Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 13 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 90 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 62 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of Element X will reach 62 grams in 7.0 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the time of decay of Element X by using the exponential decay equation:

[tex] \frac{dm}{dt} = -\lambda t [/tex]

The solution of the above equation is:

[tex]m_{(t)} = m_{0}e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]     (1)

Where:  

t: is the time =?

λ: is the decay constant                                                                                        

[tex]m_{(t)}[/tex]: is the mass at time t = 62 grams

[tex]m_{0}[/tex]: is the initial mass = 90 grams

First, we need to calculate λ

[tex] \lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} [/tex]   (2)    

Where [tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] is the half-life = 13 years

By entering equation (2) into (1) and solving for "t" we have:

[tex]\frac{m_{(t)}}{m_{0}} = e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}*t}[/tex]    

[tex]ln(\frac{m_{(t)}}{m_{0}}) = -\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}*t[/tex]      

[tex]t = -ln(\frac{m_{(t)}}{m_{0}})(\frac{t_{1/2}}{ln(2)}) = -ln(\frac{62}{90})(\frac{13}{ln(2)}) = 7.0 y[/tex]  

Therefore, the mass of Element X will reach 62 grams in 7.0 years.

I hope it helps you!

Answers

Answer:

Evelyn's dance class on Saturday starts at 11:05 A.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this because if her class takes an hour and 40 minutes you would subtract the hour and 40 minutes from 12:45 so you could do 12 - 1 which equals 11. Then you would do 45 - 40 which equals 5. And last you would put the new times together so it would be, 11:05. Her dance class starts at 11:05 A.M.

Answer:

For the triangle, its area is 32.1 inches.

For the trapezoid, its area is 170 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is A = h * b/2, where h is for height and b is for base. There seems to be two measurements at the base of the triangle so what I did is I added together 3.5 and 7.2 and got 10.7. The slant measurement of the triangle isn't important in this formula so just pretend 5.5 in isn't there. Multiply 10.7 (base) to 6 (height) and you'll get 64.2. Now divide the product by 2 and you'll get 32.1 inches as the area of the triangle.

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is A = ((a + b)/2)h, where a is base A, b is base B, and h is the height. This formula looks a bit complicated but if you know a bit of PEMDAS, then you'll understand the formula. Again, there are two measurements at the base of the trapezoid but simply, I added them to get 24 and the slants don't make any use for this formula either. Add 10 (base A) and 24 (base B) to get 34. Now divide 34 by 2 and you'll get 17. Finally, multiply the product to 10 (height) and you'll get 170 feet as the area of the trapezoid.

If you don't know PEMDAS, just comment something related to "Can you explain what PEMDAS is?" or "What is PEMDAS?" and I will answer your question as quick as I possibly can. I hope this helps!

other way multiply 5 by 15 and add it to 1

t( 15 ) = t( 1 ) + [ 14 × ( Constant value ) ]

Write a linear equation that intersects ytte points. Then willes second linear equation that intersecta y at just one point, and ther equation that does not intersecty Expten how you found the linear equations 40

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ y = 2x +8[/tex]

[tex](b)\ y = 0[/tex]

[tex](c)\ y = -5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = x^2[/tex]

First, graph [tex]y = x^2[/tex] (See attachment)

We are not limited to any particular linear equation; as long as we meet the required condition

Solving (a): Equation of a line that intersects [tex]y = x^2[/tex] at two points

Select any two points on opposite sides of the curve

The selected points are:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (4,16)[/tex]

Calculate slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{16 - 4}{4 - -2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{12}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m = 2[/tex]

The equation is then calculated using:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y = 2(x - -2) + 4[/tex]

[tex]y = 2(x +2) + 4[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y = 2x +4 + 4[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x +8[/tex]

Solving (b): Equation of a line that intersects [tex]y = x^2[/tex] at one point

A good illustration of this is x-axis

Because it intersects with the line at just one point, which is origin (0,0).

