The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass. Starting with 175 grams of a radioactive isotope, how much will be left rafter 5 half-lives? Round your answer to the nearest gram

Answers

Answer 1

Exponential Decay

The model for the exponential decay of a quantity Mo is:

[tex]M=M_o\cdot e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]

Where λ is a constant and t is the time.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes to halve its initial mass. It can be calculated by making M = Mo/2 and solving for t:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{M_o}{2}=M_o\cdot e^{-\lambda t} \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ e^{-\lambda t}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{Taking natural log:} \\ -\lambda t=-\log 2 \\ t=\frac{\log 2}{\lambda} \end{gathered}[/tex]

It's required to calculate the remaining mass of an isotope of Mo = 175 gr after 5 half-lives have passed, that is. we must calculate M when t is five times the value calculated above.

Substituting in the model:

[tex]M=175gr\cdot e^{-\lambda\cdot\frac{5\log 2}{\lambda}}[/tex]

Simplifying (the value of λ cancels out):

[tex]\begin{gathered} M=175gr\cdot e^{-5\log 2} \\ \text{Calculating:} \\ M=175gr\cdot0.03125 \\ M=5.46875gr \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest gram, 5 grams of the radioactive isotope will be left after the required time.

If f(x) = x² is vertically stretched by a factor of 18 to g(x), what is the equation of g(x)?

Answers

We need to find the equation of the new function g(x) obtained by vertically stretching the function:

[tex]f\mleft(x\mright)=x²[/tex]

Vertically stretching a function by a factor of k corresponds to multiplying the whole expression of function by k:

[tex]g(x)=k\cdot f(x)[/tex]

In this problem, we have k = 18. Thus, we obtain:

[tex]g(x)=18\cdot f(x)=18x²[/tex]

Answer:

a) 6

Explanation:

a) For the number line, the distance will be the difference between the endpoint and the initial point as shown;

Distance = -3 - (-9)

Distance = -3 + 9

Distance = 6units

b) -3 - (-9)

= -3 + 9

Since the modulus of a value returns a positive value, |6| = 6

e) |-9-(-3)|

84°

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 9 and 84 are alternate interior angles.

Since,

lines l and m are parallel, alternate interior angles are equal.

So,

5x + 9 = 84

Step 1 : Subtract 9 on both sides.

5x = 84 - 9

5x = 75

Step 2 : Divide 5 on both sides.

x = 75/5

x = 15

Hence,

The value of x is 15.

Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle. Round your answers to two decimal places. (Let b = 5.1.)

An image with triangle.

To find:-

The value of B,a,c.

Find the probability of getting 4 aces when 5 cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of cards

Then, the probability of having a hand with 4 aces is given by the division of these 48 possible hands over the total number of possible hands of 5 cards:

The values of f(0), f(2) and f(-2) for the polynomial f(x) = [tex]-x^{3} +7x^{2} -2x+12[/tex] are 12, 28 and 52 respectively.

According to the question,

We have the following function:

f(x) = [tex]-x^{3} +7x^{2} -2x+12[/tex]

Now, in order to find the value of f(0), we will put 0 in place of x.

f(0) = [tex]-0^{3} +7(0)^{2} -2(0)+12[/tex]

f(0) = 0+7*0-0+12

(More to know: when a number is multiplied with 0 then the result is always 0 even the number being multiplied with zero is in lakhs.)

f(0) = 0+0-0+12

f(0) = 12

Now, in order to find the value of f(2), we will put 1 in place of x:

f(2) = [tex]-2^{3} +7(2)^{2} -2(2)+12[/tex]

f(2) = -8+7*4-4+12

f(2) = -8+28-4+12

f(2) = 40 -12

f(2) = 28

Now, in order to find the value of f(2), we will put -2 in place of x:

f(-2) = [tex]-(-2)^{3} +7(-2)^{2} -2(-2)+12[/tex]

f(-2) = -(-8) + 7*4+4+12

f(-2) = 8+28+4+12

f(-2) = 52

Hence, the value of f(0) is 12, f(2) is 28 and f(-2) is 52.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

9)

it is not linear, because while x is increasing with every data point by 1, y is decreasing and increasing again, and the differences from one point to the other vary.

for a linear relationship also y has to change in a constant way, and the difference from one point to the next would be the same for all points.

10)

so, since it is not linear, it is quadratic then (since that was our only given alternative).

y = ax² + bx + c

we know c from point (0, -6). c = -6.

for a and b we need to use 2 data points with their x and y coordinates.

let's start with the first (-2, 14)

14 = a×(-2)² + b×-2 - 6 = 4a - 2b - 6

we can simplify that

7 = 2a - b - 3

and then

10 = 2a - b

the next point is (-1, -1)

-1 = a×(-1)² + b×-1 - 6 = a - b - 6

5 = a - b

so, we have the 2 equations

10 = 2a - b

5 = a - b

from the second we get

a = 5 + b

and that we can use in the first equation

10 = 2×(5 + b) - b = 10 + 2b - b

0 = b

therefore

5 = a - b = a - 0 = a

a = 5

and the equation is

y = 5x² - 6

11)

f(-7) = 5×(-7)² - 6 = 5×49 - 6 = 245 - 6 = 239

Rolls are being prepared to go to grocery stores. Divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so the ratio is 3 to 5

The number of rolls divided in the two groups so that the ratio is 3 to 5 is 27 and 45 respectively.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Rolls are being prepared to go to grocery stores.

Now, we have to divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so the ratio is 3 to 5.

Now, let's take the number of rolls given to the first group to be 3x and the number of rolls given to the second group to be 5x.

So, we have the following expression:

3x+5x = 72

8x = 72

x = 72/8

x = 9

So, the number of rolls for the first group:

3x

you want to buy one pair of pants, one t-shirt, and several pairs of socks. the pants cost $24.95, the t-shirt cost $22.50 and the socks are $5.95 per pair. how many pairs of socks can you buy if you have $80 to spend?*for this question you have to write and inequality solve it and answer the question in words*

Answers

ANSWER

5 pairs

EXPLANATION

We have that:

- one pair of pants cost $24.95

- one t-shirt costs $22.50

- one pair of socks cost $5.95

You want to buy one pair of pants, one t-shirt and several pairs of socks and you don't want to spend more than $80.

This means that everything you spend must be less than or equal to $80.

Let the number of pairs of socks you can buy be x.

This therefore means that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 24.95+22.50+(5.95\cdot x)\text{ }\leq80 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }24.95\text{ + 22.50 + 5.95x }\leq80 \\ \text{Find x:} \\ 47.45\text{ + 5.95x }\leq80 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ 5.95x }\leq80\text{ - 47.45} \\ 5.95x\text{ }\leq32.55 \\ x\text{ }\leq\frac{32.55}{5.95} \\ x\leq5.47 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Because we know that the number of pairs of socks must be a whole number, we have to approximiate to whole number, which will be:

x = 5

Therefore, you can buy at most 5 pairs of socks.
