Answer:

3×-6=3

3×=3+6

3×=9

×=3

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 3 by the variables in the bracket.

then you will get 3×-6=3.

take the -6 to the right hand side and it becomes+6

then you get 3×=3+6 therefore =3×=9

then divide both sides by 3.

3×÷3 and 9÷3

×=3

The weight of a radioactive isotope was 96 grams at the start of an experiment. After one hour, the weight of the isotope was ha

zimovet [89]

The starting weight of the radioactive isotope = 96 grams

Weight after one hour is half of the starting weight. So the weight of the radioactive isotope after 1 hour = 48 grams

After 2 hours the weight is half as compared to the weight after previous hour. So weight after 2 hours = 24 grams.

This means, after every hour the weight is being halved. The half life of radioactive isotope is one hour.

Since after every hour, the weight is being halved, the weight of the isotope can be modeled by an exponential equation.

So,

Initial Weight = W₁ = 96
Change factor = 1/2 = 0.5

The general equation of the sequence will be:

$\\ \\ W_{t}=96(0.5)^{t}$

Here t represents the number of hours. Using various values of t we can find the weight of the radioactive isotope at that time.

We can plot the sequence using the above equation. The graph is attached below.

The chart gives three different international calling plans. Jamie has budgeted $20 per month for international calls. Round ans

oksano4ka [1.4K]

A. 200.625 minutes B. 184.166 minutes C. 200 minutes (round these answers like the question asked) 4. Plan A is the best because you get the most minutes for your money. I will explain my work for A, but if you need to explain the rest just ask. So, if you have to pay $3.95 every month no matter what and $0.08 for every minute you talk you can write the equation as, Cost = 3.95 + 0.08m (m stands for minutes), and the cost is 20$ then the equation is 20 = 3.95 + 0.08m, subtract 3.95 from the right side to make it 16.05 = 0.08m, then divide everything by 0.08 to get m, which gives you m= 200.625

16. 5x^3 y^-5 • 4xy^3
20x^4y^-2

20x^4 • 1/y^2

=20x^4/y^2

17. -2b^3c • 4b^2c^2
= -8b^5c^3

18. a^3n^7 / an^4 (a^3 minus a = a^2 same as n^7 minus n^4 = n^3)
=a^2n^3

19. -yz^5 / y^2z^3

= -z^2/y

20. -7x^5y^5z^4 / 21x^7y^5z^2 (divide -7 to 21 and minus xyz)

= -z / 3x^2

21. 9a^7b^5x^5 / 18a^5b^9c^3

=a^2c^2 / 2b^4

22. (n^5)^4

Given g(x) = :-2 +4, solve for a when g(x) = 0.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

-7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for the composite g(f(2)). The simplest way to solve this is to evaluate f(2) and enter the solution in to your g function.

g(f(2))=g(-(2)^2-2(2)+4)=g(-4-4+4)=g(-4)

g(-4)=4/(-4(-4)-2)=4/(16-2)=4/14=2/7

Therfor, g(f(2))=2/7 **I'm assuming the -4x-2 is all in the denominator of the g(x) function. If -2 is not in the denominator you would have

g(f(2))=4/(-4(-4)) -2=4/16 -2=1/4 -2=1/4-8/4= -7/4
