What number would you add to complete the square? x^2+14x=0

A pilot of a helicopter plans to release a bucket of water on a forest fire. The height y in feet of water t seconds after its r

frosja888 [35]

You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.

(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction

(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds

Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6% per year. Further suppose that when the population o

artcher [175]

If poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6% and the criteria of population extinction is 20 with present population 1500 then it will take 3.62 years to reach to the mark of extinction.

Given Poaching reduces the population of endangered animals by 6% per year. The criteria of population extinction is 20. Present population being 1500.

Number of years taken by the population of endangered animals to reach to 20 mark can be calculated as under:

20=1500* $(1-0.06)^{n}$

20=1500* $0.94^{n}$

20/1500= $0.94^{n}$

0.133= $0.94^{n}$

take log both sides

log(0.133)=log $0.94^{n}$ -------1

log(0.133)=nlog (0.94)

put the values log values:

log(0.133)=-0.8761

log(0.94)=-0.0268

Taking 1

-0.8761=n*(-0.0268)

n=0.8761/0.0268

n=3.269

Hence to reach level of 20 the population takes 3.2 years.

QUESTION 1) Line M passes through the points (-4, -11) and (3, 3). Line N passes through the points (5, -2) and (-6, 9). Which o

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Yes, lines M and N intersect because their slopes are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can start out by finding the slope of Line M and Line N. The slope formula is (y_2 - y_1)/(x_ 2- x_1)

Slope of Line M:

(3--11) / (3--4)

(3+11) / (3+4)

14/7

2

Now we know that the slope of Line M is 2.

Slope of Line N:

(9--2) / (-6-5)

11/-11

The slope of Line N is -1!

Since the slopes of Line N and M are different, they intersect. The answer is Yes, lines M and N intersect because their slopes are different.

If the slopes were the same, Line N and M would NEVER intersect because they are parallel.

Hope this helps
