The radioactive sponteanous decay of the parent nucleus gives rise to the daughter nucleus.

What is radioactivity?

Radioactivity refers to the sponteanous decay of a substance. We have the formula;

N(t) = Noe^-kt

Where;

N(t) = amount of radioactive material left after time t

No = amount of radioactive material initially present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

Let us now solve the questions individually;

a)

No = 20 pounds

N(t) = ?

k = 0.0231

t = 10 years

N(t) = 20e^-(0.0231 * 10)

N(t) = 16 pounds

b)

No =  80 pounds

N(t) = ?

k = 0.0248

t =  75 years

N(t) =80e^-(0.0248 * 75)

N(t) = 12.45 pounds

C. c.

What is the area of a triangle?

The area of a triangle of base b and height h is given by:
A = 0.5bh.

Item a:

We have that b = 40, h = 35, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 40 x 35 = 700.

The density is the number of animals divided by the area, hence:

D = 42500/700 = 60.7.

Item b:

We have that b = 38, h = 25, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 38 x 50 = 950.

Then, the density is:

D = 60800/950 = 64.

Item c:

We have that b = 42, h = 49, hence the area in miles squared is given by:

A = 0.5 x 42 x 49 = 1029.

Then, the density is:

D = 57300/1029 = 55.7.

Hence option C is correct.

Arnold is about to go on a 500-mile car trip. His mechanic recommends that he buy

trip. This new oil, however, will cost $20. Is it worthwhile for Arnold to buy the oil if he
has a coupon for $4 dollars off the price?

Answers

500 miles/ 25 = 20 x 0.50 = $10

He will save a total of $10


20-4 = $16

it will cost him $16 for the oil which is more than what he saves in gas so buying the oil is not worth it.

45? Three non student tickets plus parking so 12*3 +9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it given that her parent and grandmother attend a soccer game. Thus, we can see that there is no students.

Also given that:

Student tickets: $6

Non-Student tickets : $12

Parking : $9

Thus,

Non- Student tickets:$ 12 (Parents and grandmother are not students)

Parking: $9 ( Since they attend a soccer game they need somewhere to park)

Parents = 2 person (Mom and Dad)

Grandmother = 1 person

1 + 2 = 3

Now,

Since Non-student tickets = $12

3 * 12 +9

36 + 9

45

Hence, the family spend $45 to attend the game.

Anna took a job that paid $100 the first week she qaa guaranteed a raise of 5% each week how much money will she make in all over 8 weeks round the answer to the nearest cent

Answers

Answer:

140.71

Step-by-step explanation:

WEEK 1- 100

WEEK 2- 105

WEEK 3-110.25

WEEK 4-115.7625

WEEK 5-121.550625

WEEK 6-127.62815625

WEEK 7-134.009564063

WEEK 8-140.710042266

By using an exponential equation, we will see that in the first 8 weeks she makes $954.90.

How much will she make in 8 weeks?

We know that the first week she makes $100, and for each week after that, she makes an extra 5%.

Then, the second week she makes:

W(2) = $100*(1 + 5%/100%) = $100*(1.05)

The third week she makes:

W(3) = $100*(1.05)*(1 + 5%/100%) = $100*(1.05)^2

We already can see the exponential pattern, for the N-th week, the salary will be:

W(N) = $100*(1.05)^(N - 1)

Then what she wins in the first 8 weeks is:

W(1) = $100W(2) = $100*1.05 = $105W(3) = $100*(1.05)^2 = $110.25W(4) = $100*(1.05)^3 = $115.75W(5) = $100*(1.05)^4 = $121.55W(6) = $100*(1.05)^5 = $127.63W(7) = $100*(1.05)^6 = $134.01W(8) = $100*(1.05)^7 = $140.71

Now we just need to add these 8 values, we will see that the total money that she makes in these 8 weeks is:

M = $954.90

Lacey worked 40 hr. at $18.75 per hour. Find her pay using P = RH.

Answers

Answer:

750

Step-by-step explanation:

I multiplied the hours she worked by the amount of payment per hour.

Answer:

$750

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lacey worked 40 hours with the condition that each hours, Lacey will be paid for $18.75, because they worked 40 hours, therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{P = 18.75+18.75+18.75+...+18.75}[/tex]

From above, you add from first hour pay to 40th hour pay. However, that’d take quite a long time to evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\sum_{H=1}^{40} 18.75 = 18.75 \cdot 40}[/tex]

Then evaluate 18.75 * 40 and therefore the solution is $750

For usage of formula:

P = RH for P = pay, H = hour and R = rate (pay per hour)

So if you use the formula, you’d still end up with P = 18.75*40 which is $750

Equation:

Answer:

[tex]y=\dfrac12x+\dfrac52[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

M = (-1, 7)

N = (3, -1)

[tex]\sf slope\:of\:MN=\dfrac{y_n-y_m}{x_n-x_m}= \dfrac{-1-7}{3-(-1)}=-2[/tex]

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, the product of their slopes will be -1.  Therefore, the slope (m) of the line perpendicular to MN is:

[tex]\sf \implies -2 \times m=-1[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies m=\dfrac12[/tex]

If the line bisects the line MN, it will intersect it at the midpoint of MN:

Finally, use the point-slope form of the linear equation with the found slope and the midpoint of MN:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y-3=\dfrac12(x-1)[/tex]
