A=Adam
m= Melissa

a+m = 32
m= 3a
Then 3a + a = 32 or 4a =32 then a = 8

Two cells are viewed and measured under a microscope. The approximate diameter

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

option D. 4.7 x 10-4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

• cell P: 5.0 x 10-4 meters

• cell Q: 3.0 x 10-5 meters

we have

The diameter of cell P is $5*10^{-4}\ m$

The diameter of cell Q is $3*10^{-5}\ m$

Rewrite the diameter of cell P as

$5*10^{-4}\ m=5*10^{-4}(\frac{10}{10})=50*10^{-5}\ m$

Find the difference

$50*10^{-5}\ m-3*10^{-5}\ m=47*10^{-5}\ m$

Rewrite the difference as

$47*10^{-5}\ m=47*10^{-5}}(\frac{10}{10})=4.7*10^{-4}\ m$

A lock has 5 buttons. The lock is opened by pushing two buttons simultaneously and then by pushing one button alone. How many co

Pavel [41]

We first must calculate how many ways 2 oblects can be chosen from 5.

combinations = 5! / 2! * (5-2)!

combinations = 5*4 / 2

combinations = 10

There are 10 ways to choose the 2 buttons and 5 ways to choose the final butto so there are 10 * 5 = 50 different ways.

Amina used the quadratic formula to solve an equation. Her result shows two solutions that are complex numbers with imaginary pa

Mama L [17]

A quadratic equation has either two different real roots, one real root, or two conjugate complex roots (this is the case when the discriminant is negative, i.e. when you have no real roots).

Two conjugate complex roots have the same real part and opposite imaginary parts. So, the solutions to Amina's equation will be in this form:

$a+bi,\ \ a-bi$

For some $a,b\in\mathbb{R},\ b\neq 0$
