Answer:

The volume of the ramp is $187\ yd^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism (ramp) is equal to

$V=BH$

where

B is the area of the triangular base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

we have

$B=37.4\ yd^{2}$

$H=5\ yd$

substitute the values

$V=37.4(5)=187\ yd^{3}$

The half price of helium-5 is 7.6 X 10 to the power of negative 22 seconds and the half-life helium -9 is 7 x 10 to the power of

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Approximately 9.211 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x = 7.6 * 10^{-22}s$ --- half life of helium-5

$y = 7 * 10^{-21}s$ --- half life of helium-9

Required

How many times greater is y than x

To do this, we simply divide y by x

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7 * 10^{-21}s}{7.6 * 10^{-22}s}$

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7 * 10^{-21}}{7.6 * 10^{-22}}$

Apply law of indices

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7 * 10^{-21--22}}{7.6}$

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7 * 10^{-21+22}}{7.6}$

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7 * 10}{7.6}$

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{70}{7.6}$

$\frac{y}{x} = 9.211$

Identify the zeros of the function f(x) = 2x^2 − 4x + 5 using the Quadratic Formula

Nostrana [21]

For this case we have that by definition, the roots, or also called zeros, of the quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0.

Then, we must find the roots of:

$2x ^ 2-4x + 5 = 0$

Where:

$a = 2\\b = -4\\c = 5$

We have to: $x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}$

Substituting we have:

$x = \frac {- (- 4) \pm \sqrt {(- 4) ^ 2-4 (2) (5)}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {16-40}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {-24}} {4}$

By definition we have to:

$i ^ 2 = -1$

So:

$x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {24i ^ 2}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {24}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 6}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm 2i \sqrt {6}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {6}} {2}$

Thus, we have two roots:

$x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}$
