The half life of a certain tranquilizer in the bloodstream is 36 hours. How long will it take for the drug to decay to 87% of the original dose? Use the exponential decay model to solve.

Answers

Answer 1

Finding the Decay constant(λ):

λ = 0.693 / (half-life)

we are given that the half-life is 36 hours

λ = 0.693 / (36)

λ = 0.01925 /hour

Time taken for 87% decay:

Since decay is first-order, we will use the formula:

[tex]t = \frac{2.303}{decay constant}log(\frac{A_0}{A} )[/tex]

Where A₀ is the initial amount and A is the final amount

Let the initial amount be 100 mg,

the final amount will be 87% of 100

Final amount = 100*87/100 = 87 mg

Replacing the values in the equation:

[tex]t = \frac{2.303}{0.01925}log(\frac{100}{87} )[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{2.303}{0.01925}*0.06[/tex]

t = 7.18 hours

We used 'hours' as the unit because the unit of the decay constant is '/hour'

Therefore, the drug will decay to 87% of initial dosage after 7.18 hours

Gabrielle is 13 years older than Mikhail. the sum of their ages is 113. what is mikhails age?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

g=m+13

g+m=113

use substitution

Answer:

50 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Mikhail's age is x.

If so, Gabrielle's age would be 13 years older, therefore x + 13

We know that the sum of their ages is 113, so we can form this equation:

x + x + 13 = 113

Solving this equation, we get:

x + x = 100

2x = 100

x = 50

50 is Mikhail's age, so Gabrielle's age is 63

A bookstore costs $78 a day to keep open, and it spends $14 for each book
that it sells. If each book sells for $20, what is the break-even point for this
bookstore?
O A. n= 14
O B. n= 13
O C. n = 22
O D. n = 20

Answers

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

13

The break even point for this bookstore is n = 13.

What is Break-even Point?

Break even point is the point where the total revenue and total cost are equal to each other. That is, person does not suffer from loss or does not acquire profit.

Given that,

Cost for the bookstore for a day to keep open = $78

Cost for each book = $14

Let n denote the number of books made or sold in a day.

Then total cost for n books = 78 + 14n

Selling price for each book = $20

Revenue from n books = 20n

Break even point is the point when,

Total revenue = total cost

20n = 78 + 14n

6n = 78

n = 13

Hence the break even point for the store is n = 13.

THE amusement park won't allow kids to ride roller-coasters until they are a minimum of 48 inches tall. Michael is now 42 inches tall, and grows about 1/2 inch every month. How many months will it be until Michael can read a roller coaster? Please show me the individual steps?

Answers

Answer: It will one year (or 12 months) before Michael is able to ride the roller coaster.

Step-by-step explanation: Because he grows a half inch every month, this means that It takes him two months to grow one full inch. Because he has to grow six inches, you just multiply 2 by 6 to get 12 months or one year.

Answer:

48-42=6, which is how much Michael needs to grow.

1/2x=6, where x is the number of months

x = 12 months.

1 year = 12 months so the answer is one year.

Find the exact values of the solutions in the interval 0 <= x < 2pi of the following equations without using a calculator. a) 3sec(x) + 2 = 8

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{3}\,rad[/tex], b) [tex]x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = \frac{3\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{3} = \frac{5\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{4} = \frac{7\pi}{4} \,rad[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We proceed to solve the expression by algebraic and trigonometrical means:

1) [tex]3\cdot \sec x + 2 = 8[/tex]

2) [tex]3\cdot \sec x = 6[/tex]

3) [tex]\sec x = 2[/tex]

4) [tex]\frac{1}{\cos x} = 2[/tex]

5) [tex]\cos x = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

6) [tex]x = \cos^{-1} \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Cosine has positive values in first and fourth quadrants. Then, we have the following two solutions:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{3}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = \frac{5\pi}{3}\,rad[/tex]

b) We proceed to solve the expression by algebraic and trigonometrical means:

1) [tex]6\cdot \cos^{2} x = 3[/tex]

2) [tex]\cos^{2} x = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

3) [tex]\cos x = \pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

4) [tex]x = \cos^{-1} \left(\pm \frac{\sqrt {2}}{2} \right)[/tex]

There is one solution for each quadrant. That is to say:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = \frac{3\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{3} = \frac{5\pi}{4}\,rad[/tex], [tex]x_{4} = \frac{7\pi}{4} \,rad[/tex]

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 35%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 45% off clearance items. What percent of the original price do you end up paying?

Answers

Your answer is 35.75%.

Let’s pretend something at the store is $100. (It will save some math later)

100 - 35% leaves 65% (0.65 as a decimal)
100 x 0.65 = 65
That’s the price after the first discount. If we take 45% off of the sale price, we’ll be left with 55%, 0.55

65 x 0.55 = $35.75

Now normally you’d compare 35.75(sale price)/ 100(original price) to % off (x)/100, but doe this example, it’s unnecessary.

35.75/100 = x%/100

tanx cscx= 1/f(x)
simplify and write the trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine​

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = cos(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx cscx = (sinx/cosx) * (1/sinx) = 1/cosx

1/f(x) = 1/cosx

f(x) = cos(x)

The given trigonometric equation in terms of sine and cosine​ is f(x)=cosx.

The given trigonometric function is tanx·cscx= 1/f(x).

What is the trigonometric equation?

A trigonometric equation is one that involves one or more of the sixs sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. Some trigonometric equations, like x = cos x, can be solved only numerically, through successive approximations.

We know that, tanx = sinx/cosx and cscx=1/sinx

Now, 1/f(x) = tanx·cscx

= sinx/cosx × 1/sinx

= 1/cosx

So, 1/f(x) = 1/cosx

Take inverse on both the side of equation, we get

f(x)=cosx

Hence, the given trigonometric equation in terms of sine and cosine​ is f(x)=cosx.

FREE BRAINLIST NEED HELP ASAP Revise this to make it more persuasive and formalMany cities and towns have community gardens--places the city council sets aside for people to rent garden space and plant a few veggies or flowers. The question, though, is whether they are totally useless or not. To evaluate this, it is important to look at how much time and how much money are needed to set the garden up, what it takes to maintain the gardens, and whether people use them and benefit from them. When you look at the big picture, community gardens in most large cities are awesome. However, as someone who visits the community garden in my small town every now and then, let me tell you, it is pricey, dicey, and seedy but not in a good way, a real waste of space.Usually, city gardens need to be built from scratch. That means cities must buy and haul in all the materials for the garden beds. If these are raised beds. They must buy bricks or lumber. Sometimes organizers of community gardens will get lucky. Someone will donate materials to them. They still must have it moved on-site, though. Also, many community gardens require loads and loads of dirt and fertilizer, plus, an irrigation system. It takes a lot to make a garden from zilch. The costs can far outweigh the benefits in small communities. Larger cities can make this work. They have more options for materials. They also have more people using the completed garden.The next important thing to look at is how the community keeps up the garden. Often community gardens require their renters to spend a certain amount of time weeding and watering the garden. While this might sound good in theory, my experience is that people rarely follow through. They usually start out doing a bang-up job in the spring during planting time, but then their lives get more and more swamped, so they disregard this commitment. If a city is large enough to have someone on site. Maintenance is not as big of a deal. However, in my small community garden, no one is ever around. In fact, weeds are the reigning vegetable growing in our community garden. This makes our town's community garden a waste of time.Thanks, Weirdo12345 The California Mussel ( Mytilus californianus ) is the natural prey of the shore crab ( Carcinus maenas ).
