Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 42 years, its mass decreases by
half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 50 grams, how long
would it be until the mass of the sample reached 45 grams, to the nearest tenth of a
year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.38548 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 2 [tex]e^{42k}[/tex]

1/2 =   [tex]e^{42k}[/tex]

ln(1/2) = 42k ln(e)

ln(1/2)/42 = k

k = -0.01650

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

45 = 50 [tex]e^{-0.01650t}[/tex]

45/50 =   [tex]e^{-0.01650t}[/tex]

ln(45/50) =  -0.01650 t ln(e)

ln(45/50)/ -0.01650 = t

t = 6.38548 years

Answer 2

The number of years for the radioactive element to reach a mass of 45 grams is given by t = 6.384129 years

What is half-life of an element?

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the radioactive isotope to decay. The half-life of a specific radioactive isotope is constant; it is unaffected by conditions and is independent of the initial amount of that isotope.

Half-life (symbol t½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value

The decay constant λ is = 0.693/t½

where t½ is the half-life of the element

Given data ,

Let the number of years be t

Let the initial mass of the element be a = 50 grams

The final mass of the element be ( a - x ) = 45 grams

Now , Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 42 years, its mass decreases by half

And , half life t½ = 42 years

So , the decay constant k = 0.693/t½

k = 0.693 / ( 42 )

k = 0.0165

And , k= 2.303/t {log (a/a-x)}

So , t = 2.303 / ( 0.0165 ) log ( 50/45 )

On simplifying , we get

t = 6.384129 years

Hence , the number of years for the radioactive element to reach 45 grams is 6.384129 years

QUESTION 2 Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the gran point micia the grea slope through: (5,-2), siope--1 Oay=-2=6 Oby=-2-3 O cy=-x=3 Ody=-z-6​

Answers

Answer:

y = -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1x +b

Using the point for x and y we can calculate b

-2 = -1(5)+b

-2 = -5+b

Add 5 to each side

-2+5 = b

3 = b

y = -x+3

Sam feels that students score better on math tests that take place on Fridays. The school provides Sam with the school math test average, but they cannot separate them by date taken. The school is too large for him to ask every student, so he randomly selects a sample of willing students' test scores after the next Friday's math test. He uses the method of hypothesis testing to compare the Friday scores against the true average of all scores. Frame the correct set of hypotheses for his research. Decide where the rejection region will lie.

For then null, the mean scores is assumed to be the same, and has such mean of Friday's test score takes the value of the population.

6 ÷ 4 = 1.5

Thus not a geometric sequence

B

1 ÷ 1 = 1

2 ÷ 1 = 2

Thus not a geometric sequence

C

Una empresa que trabaja en un mercado de competencia perfecta tiene una función de costos totales CT=Q^3-45Q^2+600Q+1.200 Las funciones de oferta y demanda de este mercado son: Qo=5P-300 y Qd=2.860-8P. Recuerde que la condición para maximizar beneficios dice que la empresa habrá de producir una cantidad tal que haga igualar sus costos marginales con el precio de equilibrio de mercado.

Answers

Answer:

La cantidad producida para maximizar las ganancias es de 915 unidades

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregunta: Calcule cuánto producirá para maximizar las ganancias.

La función de costo dada se presenta de la siguiente manera;

CT = Q³ - 45 · Q² + 600 · Q + 1200

La función de suministro es Qo = 5 · P - 300

La función de demanda es Qd = 2860 - 8 · P

A precio de equilibrio, tenemos;

Qo = Qd

Por lo tanto;

5 · P - 300 = 2860 - 8 · P

13 · P = 2.860 + 300 = 3.160

P = 3160/13

Por lo tanto;

Q = 2860 - 8 × (3160/13) = 11900/13 ≈ 915,38

La cantidad producida que maximiza las ganancias es de aproximadamente 915 unidades.

El costo total CT = 915³ - 45 × 915² + 600 × 915 + 1200 = 728,935,950

Answers

Let x be the number of cow.

Number of hens=180-x.

Since cows have 4 legs and hens 2,

So, 4x+2(180-x)=420.

or, 4x+360–2x=420

or, 2x=420–360

or, 2x=60

or,x=30.

So, number of cows is 30.

How is adding and subtracting radical expressions similar to adding and subtracting variables ?????

Answers

Answer: To add or subtract radicals, the indices and what is inside the radical (called the radicand) must be exactly the same. If the indices and radicands are the same, then add or subtract the terms in front of each like radical. If the indices or radicands are not the same, then you can not add or subtract the radicals.

Answer:

combining like terms. if the radicand is the you can combine the radical. this is the same as combining variables as long as the variable is the same if that makes sense

so like you can add 7a and 3a because they have the same variable a. you can combined 2 root 2 and 4 root 2 because the radicand is same <3

if 2/5 of the sweets in a bag is 60, how
many sweets would represent 1/3

Answers

Answer:

50 Candy

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 2/5 of the bag is 60 candy. By taking this information we can conclude that 1/5 of the bag is 30 candy. We know that 1/5 of the bag is 30, so 30 times 5 is 150 candy.

Now that we have found out that there is 150 candy total we can know divde 150 by 3 to find out how much candy is in 1/3 of the bag.

150/3 = 50 Candy

1/3 of the bag represent 50 candy.
