Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let one no. be 'x'.

the other no. is (x+2)

therefore the eq. is:

x+x+2= -68

2x+2= -68

2x = -68-2

= -70

x= -70/2

= -35

one number is -35

other number is (x+2) = -35 + 2

= -33

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters. What is the length

Fed [463]

Use Pythagorean theorem to solve.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + b ^2 = 14^2
36 + b^2 = 196
Subtract 36 from both sides.
b^2 = 196-36
b^2 = 160
Take the square root of both sides.
b = sqrt 160
As a decimal
b = 12.649
As a simplified radical
b = 4sqrt10

Given log5 3=0.6826 and log5 8=1.2920, evaluate the expressions<br><br> Please help!?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

a) 1.3652

b) 1.3906

Step-by-step explanation:

a) log5 9 = log5 3² = 2log5 3 = 2(0.6826) = 1.3652

b) log5 75/8 = log5 75 - log5 8 = log5 3×25 - log5 8=

log5 3 + log5 5² - log5 8 = 0.6826 + 2 - 1.2920 = 0.6826 + 0.708 = 1.3906

A particular isotope has a half-life of 74 days. If you start with 1 kilogram of this isotope, how much will remain after 150

$\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}$
