisector. That's the only way that the angle bisector can bisect
the opposite side perpendicularly. Melanie didn't examine enough different
triangles.
