Answer:

f(x) = ( x+2)(x-5)(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation with zeros at b1,b2,b3

f(x) =a( x-b1)(x-b2)(x-b3) where a is a constant and b1 b2 b3 are the zeros

f(x) = a( x- -2)(x-5)(x-6)

f(x) = a( x+2)(x-5)(x-6)

We can choose a since we are not given any more information about the function. Let a = 1

f(x) = 1( x+2)(x-5)(x-6)

f(x) = ( x+2)(x-5)(x-6)

Answer:

$\dfrac{16x^3-37x^2-16x+37}{x^2+2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There aren't any factors that cancel (except 3x). The best you can do is multiply it out.

$\displaystyle\frac{\frac{3x^2-3}{x}}{\frac{3(x^2+2)}{16x^2-37x}}=\frac{3(x^2-1)}{x}\cdot\frac{16x^2-37x}{3(x^2+2)}\\\\=\frac{x(x^2-1)(16x-37)}{x(x^2+2)}=\frac{16x^3-37x^2-16x+37}{x^2+2}$

What is the sum of the first 50 terms of the series 2 + 17 + 32 + 47+ ...?

Alex

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{18,475}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of this sum make the arithmetic sequence.

The fomula of a sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence:

$S_n=\dfrac{[2a_1+(n-1)d]\cdot n}{2}$

We have

$a_1=2\\d=17-2=32-12=47-32=15\\n=50$

Substitute:

$S_{50}=\dfrac{[2\cdot2+(50-1)\cdot15]\cdot50}{2}=(4+49\cdot15)\cdot25=(4+735)\cdot25\\\\=739\cdot25=18,475$

How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with

babymother [125]

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

$N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}$

N(t) = amount after the time t

$N_{0}$ = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

$N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t}$ or more simply $N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }$
