Answer:

11.4 x 10 ^ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to convert 3.8 x 10^5 out of scientific notation. To do that, multiply 3.8 * 10^5, you'll get 380,000. This is the weight of each whale.
Now multiply the weight of each whale times 30. 380,000 * 30 = 11,400,000
Convert back to scientific notation. 11.4 x 10^6

What is the answer to this equation using the quadratic formula?<br> 3x^2+2x+4x=0

o-na [289]

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{3}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+2}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+4}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ x= \cfrac{ - (2) \pm \sqrt { (2)^2 -4(3)(4)}}{2(3)}\implies x=\cfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4-48}}{6}$

$x=\cfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{-44}}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{(-1)(2^2)(11)}}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-2\pm 2~i\sqrt{11}}{6} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{2(-1\pm i\sqrt{11})}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{-1\pm i \sqrt{11}}{3}$

mind you that it has two complex roots, or imaginary values.

-7 2/3 +(5 1/2) + 8 3/4 =

drek231 [11]

Answer:

6 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 2/3 +(5 1/2) + 8 3/4

Get a common denominator of 12

-7 2/3 * 4/4 +(5 1/2 +6/6) + 8 3/4*3/3

-7 8/12 + 5 6/12 + 8 9/12

Subtract the first two terms first

They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger

-7 8/12 + 5 6/12 = -2 2/12

-2 2/12 + 8 9/12

They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger

-2 2/12 + 8 9/12 = 6 7/12

Find the x- and y- intercepts of the following equation.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The x-intercept is $(4,0)$

The y-intercept is $(0,-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you have a function f:

$f = f(x,y) = 0$

The x-intercept is the value of x when $y = 0$ .

The x-intercept is the value of y when $x = 0$ .

Solution

We have:

$f(x,y) = -3x + 4y = -12$

$-3x + 4y + 12 = 0$

x-intercept

The x-intercept is the value of x when $y = 0$ . So:

$-3x + 4(0) + 12 = 0$

$-3x + 12 = 0$ *(-1)

$3x - 12 = 0$

$3x = 12$

$x = \frac{12}{3}$

$x = 4$

The x-intercept is $(4,0)$

y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when $x = 0$ . So:

$-3(0) + 4y + 12 = 0$

$4y + 12 = 0$

$4y = -12$

$y = \frac{-12}{4}$

$y = -3$

The y-intercept is $(0,-3)$