The equation of line at this point is:

[tex]y = 0[/tex]

Solving (c): Equation of a line that does not intersect [tex]y = x^2[/tex]

Here, we make use of any horizontal line below the x-axis

Select any two horizontal points below the x-axis

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-5,-5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (5,-5)[/tex]

Calculate slope

[tex]m = \frac{-5--5}{5--5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{0}{10}[/tex]

[tex]m = 0[/tex]

The equation is then calculated using:

[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

[tex]y = 0(x - -5) + (-5)[/tex]

[tex]y = 0-5[/tex]

[tex]y = -5[/tex]

whats the average rate of change of h over the interval 5 ≤ t ≤ 9?

Answers

Given:

The graph of a function.

To find:

The average rate of change of h over the interval [tex]5\leq t\leq 9[/tex].

Solution:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is:

[tex]m=\dfrac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

So, the average rate of change of h over the interval [tex]5\leq t\leq 9[/tex] is:

[tex]m=\dfrac{h(9)-h(5)}{9-5}[/tex]

From the given graph it is clear that [tex]h(9)=7,h(5)=3[/tex]. Substituting these values, we get

[tex]m=\dfrac{7-3}{9-5}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{4}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m=1[/tex]

Therefore, the average rate of change of h over the interval [tex]5\leq t\leq 9[/tex] is 1.

Answers

Answer: d.

2x + x = 180: 60°and 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= one of the supplements.  (smaller)

As per given , measure of second angle = 2x

We know that,

The sum of two supplements = 180 degrees

Then,

smaller angle + larger angle =180°

i.e. x+2x = 180°

3x= 180°

x=60°

then, 2x = 2 (60°) = 120°

hence, the correct option is d.

2x + x = 180: 60°and 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello I'll show a demonstration, with a picture and explanation. Ok so as shown in the picture i circled the base and height those are basically what you have to multiply to find the area.

we are given the height for rectangle a but not the base so we have to find it we know the base at the bottom for the whole thing is 5 and the base for B is. 3 so we can just subtract 3 from 5 to find A's base so... 5 - 3 = 2

now we have everything we need to find the area so....

4 × 2 = 8 so rectangle a is 8

3 × 8 = 24 so rectangle b is 24

then for the whole figure we can just add those two up for the entire area so...

24 + 8 = 32 therefore the figures area is 32 Hope that helps!

In the design shown below, four semicircles are attached to a square whose area is 36 square centimeters. Which of the following is closest to the total area of the shaded semicircles, measured in square centimeters?

Answers

Answer:

56.549 cm   (choice 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of the square if 36 cm, then each side is 6 cm.

That means the diameter for each semi circle is also 6 cm.

Formula for a semi circle is 1/2(πr²)

We need the radius, which is half the diameter. So the radius is 6÷2= 3

Now plug in to the formula.

A= 1/2(π3²)

A= 14.137 (nearest hundredths)

Now multiply that by 4, because there are 4 semi circles

4(14.137)= 56.549 cm (nearest hundredths)

Explanation for problem 1

In line 1, I used the distributive rule a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. On the left side the 3(n+2) becomes 3n+6. On the right side, the 9(6-n) becomes 54-9n

On the next line, I added 9n to both sides. The 3n on the left side updates to 3n+9n = 12n.

For the third line, I subtracted 6 from both sides. Then the last line involves dividing both sides by 12 to fully isolate n. To confirm the solution n = 4, plug it back into the original equation. You should get the same thing on both sides after simplifying.

------------------------------------

Explanation for problem 2

The steps here are similar as problem 1, but this time we're involving fractions. Unfortunately, these steps don't involve clearing out the fractions which is often a handy trick to use.

We use the distributive rule on line 1

For line 2, we subtract 2m/9 from both sides. Think of 2m/3 as 6m/9 to help combine the fractions. The denominators must be the same for you to be able to add or subtract fractions.

For line 3, we subtract 4/3 from both sides. Think of 4/3 as 12/9.

The last step is to multiply both sides by 9/4, which is the reciprocal of 4/9. Your teacher made a typo on the right hand side of the last line. It should read [tex]\frac{4}{9}m[/tex] and not [tex]\frac{2}{9}m[/tex]. Refer to the previous line.
