I think the anwser is sixteen
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the function
g(0) = 0 - 0 - 84 = - 84 ← y- intercept
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is
x² - 5x - 84 = 0
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 84) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
The factors are - 12 and + 7, since
- 12 × 7 = - 84 and - 12 + 7 = - 5, thus
(x - 12)(x + 7) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 12
For this case what you must do is to graph both lines. (See attached graph) and see where both are cut.
We note that both lines are cut at the point (2,5)
Therefore the solution for f (x) = g (x) is x = 2
answer x = 2

Answer:
10·2^-8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The each day, the initial amount for that day is multiplied by 1/2. After 8 days, the initial amount has been multiplied by (1/2)^8, where the exponent of 8 signifies that (1/2) is a factor 8 times in the product.
After n days, the quantity remaining is ...
q(n) = 10·(1/2)^n = 10·2^(-n)
after 8 days the remaining amount is ...
q(8) = 10·2^-8 . . . grams
Answer:
P(n,4)÷P(n,2)
= (n-2)(n-3)
20 = 4 × 5 (two consecutive numbers)
(n-2)(n-3)=5×4
n-2=5
n=7
