Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 6x = 2x^2 + 15

2x^2-2x^2+6x=15

6x = 15

x= 5/2 when simplified

Answer: x = 5/2 = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

2x (x + 3) = 2x² + 15

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

2x · x + 2x · 3 = 2x² + 15

2x² + 6x = 2x² + 15

Subtract 2x² on both sides

2x² + 6x - 2x² = 2x² + 15 - 2x²

6x = 15

Divide 6 on both sides

6x / 6 = 15 / 6

x = 15/6

$\boxed{x=\frac{5}{2} }$

Hope this helps!! :)

If r(x)=2-x^2 and w(x)=x-2, what is the range of (w*r)(x)

horrorfan [7]

First, find the product (w*r)(x): (w*r)(x) = (x-2)*[2-x^2] = 2x - x^3 - 4 + 2x^2

This is a cubing function. Since the sign of the cube-of-x term is negative, the graph will begin in Quadrant II and pass through Quadrant IV. There are no limits on y. Thus, the range is (-infinity, +infinity).

Situation:

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

5.5 days (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula:

$\sf N=N_0e^{-kt}$

$\sf N_0$ = initial mass (at time t=0)
N = mass (at time t)
k = a positive constant
t = time (in days)

Given values:

$\sf N_0$ = 11 g
k = 0.125

Half-life: The time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

To find the time it takes (in days) for the substance to reduce to half of its initial value, substitute the given values into the formula and set N to half of the initial mass, then solve for t:

$\begin{aligned}\sf N & = \sf N_0e^{-kt}\\\\\implies \sf \dfrac{11}{2} & = \sf 11e^{-0.125t}\\\\\sf \dfrac{1}{2} & = \sf e^{-0.125t}\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf \ln e^{-0.125t\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf -0.125t \ln e\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf -0.125t(1)\\\sf t & = \sf \dfrac{\ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}{-0.125}\\\\\sf t & = \sf 5.545177444...\\\\\sf t & = \sf 5.5\:\:days\:\:(nearest\:tenth)\end{aligned}$
