Consider a radioactive substance with original weight 20grams given by W(x)= 20 x (0.95)^x, where W(x) is with weight after x years. In about how many years is the radioactive substance half of its original weight? Type answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

W(x)= 20 x (0.95)^x

Where W(x) = 20grams/2

= 10 grams

Hence:

10 = 20 x (0.95)^x

Divide both sides by 20

10/20 = 20 x (0.95)^x/20

0.5 = (0.95)^x

Take the log of both sides

log 0.5 = log (0.95)^x

log 0.5 = x log (0.95)

Divide both sides by log 0.95

x = log 0.5 / log 0.95

x = 13.513407334 years

Approximately to 1 decimal place =✓13.5 years

Therefore, it will take 13.5 years for the radioactive substance to be half of its original weight.

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the left part of the triangle can be solved first as it already has one angle and 1 side, we use trigonometry for this.

since we have 2 sides and 1 angle, to find the third side length we use the pythagoras theorem. a² + b² = c²

; 9² + 12² = c²

; 225 = c²

;√225 = c

; 15 = c

since we have all the lengths of the triangle, we can find out the angle opposite to the side length '9',

; [tex]\frac{Sin x}{9} = \frac{sin90}{15}[/tex]

; [tex]\frac{Sin 90}{15}[/tex] x 9 = Sinx

36.86 = x

now, we look at the triangle as a whole, the top angle being 90 degrees, we know that we have 36.86.

; 90 - 36.86 = 53.13

[tex]\frac{y}{Sin 90} = \frac{12}{Sin 36.86}[/tex]

; [tex]\frac{12}{sin 36.86}[/tex] x Sin 90 = 20

y = 20

again, since we have 2 sides of a right angled triangle we use a² + b² = c²

we arrange this formula since we have the hypotenuse

; 20² - 12² = 256

; √256 = x

; 16  = x

Value of An if n is 17 = -834

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A100 = 245

d = 13

n = 17

Find:

Value of An if n = 17

Computation:

An = a + (n-1)d

A100 = a + (100-1)13

245 = a + (99)17

245 = a + 1,287

a = 245 - 1,287

a = -1,042

So,

Value of An if n = 17

An = a + (n-1)d

A17 = -1,042 + (17-1)(13)

A17 = -1,042 + (16)(13)

A17 = -1,042 + 208

A17 = -834

Value of An if n is 17 = -834

2) The area of the left rectangle, A₃ = 5 × 8 = 40

3) The area of the rear rectangle, A₄ = 13 × 8 = 104

4) The area of the front rectangle, A₅ = 12 × 8 = 96

∴ A = A₁ + A₂ + A₃ + A₄ + A₅

A = 30 + 40 + 104 + 96 + 30 = 300

Jim B 65 + 65 + 104 + 96 + 40 = 370

The surface area of the triangular prism, A = 300 cm²

Jim-Bob's calculation contains two errors

Juan and Bill share a 12-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Juan has used 1 6 of the bucket, and Bill has used 2 3 of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

Answers

Answer: 2 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Juan and Bill share a 12-ounce bucket of clay and Juan used 1/6 of the bucket, the quantity used by Juan will be:

= 1/6 × 12

= 2 ounce bucket of clay.

On the other hand, Bill used 2/3 of the bucket of clay. The quantity used will be:

= 2/3 × 12

= 8 ounce

Therefore, the quantity they both used will be:

= 2 ounce + 8 ounce

= 10 ounces.

The ounces left in the bucket will be:

= 12 ounces - 10 ounces

= 2 ounces

Ashley uses a mix of six base-ten blocks to model a 3 digit number. All 3 digits of the number are the same. What is the number?

Answers

Answer:

The number is 222

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The method Ashley models the 3 digit number = A mix of six base-ten blocks

The digits of the 3 digit number are equal

Therefore, given that in a 3 digit number, we have, hundreds, 100s, tens, 10s, and units, 1s, we can find the digits as follows;

Let 'x' represent the number of hundreds digits, let 'y' represent the number of tens digits and let 'z' represent the number of units digits, we have;

x = y = z...(1)

x + y + z = 6...(2)

Substituting the value of x = y, and x = z from equation (1), in equation (2), we get;

x + y + z = x + x + x = 6

∴ 3·x = 6

∴ x = 6/3 = 2

x = 2 = y = z

Therefore, the 3-digit numbers xyz = 222

Determine the length of the radius of the circumscribed circle to the right triangle with the legs 7 cm and 4cm.Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

4.03cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the diameter of the circumscribed circle to the right triangle is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

To get the diameter, we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown;

d² = 7² + 4²

d² = 49 + 16

d² = 65

d = √65

d = 8.0622577

Since radius = d/2

radius = 8.0622577/2

radius = 4.0311288

Hence the radius of the circumscribed circle to the nearest hundredth is 4.03cm

Answer:

See the attached image for the graph of the first system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to graph the first system.

Start with the inequality [tex]-y \le -2x-3[/tex].  You can make this easier to work with by multiplying through by -1.  Remember to switch the inequality sign when multiplying by a negative number.  OK, you get the inequality

[tex]y \ge 2x+3[/tex].

The graph will be a half-plane -- all the points on one side of a line.  The line that is the boundary of the half-plane has an equation:  [tex]y=2x+3[/tex] -- just use an  =  sign instead of the inequality sign.

Graph the line.

The equation of the line is in slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b, so you can tell the y-intercept is 3 and the slope is 2 (think of it as a fraction 2/1).  Graph the line by going to the point (0, 3) -- the y-intercept -- then use the slope 2/1 interpreted as "rise over run" to go up 2 units and right 1 unit, arriving at the point (1, 5).  Draw the line through those points, (0, 3) and (1, 5).

Now you have to decide which side of the line the inequality [tex]y \ge 2x+3[/tex] is describing. To do this, pick a point which is not on the line, plug its coordinates into the inequality; if the result is true, shade the side of the line the point you picked is on (if false, shade the other side!)

An easy point to pick in this case is the origin, (0, 0).  Put zeros in for x and y in the inequality, and you'll get the statement [tex]0 \ge 2(0)+3 \, \Rightarrow \, 0 \ge 3[/tex].  That's false, so shade the side of the line not containing the origin.  In the image below, the shading is in purple.

All right, now for the other inequality, [tex]x+2\le 0[/tex].  Subtract 2 from both sides and the inequality becomes [tex]x \le -2[/tex].  This, too, graphs as a half-plane whose boundary line has equation [tex]x=-2[/tex].  Graph the line.  A line with an equation that has  x  in it but not  y is a vertical line with all its x-coordinates equal to the number on the right side of the equation.  This line is vertical and goes through points such as (-2, 0).

Pick a point not on the line (the origin works again).  Put the coordinates into the inequality to get [tex]0\le -2[/tex] which is false.  Shade the side of the vertical line which does not contain the origin.  In the image below, the shading is in black.

Finally,  YAY!  \o/ ,  the solutions to the system are all the points in the plane that got shaded twice.  In the image, they are the cross-hatched points above the purple line and to left of the black line.

Note: If you get a system with three inequalities, you'll be graphing three half-planes and looking for points that got shaded three times!

Note: One of your questions has the inequalities [tex]x \ge 0[/tex] and [tex]y \ge 0[/tex] in it.  These two inequalities say that the x and y coordinates are both positive or zero, confining your attention to Quadrant I in the upper-right part of a graph, above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis.
