To factor an expression, first you have to find the GCF or Greatest Common Factor of all of the pieces of the expression.
The GCF of 2y^2 and -4y is 2y
So, to factor this expression, we need to divide all of the pieces of the expression by the GCF.
2y(y-2)
2y^2 - 4y in completely factored form is 2y(y-2)
Three numbers less than 2, but greater than -1 are:
- 1.5 (I don't know if that counts as a number specifically)
Answer:
1. 14
2. 20
3. 12
4. -400
5. 6
6. 21
7. 11
8. 16
9. 40
10. 49
11. 12
12. IDK
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 16-2=14
2. 16+4=20
3. 6 X 2 = 12
4. -400/-10 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive) = 40
5. 6 X 6 = 36
6. 16+5=21
7. 23-12=11
8. 4 X 16 = 64
9. 36-16=20, 20 X 2 = 40
10. 400-8=392, 392/8= 49
11. 912-612=300, 300/25 = 12
12. Sorry too confusing.
After the first three days, the sample size will be half of the initial; therefore, 400g/2= 200g. However, it is asking how long will it take to decay to 100g, so we will take 200g/2= 100g, which will take another three days. It will take 2 half-lives, which will encompass 6 days.
