Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 15 minutes. If there are 400 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 87 grams?

Element X Decays Radioactively With A Half Life Of 15 Minutes. If There Are 400 Grams Of Element X, How

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The time it'd take for the element to have 15 g of mass is approximately 68 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radioactive decay of a substance is given by the following formula:

Since the element has a half life of 12 minutes, this means that after this time the mass of the element will be half of it was originally, therefore:

Therefore the mass of the element is given by:

If the initial mass is 760 g and the final mass is 15 g, we have:

The time it'd take for the element to have 15 g of mass is approximately 68 min.

6. Given that ABCD is a quadrilateral with A(-2,-2), B(1, 1),
C(1,6), and D(-2, 3), determine if it is a parallelogram.

Answers

Answer:

it is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

so first plot out points and then you find the slope for each of the corresponding lines.

First lets find the slope for AB. you must subtract them and make it -2-1/-2-1. it ends up having a slope of 1.

Then find the slope of the corresponding side(CD). this we will subtract -2-1/3-6. this will have a slope of 1 and will be parallel to AB.

Next you find the slopes of the other two sides starting with AC. we will subtract -2-(-2)/-2-3. this will be a vertical line which means it has a slope of 0.

finally the last step is you see if BD has an equal slope to AC. you then subtract 1-1/1-6. this is also a vertical line so the slope is 0 just like AC so they are both parallel.

in conclusion there are two sets of parallel lines so you have a parallelogram

the population of town increases by5℅ every year. In the last year, the population was 80,000. 1) find the present population 2) find the population of the town in the next two years.


explain step by step please​

Answers

Answer:

last year it was 80k

Step-by-step explanation:

Population increases by 5% every year

Last year it was 80,000

PRESENT POPULATION

Present population = 80,000 + 5% off 80,000

                               = 80,000 + 5/100 × 80,000

                               = 80,000 + 5 × 800

                               = 80,000 + 4,000

                               = 84,000

AFTER ONE YEAR

After this , the population again increases by 5%

Population = 84,000 + 5% off 84,000

                 = 84,000 + 5/100 × 84,000

                 = 84,000 + 5 × 840

                 = 84,000 + 4,200

                 = 88,200

ANSWERS

The population of present year is 84,000

After one year , the population becomes 88,200

Hope it helps :-)

Answer:

1. The Present population is 84,000

2. The next years population 88,200 and the year after that would be 92,610

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the previous year and multiply it by 1.05 you you get the current population. After that you take the current population and multiply it again by 1.05 since the population increases by 5% so continue multiplying by 1.05 to get the later years and so forth

PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = 5.65m [/tex][tex]\theta = cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{1}{3}\bigg)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it's given that a 6m ladder is leaned against a house, and the base of ladder is 2m away from the foot of the house. Here I am assuming x to be the height of the house.

Diagram :-

[tex] \begin{picture}(3,3)\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} \linethickness{.6mm}\put(0,0){\line(1,0){4}}\put(0.01,0){\line(4,3){4}}\put(4,0){\line(0,1){3}}\put(4.3,1){$\bf x $} \put(2,-0.5){$\bf 2m$}\put(1,1.5){$\bf 6m$}\put(.9,0.2){$\bf\theta $}\put(2,4){$\boxed{\sf - RISH4BH }$}\end{picture} [/tex]

Using, Pythagoras theorem ,

[tex]\longrightarrow h^2=p^2+b^2 [/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]\longrightarrow (6m)^2=x^2+(2m)^2[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]\longrightarrow 36m^2= x^2+4m^2 [/tex]

Subtracting 4m² on both sides,

[tex]\longrightarrow x^2 = 36m^2 -4m^2=32m^2 [/tex]

Put square root on both sides,

[tex]\longrightarrow x =\sqrt{32m^2}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ x = 5.65\ m}}[/tex]

Again in order to find out the angle of elevation,

[tex]\longrightarrow cos\theta =\dfrac{b}{h} [/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]\longrightarrow cos\theta =\dfrac{2m}{6m}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]\longrightarrow cos\theta =\dfrac{1}{3} [/tex]

Take cos inverse both sides,

[tex]\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{\theta =cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{1}{3}\bigg)}}[/tex]

The length of the wall is 5.66m and the angle of elevation is 70.56°

Data;

