Question 3 (1 point) Co-60 has a half life of 5.3 years. If a pellet that has been in storage for 26.5 years contains 14.5g of Co-60, how much of this radioisotope was present when the pellet was put in storage? Answer = grams Blank 1:​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

464 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of substance:

The amount of substance after t years is given by an equation in the following format:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Co-60 has a half life of 5.3 years.

This means that:

[tex]A(5.3) = 0.5A(0)[/tex]

We use this to find r. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{5.3}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{5.3} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[5.3]{(1-r)^{5.3}} = \sqrt[5.3]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.5^{\frac{1}{5.3}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.8774[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.8774)^{t}[/tex]

If a pellet that has been in storage for 26.5 years contains 14.5g of Co-60, how much of this radioisotope was present when the pellet was put in storage?

We have that [tex]A(26.5) = 14.5[/tex], and use this to find A(0). So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.8774)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]14.5 = A(0)(0.8774)^{26.5}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = \frac{14.5}{(0.8774)^{26.5}}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = 464[tex]

464 grams.

Answers

Answer:

y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the slope (m) using any two pairs of values, say (0, -7) and (2, -7):

Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (-7 -(-7))/(2 - 0) = 0/2 = 0

Slope (m) = 0

✔️Find y-intercept (b):

y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. From the table, when x = 0, y = -7.

Therefore, y-intercept (b) = -7

✔️ Substitute m = 0 and b = -7 into y = mx + b (slope-intercept form):

y = 0(x) + (-7)

y = -7

Answer:

x = 15 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to isolate the variable for this. Simply subtract by 3 to get the equation.

x + 3 = 15

   -  3    - 3

x = 15 - 3

the real answer would be 12, if you need that.

The formula for compound interest is:

Where:

A = the future value of the investment (including interest)
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested for

If Josh invests $500 in a 5-year fixed interest savings bond that pays 5% per annum, how much will his entire investment be worth at the end of the term?

Answers

Answer:

Future value, A = $642

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $500

Interest rate = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

Time, t = 5 years

n = 365

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] A = 500(1 + \frac{0.05}{365})^{365*5}[/tex]

[tex] A = 500(1 + 0.000137)^{1825}[/tex]

[tex] A = 500(1.000137)^{1825}[/tex]

[tex] A = 500*1.2840 [/tex]

Future value, A = $642

What is it’s equation in point slope form?

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is-

y = mx + b

y = y coordinate

m = slope, the rise/run

x = x coordinate

b = the y-intercept, the place the line crosses the y-axis.

Now, fill in the formula with the proper information.

y = -2x + b    You can use the point (10, 8) for the x and y coordinates to find b

  8 = -2(10) + b     Now solve for b

  8 = -20 + b

+20  +20

28 = b                    Now substitute 28 in for b

y = -2x + 28

Answer:

y-8=-2(x-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8=-2(x-10)

Evaluate the following

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the following

Lim (xcotx)

x->0

Note that cotx = cosx/sinx

The expression becomes

Lim (xcotx) = Lim (xcosx/sinx)

x->0               x->0

= 0cos0/sin0

= 0/0 )(ind)

Apply l'hospital rule

= Lim d/dx(xcosx/sinx)

x->0          

= lim (-xsinx + cosx)/cosx

    x->0

= -0sin0+cos0/cos0

= 0+1/1

= 1/1

= 1

Hence the limit of xcotx as x tends to zero is 1
