8

The sum of two numbers is 72. The greater number is 8 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the

smaller number? (1 point)
x(x − 8) = 72

x − (x + 8) = 72

x + (x + 8) = 72

x(x + 8) = 72

X+y=72
x-y=8

different terms add
similar signs subtract
2x+y-y=80
2x=80
x=40
y=32

SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}$

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ 0.65N_0=N_0e^{-0.0001t} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=\frac{0.65N_0}{N_0} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=0.65 \end{gathered}$

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

$\begin{gathered} ln(e^{-0.000t})=ln(0.65) \\ -0.0001t=ln(0.65) \\ t=\frac{ln(0.65)}{-0.0001} \\ t=4307.82916 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year

How to distribute this problem:<br> (x-8)^2 + 16

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

We conclude that:

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$\left(x-8\right)^2\:+\:16$

First, solve (x - 8)²

Apply Perfect Square formula: (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

$a=x,\:\:b=8$

$\left(x-8\right)^2=x^2-2x\cdot \:\:8+8^2$

$=x^2-16x+64$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+64+16$

$=x^2-16x+80$ Add the numbers: 64+16=80

Therefore, we conclude that:

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+80$

What is 4/7 of 210? please tell me I need to KNOW!!!!!. Please write your answer in simplest form

Anton [14]

It is 120 because you have to divide 210 by 7 which is 30 then multiply by 4 so 30 x 4 = 120.

Merrill is playing a simple game of dice. For every 6 rolled, Merrill will win $5. For any other number, he must pay $2. How muc

Schach [20]

Solution -

The probability of getting 6 from a single roll of a fair dice = $\frac{1}{6}$

The probability of getting any other number rather than 6 would be $1-\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

So when the outcome is 6, then he wins $5 ,otherwise he has to pay $2

So

E(X) = Expectation value = $(\frac{1}{6} )(5) - (\frac{5}{6} )(2)$ ( ∵ $5 gain so +ve and $2 loss so -ve)

= $\frac{-5}{6}$

∴ So Merrill will lose $\frac{5}{6}$ dollar
