A radioactive substance decays at a rate of 3.4% per day. If it starts at 200 grams, how
many days will it take for the substance to decay to less than 150 grams?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the percent is decaying, you subtract 3.4 from 100, which gets you 96.6

200(0.966)^9 gets you 146.5 which is less than 150

2m+(m-15)=90 solve for m

Answers

Answer:

m = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + m -15 = 90

3m -15 = 90

     +15  +15

3m = 105

/3     /3

m = 35

To check the work just insert 35 for m:

2(35) + 35 -15 = 90

70 + 35 -15 = 90

105 - 15 = 90

90 = 90

Put r = 9

 =    [tex]\frac{31+9}{2} - \frac{9(9)-5}{4}[/tex]

12-15

After that, we get -3. Whenever a you multiply a whole number with a negative number, the whole becomes negative.

Please hurry; Which function increases the fastest? A. y 5 14x B. y 5 23 · 17x C. y 5 120x D. y 5 2275x^x

a y = 14^x
b y = -3 (17)^x
c y = 120x
d y = -275x

Answers

Answer: y = 14^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the options are:

a y = 14^x

b y = -3*(17)^x

c y = 120x

d y = -275x

to see which function increases the fastest (or which function is steeper) we need to look at the first derivations of each one of these, and see which one is larger for every value of x:

the derivations are:

a y = x*14^(x - 1)

b y = -x*3*(17)^(x  - 1)

c y = 120

d y = -275

So we can already discard options c and d, because have constant rate of change.

Then we keep options a and b.

Always when we have an exponential function, like a^x and b^x

The one with the larger base will be steeper.

So if a > b, then:

a^x is steeper than b^x

In this case, the function:

y = -3*(17)^x

has a larger base, but, this function is negative.

This means that as x increases, our function will decrease, then this function will not "increase the fastest" (because it does not increase)

Then the left option (a: y = 14^x)

Will be the correct one.

(this will happen after some value of x, because two of the options have constant derivatives, these may be steeper for smaller values of x, and as x increases, we will see that y = 14^x is the one that increases the fastest)

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

A tree casts a shadow 21 m long.

The angle of elevation of the sun is 51°.

Let h be the height of tree.

Then the height of the tree will be

A student who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, A and B. If topic A is chosen, the student will order two books through interlibrary loan, whereas if topic B is chosen, the student will order four books. The student believes that a good paper necessitates receiving and using at least half the books ordered for either topic chosen. If the probability that a book ordered through interlibrary loan actually arrives in time is .9 and books arrive independently of one another, which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper? What if the arrival probability is only .5 instead of .9?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{For topic A }:0.99\\\text{For Topic B}: 0.6875[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic A: Two books are ordered

Topic B: Four books are ordered

Let X= number of books arrived

The probability that a book actually arrives in time is 0.9

i.e., p=0.9

For Topic A:

[tex]P(X\geq 1)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)= \;^2C_1 (0.9)^1(0.1)^(2-1)+\;^2C_2 (0.9)^2(0.1)^(2-2)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)=0.18+0.81\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)=0.99[/tex]

For Topic B:

[tex]P(X\geq 2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[\;^4C_0(0.5)^0(0.5)^4 +\;^4C_0(0.5)^1(0.5)^3]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[0.0625+0.25]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=0.6875[/tex]
