Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for
stepan [7]
The decay rate should have units, it should be negative and it should be 100 times smaller than what you posted.
k = -.000124 / years

k = -.000124 / years
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.000124
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 5589.8951612903 </span> </span> </span>
Half-Life = 5,590 (rounded)

elapsed time = half-life * log(bgng amt / end amt) / log(2)
elapsed time = 5,590 * log(10) / <span> <span> <span> 0.3010299957 </span> </span> </span>
elapsed time = 5,590 * 1 / <span> <span> 0.3010299957 </span>
</span>elapsed time = <span> <span> <span> 18,569 years

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t
valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25
