Pachacha [2.7K]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0$

$x - 5 = 0$

$x = 5$

$x + 2 = 0$

$x = - 2$

Land in downtown Columbia is valued at $10 a square foot. What is the value of a triangular lot with sides of lengths 119, 147,

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$87,461

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dimensions or sides of lengths of the triangle are 119, 147, and 190 ft

where S is the semi perimeter of the triangle, that is, s = (a + b + c)/2.

S = (119 + 147 + 190) / 2 = 456/ 2 = 228

Using Heron's formula which gives the area in terms of the three sides of the triangle

= √s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)

Therefore we have = √228 (228 - 119)(228 - 147)(228 - 190)

=> √228 (109)(81)(38)

= √228(335502)

=√76494456

= 8746.1109071 * $10

= 87461.109071

≈$87,461

Hence, the value of a triangular lot with sides of lengths 119, 147, and 190 ft is $87,461.

A cold tablet contains the following amounts of active ingredients: acetaminophen 325 mg, chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, and dex

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The number of tablets that can be prepared is 3076.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of active ingredients in the tablet is the sum of the amounts provided in the formula:

$325 mg + 2mg+15 mg=342 mg$

The percentages of each component in the formula are:

Acetaminophen: $\frac{325mg*100}{342mg}=95.03$ %

Chlorpheniramine maleate: $\frac{2mg*100}{342mg} =0.58$ %

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide: $\frac{15mg*100}{342mg}=4.39$ %

If 1 Kg= $10^{6}$ mg of acetaminophen is used, the needed amount of chlorpheniramine maleate would be:

$\frac{10^{6} mg *0.58}{95.03}=6153.85 mg$

Since there are 125 g = 125000 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate, there is enough of these ingredient to run the available acetaminophen out. Thus, the total amount of active ingredients that can be prepared with 1 kg of acetaminophen is:

$\frac{10^{6}mg*100}{95.03}=1052307.7mg$

Since each tablet weighs 342 mg, the number of tablets that can be prepared is:

$\frac{1052307.7mg}{342mg}=3076.923$

Which means that 3076 tablets can be prepared and a there will be a remanent of 0.923*342 mg = 315.69 mg of active ingredients.

1500 soldiers arrive at a training camp. A few soldiers desert the camp. The drill sergeants divide the remaining soldiers into

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The number of deserters is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.

The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.

If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.

If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.

If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.

If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

$(1431-3)/11=1428/11=129.82\\\\(1466-3)/11=1463/11=133$
