The missing number is the square-root of the constant term on the left-hand-side, which equals sqrt(1/16)=1/sqrt(16)=1/4.
Check:
(x+1/4)^2=x^2+2*(1/4)x+(1/4)^2=x^2+x/2+1/16. ok
Answer: x= 1/4
Hmm... well, here ya go.
1.50 ÷ 0.05 = 30
So, the total is $30
As for the tax rate, including the total, it would be $31.50.
Hope I helped.
The answer is D. 140 cm². I think the circumference of the balloon means the circumference of the biggest circle. So the 21=2πr². While the surface area of a sphere is S=4πr². So the S≈140 cm².
Answer:
A=152
K= -Ln(0.5)/14
Step-by-step explanation:
You can obtain two equations with the given information:
T(14 minutes) = 114◦C
T(28 minutes)=152◦C
Therefore, you have to replace t=14, T=114 and t=28, T=152 in the given equation:

Applying the following property of exponentials numbers in (II):

Therefore
can be written as 
Replacing (I) in the previous equation:

Solving for k:
Subtracting 190 both sides, dividing by -76:

Applying the base e logarithm both sides:
Ln(0.5)= -14k
Dividing by -14:
k= -Ln(0.5)/14
Replacing k in (I) and solving for A:

Dividing by 0.5
A=152
