You can make some algebraic equations and solve it.
The first would be:
x \times y =  - 21
The second would be
x + y =  - 4
You can then rearrange the second into
x =  - 4 - y
And subsitute it into the first like so:
( - y - 4) \times y = -  21
After that, distribute the y into the parantheses.
{ - y}^{2}  - 4y =  - 21
Subtract the 21 on both sides and multiply by -1 on both sides:
{ - y}^{2}  - 4y  +  21 \\ {y}^{2}  + 4y  -  21
You then can factor it into:
(y + 3) \times (y - 7) = 0
With Zero Product Property, we can determine y to be either -3 and 7. Since the variables are interchangable, you can say the same about x, just that whatever x is, y must be the other value.


Thus, the answer is 7 and -3.

Which inequality can be used to explain why these three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle?
ryzh [129]

The answer choice which explains that the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is; AC + CB < AB.

<h3>Which inequality explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle?</h3>

Since, It follows from the triangle inequalities theorem that sum of the side lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

Hence, since the sum of sides AC + CB is less than AB, it follows that the required inequality is; AC + CB < AB.

A local eat-in pizza restaurant wants to investigate the possibility of starting to deliver pizzas. The owner of the store has d
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Read step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner already knows that the limit for the average time delivered pizzas is 38 minutes. So we conclude

1.-The resulting mean from sample data ( x ) ( 27 customers) need to be smaller than 38 minutes, any value of sample above 38 minutes means more time for the delivery action and will indicate a failure for the future project

2.-As sample size is smaller than 30 the test has to be  t-student one tail test to the left

Test hypothesis

Null hypothesis                       H₀                  x  = 38

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ                  x  <  38

We should test at a significance level α  = 0,05       (α = 5%)

If the result of the test is to accept  H₀  delivery project won´t be implemented, if on the other hand, H₀ is rejected then in the condition of the alternative hypothesis we accept Hₐ the sample indicates that we have a smaller average time than 38 minutes.

A substance with a half life is decaying exponentially. If there are initially 12grams of the substance and after 70 minutes the
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the half life formula

N=N_0e^{kt} where N is the amount after decay, No is the initial amount, e is Euler's number, k is the decay constant, and t is the time in minutes. For us, the first equation looks like this:

7=12e^{k(70)} and we will solve that for k and then use that value of k in the second equation to find time.

Begin by dividing 7 by 12 to get

\frac{7}{12}=e^{k(70)} Now take the natural log of both sides since the natural log and that e are inverses. The e then disappears:

ln(\frac{7}{12})=k(70)

Plug the left side into your calculator and then set it equal to the right side, giving us:

-.5389965007=70k

Divide both sides by 70 to get the k value of

k = -.00769995

Now the second equation looks like this:

2=12e^{(-.00769995)t where t is our only unknown now that we know k.

Begin by dividing both sides by 12 to get

\frac{1}{6}=e^{-.00769995t and take the natural log of both sides again to eliminate the e:

ln(\frac{1}{6})=-.00769995t

Take care of the left side on your calculator to get

-1.791759469 = -.00769995t and divide both sides by -.00769995 to get

t = 232.697 minutes
