Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay problems are very similar to compound interest formulas, except the rate is subtracted from one, instead of adding to one.

I.e.

mass at time t, m(t) = M (1 - r)^(t/h)

where

M = initial mass (grams)

m (t) mass left at time t (grams)

h = half-life in number of days

r = 0.5 from "half-life"

t = time lapse in number of days

Here

M = 96

h = 5

t = 15

m(15) = 96(1-0.5)^(15/5)

= 96 (1/2)^3

= 12 grams

Divide these polynomials.
lord [1]
We can do this two ways: polynomial division or synthetic division.
Polynomial division involves factoring the equations first. Synthetic division is basically long division.

I'm opting for polynomial division cause it's shorter.

First, we factor ((x^4)-(x^3)-(7x^2)+4x-3).
((x^4)-(x^3)-(7x^2)+4x-3)=(x-3)((x^3)+(2x^2)-x+1)

Then divide:
((x-3)((x^3)+(2x^2)-x+1)) ÷ (x-3) = (x^3)+(2x^2)-x+1

So your answer is B

Crystal is paying the bill at a restaurant. Ignoring all taxes, the
Leona [35]

Answer: She will pay $64.90 in total.

Step-by-step explanation: The bill at the restaurant comes to $55 and Crystal wants to include an 18% tip.

So you will convert this into decimal form, which will be 0.18.

Now, you will multiply 55 by 0.18, giving you 9.9.

Add that to 55 and you will have your answer.

Have a great day!

Please I need to know if its true or false please lmk!!!​
Papessa [141]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to the complex conjugate root theorem:</u>

if a complex number is a root of a polynomial, its conjugate is also the root of the polynomial

We are given all the roots of the polynomial and there is only one complex root

Since according to the complex conjugate root theorem, there can be either none or at least 2 complex roots of a polynomial

We can say that this set of roots of a polynomial is incorrect
