Answer: the two numbers are 7 and -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

From the question,

a + b = -27.......eqn 1

a - b = 41............eqn 2

Sum the two equations

2a = 14

Divide both sides by 2

a = 14/2; a = 7

Substitute a = 7 into equation 2

a - b = 41

7 - b = 41

Make b the subject of the equation

-b = 41 -7

-b = 34

b = -34

Check:

a + b = -27, slot the values of a and b

7 + (-34) = -27

7- 34 = -27

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

The amount of polonium-210 remaining, p(t), after t days in a sample can be modeled by the exponential function p(t) = 100e−0.00
Archy [21]

Answer:

% Po lost = 100[1 - e^(-0.005t)]  %; 73.0 g

Step-by-step explanation:

p(t) = 100e^(-0.005t)

Initial amount:        p(0) = 100

Amount remaining: p(t) = 100e^(-0.005t)

Amount lost: p(0) – p(t) = 100 - 100e^(-0.005t) = 100[1 - e^(-0.005t)]

% of Po lost  = amount lost/initial amount × 100 %

= [1 - e^(-0.005t)]  × 100 % = 100[1 - e^(-0.005t)]  %

p(63) = 100e^(-0.005 × 63) = 100e^(-0.315) = 100 × 0.730 = 73 g

The mass of polonium remaining after 63 days is 73 g.

Solve for x
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

C. x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem the best way is to use the quadratic formula. First make everything equal to 0 by adding 3 to both sides.

3x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0

The quadratic formula is: \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}. Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the formula. Keep in mind:

  • a = 3
  • b = -6
  • c = 3

\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(3)} }{2(3)} \rightarrow \frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-4(9)} }{6} \rightarrow \frac{6\pm\sqrt{0} }{6} \rightarrow \frac{1\pm0}{1} \rightarrow 1

Therefore, x = 1.
