Answer:

hello :

x² - 2x - 3 = ( x² -2x +1 ) - 2²

                 = ( x - 1 )² -2²

                 = ( x - 1 - 2 ) ( x - 1  +2).....by idetity : a² - b² = (a - b) ( a + b )

                = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 1)

x² - 2x - 3 = 0  :  x - 3 = 0   or x + 1 = 0

so : x = 3 or x = -1

Answer:

x = - 1, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 3 and + 1

(x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form

To solve equate to zero, that is

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

the area of a window is 192 in squared. The width if the window is four inches more than half the length of the window. What are
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x.  therefore let x = length

Area = LW

192 =  x(4 + 1/2 x)

192 = 4x + 1/2x²      

384 = 8x  + x²                            Multiply each term by 2 to make a  

384 + 16 =  x² + 8x + 16              Complete the square

400 = (x  + 4)²        

\sqrt{400} = \sqrt{(x + 4)^2}

± 20 = x + 4

20 = x + 4  or  -20 = x + 4

20 - 4 = x     or  -20 - 4 = x

    16 = x   or   -24 = x   reject the negative amount

   Length = 16

   width = 4 + 1/2(16);   4 + 8 = 12

If £2000 is placed into a bank account that pays 3% compound interest per year,
klemol [59]

Answer:

£2,121.80

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the compound interest formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 3% into a decimal:

3% -> \frac{3}{100} -> 0.03

Now, plug in the values:

A=2,000(1+\frac{0.03}{1})^{1(2)}

A=2,121.80

Your answer is £2,121.80

the half-life of bismuth-210 is 5 days. if 25 grams of bismuth-210 are present initially, how much will remain after 10 days?
Jet001 [13]
10 days is twice the half-life. After 5 days, can expect \dfrac{25}2 grams to remain; after another 5 days, you'd be left with \dfrac{25}4 grams.
