No the inequality symbol only changed when you divide a negative number from both sides.
The two consecutive whole numbers that lies between the square root of 17 is 4 and 5
Here , first we need to find the area of the pizza. And for that we use the formula of area of circle which is pi *r*r .
Now we have diameter =18 inches , so radius = 9 inches. Therefore area is
pi*9*9 =81 pi .
And this area is divided in 10 slices. SO area of each slice is

Your answe would be a>-2 so just plug that in to the line and that will be your answer which is the second one
Ok so
for a thing that is P amount at first, with a half life of k days
after t days, the amount left is A
the equation is

given
13% of P remained=A
t=400
replace A with 0.13P and t with 400
0.13P=

divide both sides by P

take the ln of both sides

multiply both sides by k

divide oth sides by ln0.13
k=

evaluate
k=135.897 days
the half life is 135.897 days
