For this case we must factor the following expression:

x ^ 2-7x-10

To factor, we must find two numbers that when added together give -7 and when multiplied by -10.

It is observed that there are not two whole numbers that comply with the aforementioned.

Thus, the following equation applies:

x = \frac {-b \pm\sqrt{b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}

Where:

a = 1\\b = -7\\c = -10

We replace:

x = \frac {- (- 7) \pm \sqrt {(- 7) ^ 2-4 (1) (- 10)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 40}} {2}\\x = \frac {7 \sqrt {89}} {2}

So, the roots are:

x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}

Answer:

x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}

Assume the exponential growth model ​A(t)equals=Upper A 0 e Superscript ktA0ekt and a world population of 5.95.9 billion in 2006
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.4% is the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The exponential growth model ​is given by:

A(t) = A_0e^{kt}

where k is the growth rate, t is time in years and A_0 is constant.

The world population is 5.9 billion in 2006.

Thus, t = 0 for 2006

A_0 = 5.9\text{ billions}

We have to find the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Putting these values in the growth model, we have,

24 = 5.9e^{100k}\\\\k = \dfrac{1}{100}\ln \bigg(\dfrac{24}{5.9}\bigg)\\\\k = 0.01403\\k = 0.01403\times 100\% = 1.4\%

1.4% is the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Sue buys 8.5 pounds of chicken to make tacos. She uses 0.3 pound of chicken for each taco. How many tacos can Sue make?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Divide 8.5 by .3 and get 28.3333. She can't make tacos with the extra .3 pounds so the answer is 28 tacos

Find the Value of X.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ TUL + ∠ LUV = ∠ TUV , substitute values

x + 16 + 11x = 172 , that is

12x + 16 = 172 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

12x = 156 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 13 → C
