Answer:

value of gold is $33.17

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

depth d = 3800 m = 3.8 km

area A  = 3.63 × 10^8 km²

average concentration = 5.8 × 10^−9 g/L

price of gold = $129.00 / troy oz

to find out

value of gold

solution

first we find volume that is

volume v = A× d

put here value

volume = 3.8 ×  3.63 × 10^8

volume =  13.794 × 10^{8} km³

volume = 137.94 × 10^{19} L

so mass =  5.8 × 10^{9} × 137.94 × 10^{19}

mass = 8 × 10^{12} g

mass = 0.2572 troy oz

here we know 1 troy oz = 31.1 g

and we know 1 troy oz = $129

so 0.2572 troy oz = 129 × 0.2572

0.2572 troy oz value is $33.17

value of gold is $33.17

Let $f(x) = 12x^9 + x$. Find $f(3) + f(-3)$.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Ok, here goes:  f(3) means take f(x) and plug in 3 wherever we see x.  So

f(3) = 12*39 + 3 = 236196 + 3

f(3) = 236199

Likewise, f(-3) means take f(x) and plug in (-3) wherever we see x.  So

f(-3) = 12*(-3)9 + (-3) = -236196 - 3

f(-3) = -236199

Putting those two things together, we get

f(3) + f(-3) = 236199 - 236199 = 0
