Ber is going to show us how to put the trip wire, which is supposed to protect the camp from polar bears. Nowadays, you see more polar bears on the glacier because of climate change. There is less sea ice, and they use the glaciers to transport themselves from one side of the island to the other. You tend to be a little bit worried when they come up to your tent and want to eat you.

Zeros of polynomials introduction | Polynomial graphs | Algebra 2 | Khan Academy

Let’s say that we have a polynomial ( p ) of ( x ) and we can factor it. We can put it in the form ( (x - 1)(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 4) ). What we are concerned with are the zeros of this polynomial. You might say, “What is a zero of a polynomial?” Well, those …

Worked example: Calculating an equilibrium constant from initial and equilibrium pressures

Let’s say we have a pure sample of phosphorus pentachloride, and we add the PCl5 to a previously evacuated flask at 500 Kelvin. The initial pressure of the PCl5 is 1.6 atmospheres. Some of the PCl5 is going to turn into PCl3 and Cl2. Once equilibrium is r…
