Mathematics
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

s ≈ - 0.5 , s ≈ 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

s² - 8s - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

s² - 8s = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides

s² + 2(- 4)s + 16 = 4 + 16

(s - 4)² = 20 ( take square root of both sides )

s - 4 = ± \sqrt{20} ( add 4 to both sides )

s = 4 ± \sqrt{20}

Then

s = 4 - \sqrt{20} ≈ - 0.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← smaller solution

s = 4 + \sqrt{20} ≈ 8.5 ( to the nearest tenth ) ← larger solution

Integers is
adell [148]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-s.ep explanation:

6. Let the 3 integers be k-2, k and k+2.

So k(k+2)-k(k-2) = 28

k^2 + 2k - k^2 + 2k = 28

4k = 28

k = 7.

So the 3 integers are 5, 7 and 9.

The population of white rhinos in 2001 was 11,670. The population is declining by 9% each year. What is the population expected
aksik [14]

You see I need to know also the reproduction rate as well to equalize it. If 9% of the population declines each year from 2001 to 2021, around 21,006 would die by 2021. Which is 180% more than the population. If the reproduction rate isn't high enough to beat the declination rates, they'd be extinct by then.

Can y’all help me I have two more to go
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use a calculator, or this way of thinking about it :

the sqrt of 49 is 7. so rt46 is too small, and rt51 may be too big. rt50 is closer to rt49 ( 7's square) than rt47. so it is rt50

What is (-3 3/4) - (2 1/4)?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the expression:

-3\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{1}{4}

Factor out the negative:

-3\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{1}{4}

-(3\frac{3}{4} +2\frac{1}{4})

Rewrite the sum:

-(3\frac{3}{4} +2\frac{1}{4})

-((3+2)+(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}))

Calculate the sum:

-((3+2)+(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}))

-(5+1)

Solve:

-(5+1)

-6
