Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

if x1 and x2 this zero for ax²+bx+c you have : x1 = 1 /x2 means :x1 × x2 =1

but : x1 × x2 = c /a

in this exercice : a =8 and b = -13 and c = - 4k

so : c/a =-4k/8

so : -4k/8 = 1

-4k = 8 k = 8/-4 k = -2

this polynomial is : 8x²-13x +8

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm

saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation $ae^{ct}=d$ . We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

$\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}$

$e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}$

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

$\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

We know that $\text{ln}(e)=1$ , so we will get:

$ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

$ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

$\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

Therefore, our solution would be $t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$ .
