Didn't you mean "Find the possible value or values of z? y is not at all present in this equation.

z^2 - 4z + 4 = 0 can be factored into (z-2)(z-2). Thus, the given equation has two equal, real solutions: z=2 and z=-2.

One light-year equals 5.9 x 1012 miles. How many light-years are in 6.79

inna [77]

Option B

The number of light years in $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles is 11508 light years

Solution:

Given that,

One light-year equals 5.9 x 10^12 miles

Therefore,

$1 \text{ light year } = 5.9 \times 10^{12} \text{ miles }$

To find: Number of light years in $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles

Let "x" be the number of light years in $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles

Then number of light years in $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles can be found by dividing $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles by miles in 1 light year

$\text{Number of light years in } 6.79 \times 10^{16} miles = \frac{6.79 \times 10^{16}}{5.9 \times 10^{12}}\\\\\text{Use the law of exponent }\\\\\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\\\\\text{Number of light years in } 6.79 \times 10^{16} miles = \frac{6.79}{5.9} \times 10^{16-12}\\\\\text{Number of light years in } 6.79 \times 10^{16} miles = 1.1508 \times 10^4\\\\\text{Number of light years in } 6.79 \times 10^{16} miles = 11508$

Thus number of light years in $6.79 \times 10^{16}$ miles is 11508 light years

Please help!

Answer: B

Explanation: an isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same, so if the base angles are both 34° then you can multiply that by 2 to get 68°. After that you know that you're still missing one of the angles so that missing angle is x. The equation you can set up to solve for x is the following: 68° + x° = 180°

Hope this helped! :)
