Answer:

x=1, x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+5x-6=0 can be reduced to (x+6)(x-1)=0

we now have x+6=0 and x-1=0

solve by subtracting 6 from each side in the first equation and adding 1 to each side in the second.

x=1, x=-6

c=68

62+90=152

180-152=28

An unknown radioactive element decays into non-radioactive substances. In 180 days the radioactivity of a sample decreases by 73
BigorU [14]

Answer:

  • half-life: 95.3 days
  • 60% life: 70.2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The proportion remaining (p) after d days can be described by ...

  p = (1 -0.73)^(d/180) = 0.27^(d/180)

Then p=1/2 when ...

  0.50 = 0.27^(d/180)

  log(0.50) = (d/180)log(0.27)

  180(log(0.50)/log(0.27) = d ≈ 95.3

The half-life is about 95.3 days.

__

b) For the proportion remaining to be 60/100, we can use the same solution process. In the end, 0.50 will be replaced by 0.60, and we have ...

  d = 180(log(0.60)/log(0.27) ≈ 70.2 . . . days

60 mg will remain of a 100 mg sample after 70.2 days.

at time t, the position of a body moving along the s-axis is s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t m. Find the total distance traveled by the body
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of a body is given by :

s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t

We need to find the total distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=3.

At t = 0,

s=0^3 - 12(0)^2 + 36(0)=0\ m

At t = 3 s,

s=(3)^3 - 12(3)^2 + 36(3)\\\\=27\ m

So, the total distance from t=0 to t=3 is equal to 27 m.
