The answer would be 20 or 9
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the wall hanging shown in blue is the area of the square 8 by 8 minus the area of the cutout. Notice the cutout is a triangle? To find the total area, subtract the area of the triangle from the square.
The square has the sides 8 by 8 and its area is found as A = 8*8 = 64.
The triangle measures 4 inches by 4 inches. The area is found as A = 1/2*4*4 = 8.
Subtract the two areas.
64 - 8 = 56
Answer: 14x^2 - 84x - 7
====================================================
Explanation:
The like terms 6x^2 and 8x^2 combine to 14x^2
The like terms -8x and -76x combine to -84x
Nothing pairs with the -7, so its stays as is.
Standard form is where we list the terms in decreasing exponent order. We can think of -84x as -84x^1 and the -7 as -7x^0. So 14x^2 - 84x - 7 would be the same as 14x^2 - 84x^1 - 7x^0. The exponents count down: 2,1,0.
The final answer is a trinomial since it has three terms. It is also a quadratic because the degree (highest exponent) is 2.
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (
