Answer:100

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand

x = 150 - 0.5x

Add 0.5x to both sides

x + 0.5x = 150

Simplify x + 0.5x to 1.5x

1.5x = 150

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 150/1.5

Simplify 150/1.5 to 100

x = 100

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation $x^2+4=6x$ is 5.24 and 0.76 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, the given Quadratic equation, $x^2+4=6x$

This can be written as , $x^2-6x+4=0$

We have to solve using quadratic formula,

For a given quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ we can find roots using,

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ...........(1)

Where, $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ is the discriminant.

Here, a = 1 , b = -6 , c = 4

Substitute in (1) , we get,

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot 1 \cdot (4)}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{20}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6\pm 2\sqrt{5}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x={3\pm \sqrt{5}}$

$\Rightarrow x_1={3+\sqrt{5}}$ and $\Rightarrow x_2={3-\sqrt{5}}$

We know $\sqrt{5}=2.23607$ (approx)

Substitute, we get,

$\Rightarrow x_1={3+2.23607}$ (approx) and $\Rightarrow x_2={3-2.23607}$ (approx)

$\Rightarrow x_1={5.23607}$ (approx) and $\Rightarrow x_2=0.76393}$ (approx)

Thus, the two root of the given quadratic equation $x^2+4=6x$ is 5.24 and 0.76 .

One of the main contaminants of a nuclear accident, such as that at Chernobyl, is strontium-90, which decays exponentially at a

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: $P=0.975^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is

$y=A(1-r)^t$ , where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay

Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. $P=\frac{A(1-0.02)^t}{A}=\frac{(0.975)^t}{1}$

Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is $P=0.975^t$

The diameter of a sphere is 16 cm. What is the sphere's volume? Round to the nearest tenth.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

V ≈ 2144.70 $cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius is going to be used instead of the diameter. Half of 16 is 8, and so that will be the value that shall be used.

$V = (4/3)\pi (8)^3$

V ≈ 2144.66 $cm^3$

V ≈ 2144.70 $cm^3$
