first term = initial number
second term = initial number + common difference
third term = initial number + 2(common difference)
So...
2x+5-(x+4) = common difference
4x+3-(2x+5) = also common difference
2x+5-(x+4) = x+1
4x+3-(2x+5) = 2x-2
Because x+1=2x-2 we can solve for x.
x=3
So the sequence goes... 7,11,15...
19 is the fourth term
Answer:
no it's not parallel to that.
The discriminant of 0 = -2x^2 + 3 is 24 and it has 2 real solutions
<h3>How to interpret the discriminant?</h3>
The equation is given as:
0 = -2x^2 + 3
Rewrite as:
-2x^2 + 3 = 0
The discriminant of an equation is calculated using:
D = B^2 - 4AC
In this case, we have:
A = -2
B = 0
C = 3
So, we have:
D = (0)^2 - 4 * -2 * 3
Evaluate
D = 24
When the discriminant is 0 or more, then the equation has real roots
Hence, the discriminant of 0 = -2x^2 + 3 is 24 and it has 2 real solutions

First we have to calculate the half-life
half-life = elapsed time * log (2) / log (bgn amt / end amt)
half-life = 1 hour * 0.30102999566 / log (1 / .95)
half-life = 0.30102999566 / log (<span>

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2^n
