This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.

I hope it helps.

Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

If p(x) = x^2-6x+5, find p(4)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x^2-6x+5

Let x= 4

p(4) = 4^2-6(4)+5

Exponents first

= 16 -6(4) +5

Multiply

= 16 -24 +5

Add and subtract

= -8+5

= -3

I need help with this question

balu736 [363]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

What the question is asking is that it wants you to make the equation show equal to n.

We can do that by dividing both sides by RT, to get n by itself.

$PV = nRT\\\\\\\frac{PV}{RT} = n$ ⇔ This is the answer.

A total of $4000 is invested: part at 8% and the remainder at 14%. How much is invested at each rate if the annual interest is $

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$2000 is invested at 8%

$2000 is invested at 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of $4000 is invested part at 8% and the remainder at 14%

Annual interest is $440.

Simple interest formula;

I = P × R × T

Where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the rate and T is the time.

P = $4000

R = 8% and 14%

T = 1 year

I = $440

Let's say $a is invested at 8% and;

$b is invested at 14%

Then,

($a × $\frac{8}{100}$ × 1 ) + ($b × $\frac{14}{100}$ × 1) = $440

and

$a + $b = $4000

This forms a simultaneous equation;

0.08a + 0.14b = 440 ... (i)

a + b = 4000 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 1 and (ii) by 0.08 we get;

0.08a + 0.14b = 440 ... (i)

0.08a + 0.08b = 320 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) - (ii) we get;

0 + 0.06b = 120

0.06b = 120

b = 120 ÷ 0.06 = 2000

So amount invested at 14% ($b) = $2000 and,

The amount invested at 8% ($a) = $4000 - $2000 = $2000