Length of Ladder (Hypothenuse) = x =  6mDistance from the wall to the foot of the ladder (adjacent)= y = 2mThe length of the side of the house (opposite) = z

Pythagorean Theorem

To calculate the length of the wall or side of the house, we have to use Pythagorean theorem which is given as

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

Let's substitute the values and solve for the length of the wall

[tex]x^2 = y^2 + z^2 \\6^2 = 2^2 + z^2 \\36 = 4 - z^2\\z^2 = 36 - 4\\z^2 = 32\\z = \sqrt{32} \\z = 5.66m[/tex]

The length of the wall is 5.66m.

Angle of Elevation

To calculate the angle of elevation, we can use trigonometric ratio SOHCAHTOA

since we have the value of all the sides, we can decide to use any of the ratios.

I will use sine angle to solve for the angle of elevation.

[tex]sin \theta = \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse} \\sin \theta = \frac{5.66}{6} \\sin \theta = 0.943\\\theta = sin^-^1 (0.943)\\\theta = 70.56^0[/tex]

The angle of elevation is 70.56°

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a(1+a)}{xy \cdot a^2(1+a)}[/tex]

Cancel the common factor [tex]a(1+a)[/tex] :

what’s the value of x

Answer:

Angle C = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all of the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180° and we are given the values of angle A and angle B, we can find angle C by subtracting A and B from 180.

35 + 52 = 87

180 - 87 = 93

Thus, the measure of angle C is 93°.

Now that we know the measure of angle C, we can determine the value of x.

Set up an equation:

3(x + 2) = 93

3x + 6 = 93

3x = 87

x = 29

Answer:

(a)  x = 29

(b) m∠C = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  The sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

⇒ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180

⇒ 35 + 52 + 3(x + 2) = 180

⇒ 87 + 3x + 6 = 180

⇒ 93 + 3x = 180

⇒ 3x = 87

⇒ x = 29

(b) As x = 29

⇒ m∠C = 3(29 + 2)

⇒ m∠C = 3 x 31

⇒ m∠C = 93°

growth, where t represents the number
of years.
a) What is the annual rate of growth?

b) Calculate the monthly rate of growth
to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answers

Answer:

  a) 2%

  b) 0.17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth is modeled by the equation ...

  y = a·b^x

where 'a' is the initial value, and 'b' is the growth factor.

When x is has units of time, the growth factor 'b' applies over 1 unit of x. The applicable growth factor for different units of time can be found using the rules of exponents applied to the equation written with x expressed in the different units.

The growth rate is related to the growth factor by ...

  b = 1 +r . . . . where r is the growth rate

  r = b -1 . . . . solved for r

__

a)

Your equation is ...

  V = 300(1.02^t)

where t is expressed in years. Then the corresponding annual growth rate is ...

  b = 1.02

  r = b -1

  r = 1.02 -1 = 0.02 = 2% . . . annual rate of growth

__

b)

When the equation is written so that t is expressed in months, it becomes ...

  V = 300(1.02)^(t/12)

  V = 300(1.02^(1/12))^t

Now, the growth factor (per month) is

  b = 1.02^(1/12)

and the monthly growth rate is ...

  r = 1.02^(1/12) -1 ≈ 1.00165158 -1 = 0.00165158

  r ≈ 0.17% . . . . monthly rate of growth

Kaylee is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, she made some two point shots and some three point shots. Kaylee scored a total of 24 points and made 3 more three point shots than two point shots. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of two point shots made, x,x, and the number of three point shots made, yy.
how would you graph this?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kayla made number of 2 points shots = x

and the number of 3 points shots = y

Since she made total nine shots so the equation will be

x + y = 9 --------(1)

She scores a total of 22 points so the equation will be

2x + 3y = 22 --------(2)

Now we multiply equation (1) by 2 and subtract it from equation (2)

(2x + 3y) - 2(x + y) = 22 - 18

2x + 3y - 2x - 2y = 4

y = 4

from equation (1)

x + 4 = 9

x = 5

Therefore, number of 2 shots are 5 and number of 3 shots are 4.

It certainly doesnt generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days couldand shouldreturn again.If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. Its dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.Lets begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we dont travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.Plans for Americas space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe.
