Factor the equation to give
By the zero product property, either x^2=0 or (3x^2+12-6x)=0 or both.
If x^2=0, then x=0
if (3x^2+12-6x)=0, we use the quadratic formula to solve for x
where x=1 ± √ (3) i
Answer: the roots of <span>3x^4+12x^2=6x^3 are {0 (multiplicity 2), 1+√3 i, 1-√3 i}</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In general:
Volume = (the area of the base of the figure) times (the figure's height)
Here, the area of the base is 4 square feet, the height is 2 1/2 foot = 5/2 foot
Our Volume is then:
4 square feet * 5/2 foot = 10 cubic feet
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.
The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²
Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²
Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16
Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.
b) For the scaled copy:
Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²
base × height = 144
Since the base and height are equal
base² = 144
base = 12, also height = 12
Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A
Therefore the scale factor used is 4
Answer: Raymond is correct
The DJ charges $75 an hour.
=================================================
Explanation:
x = number of hours
y = total cost
The DJ does a 3-hour event for $275. This means one point is (x,y) = (3,275)
Another point is (5,425) because a 5-hour event costs $425.
Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.
The slope is 75, meaning that each time y goes up by 75, x goes up by 1.
Flipped around it means each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 75.
This means each time we add on an extra hour, the cost goes up by $75.
The DJ charges $75 an hour. Raymond is correct.
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
