Plutonium-240 decays according to the function Q(t) = Qoe^-kt
where Q
represents the quantity remaining after t years and k is the decay constant,
0.00011... To the nearest 10 years, how long will it take 36 grams of
plutonium-240 to decay to 12 grams?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  9990 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function with given values filled in can be solved for the unknown using logarithms.

__

  Q(t) = 12 = 36e^(-0.00011t)

  1/3 = e^(-0.00011t) . . . . . . divide by 36

  ln(1/3) = -0.00011t . . . . . . take natural logs

  t = ln(1/3)/(-0.00011) . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

  t ≈ 9990 . . . years

Answer:

Soln:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Base(b) =9

Opposite/Perpendicular (p)= x

Hypotenus (h) = 24

We know,

(p)^2 = (h)^2 - (b)^2

(x)^2 = (24)^2 - (9)^2

x^2 = 576 - 81

x^2 = 495

x = root under 495

Answer:

1- 22.2486  2- No

Step-by-step explanation:
1:

[tex]b = \sqrt{ c^{2}- a^{2}[/tex]

C is the hypotenuse, or longest side of the triangle (24).

A is the one length we have besides the hypotenuse(9).

[tex]b = \sqrt{ 24^{2}- 9^{2}[/tex]

b = 22.2486

2:
No, because if it was a Pythagorean triple, it would follow the equation [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex].

[tex]9^{2} + 22.2485^{2} \neq 24^{2}[/tex].

Emily is 4 years Jacob's junior. Eight years ago. she was half Jacob's age. How old are they?

Answers

Answer:

Emily is now 12.

Jacob is now 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

since Emily is 4yrs younger than Jacob, let Jacob be x and Emily be (x - 4) yrs.

eight yrs ago: Emily is ( x-4-8) = ( x - 12)

Jacob is ( x - 8)

Emily was half Jacob's age: so, we have to balance the ages by either multiplying Emily's age by 2 or dividing Jacob's age by 2. ( I multiplied by 2)

2( x - 12) = x - 8

2x - 24 = x - 8............ Bring the like terms together and solve for x

x = 16, which is Jacob's current age

Emily ( x - 4) = 12 yrs

1. Solve 2(x + 1)^2 = 18. What are the x-intercepts?

Answers

Answer:

The x-intercepts are [tex](2,0)[/tex] and [tex](-4,0)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

[tex]2(x+1)^2=18[/tex]

Begin by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

[tex](x+1)^2=9[/tex]

Next, take the square root of both sides. Remember that there are two solutions to a square root, the positive and the negative root:

[tex]x+1=\pm3[/tex]

Split the equation into two based on the two solutions:

[tex]x+1=-3[/tex]

[tex]x+1=3[/tex]

Solve each equation by subtracting 1 from both sides:

[tex]x=-4\\ x=2[/tex]

Since the x-intercepts are the solutions to a quadratic, we know the solutions are (2,0) and (-4,0).

A computer loses half of its value every two year. If the computer costs $75 after 6 years, how much
did the computer cost initially?

Answers

Answer:

$600

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as an exponential equation.

General form of an exponential function: [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where:

a is the initial valueb is the growth factorx is the independent variabley is the dependent variable

Therefore:

a = initial cost of computerb = 0.5 (since the computer loses half its value)x = t/2 where t is the number of years ⇒ 3y = $75

[tex]\implies 75=a(0.5)^3[/tex]

[tex]\implies 75=0.125a[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

  cos(α-β) = cos(α)cos(β) +sin(α)sin(β)

__

To match the given expression exactly, we can choose ...

  α = π/2

  β = π/5

Then the difference is ...

  α -β = π/2 -π/5 = (5/10)π -(2/10)π = 3π/10

The given expression can be shortened to ...

  cos(3π/10)

Sometimes it can be difficult to remember when the signs in trig identities match, and when they differ. The fact that cosines of smaller angles have larger values can be a peg on which to hang that hat.

the vertex of this parabola is at (4, -3). when the x-value is 5, the y-value is -6. what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?*sorry edited now

Answers

Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k ) = (4, - 3 ) , then

y = a(x - 4)² - 3

to find a substitute x = 5, y = - 6 into the equation

- 6 = a(5 - 4)² - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3 = a(1)² = a

y = - 3(x - 4)² - 3 ← expand factor using FOIL

y = - 3(x² - 8x + 16) - 3

  = - 3x² + 24x - 48 - 3

  = - 3x² - 24x - 51 ← in standard form
