The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms. But that's not
necessary with these numbers.
Look at the numbers:
-- 3 mg is 1/4 of 12 mg.
-- 1/4 is the product of (1/2) x (1/2).
-- So the 3 mg is what's left of 12 mg after 2 half-lives.
The 26 minutes must be two half-lives.
-- The half-life of that substance is 26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Answer:
(x^2 + x -1) x (x^2+3x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x-5+x^4+4x^3-x^2+8
-6x+3+x^4+4x^3-x^2
-6x+3+x^4+x^3+3x^3-x^2
-3x-3x+3+x^2 x(x^2+x-1)+3x^3 +3x^2-3x^2
3x *(x^2+x+x-2)-3(x^2+x-1)+x^2 *(x^2+x-1)
= (x^2+x-1) x (x^2+3x-3)
* means multiply btw
The general equation of a circle is
(x-a) ^ 2 + (y-b) ^ 2 = r ^ 2
for this case the values of a and b are
a = 2
b = 0
The radius of the circle is
r ^ 2 = 14
r = (14) ^ (1/2) = 3.74
That would be 16.625 pounds and/or 266 pounds
