The half-life of a certain radioactive material is 37 days. An initial amount of the material has
a mass of 477 kg. Write an exponential function that models the decay of this material. Find
how much radioactive material remains after 6 days. Round your answer to the nearest
thousandth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer is option B that ends with 426.288 kg.

Answer 2

The exponential function that models the decay of this material is [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] and the quantity of substance remains is 426.28 grams

What is Half life?

Half-life, in radioactivity, the interval of time required for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay.

What is Radioactive material?

Radionuclides (or radioactive materials) are a class of chemicals where the nucleus of the atom is unstable

Given,

Half life of a certain radioactive material = 37 days

Initial amount of the material = 477 grams

Quantity of substance remains N(t) = [tex]N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{half-life} )}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the equation N(t) =[tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex]

[tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] is the exponential function that models the decay of this material.

Quantity of substance remains after 6 days = [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{6}{37} )}[/tex] = 426.28 grams

Hence, the exponential function that models the decay of this material is [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] and Quantity of substance remains is 426.28 grams

Describe the pattern of the number sequence 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, .... by using algebraic expressions

Answers

Answer:

8n + 1, where n is a whole number greater than or equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number on this list is one more than a multiple of 8, so if n is a whole number great than or equal to 0, the expression 8n describes every multiple of 8, and 8n + 1 describes every number one more than a multiple of 8.

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

The pattern is 1 + (n - 1)8.

What is an arithmetic sequence?

It is a sequence where the difference between each consecutive term is the same.

Example:

2, 4, 6, 8 is an arithmetic sequence.

We have,

1, 9, 17, 25, 33,....

This is an arithmetic sequence.

The first term is 1.

a = 1

The common difference is 8.

d = 8

i.e

9 - 1 = 8

17 - 9 = 8

25 - 17 = 8

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence.

= a + (n -1)d

= 1 + (n - 1)8

Thus,

The pattern of the sequence is 1 + (n - 1)8.

Where n is the term of the number.

Without the calculator let's just estimate that .5/42 = 1.2% change in the angle; we reduce the length a=37 by 1.2% to get 37×.988=36.556.  That's probably good enough to choose A.

Let's do it the way they want.

[tex]\dfrac{\sin C}{c} = \dfrac{\sin A}{a}[/tex]

[tex]c = \dfrac{a \sin C}{\sin A} = \dfrac{37 \sin 41.5}{\sin 42} = 36.6400[/tex]

Estimate worked.  Sine is approximately linear when the range is small enough.

Rosalia went on a long bike ride. The table shows how long she biked and the distance she traveled. Determine whether the relationship between hours biked and miles traveled is proportional.

Answers

Answer:

There needs to be a graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is not the same for all the cases so, the relationship between hours biked, and the miles traveled is not proportional.

What is proportionality?

We use constant of proportionality in mathematics to calculate the rate of change and at the same time determine if it is direct variation or inverse variation that we are dealing with.

From the table, we need to find the rate of change between two given hours and the miles traveled at that time.

Now,

Between 1 hour and 2 hours.

The rate of change.

= (26 - 12) / (2 -1)

= 14 / 1

= 14

Between 2 hours and 3 hours.

The rate of change.

= (30 - 26) / (3 - 2)

= 4 / 1

= 4

Between 3 hours and 4 hours.

The rate of change.

= (48 - 30) / (4 - 3)

= 18 / 1

= 18

Since,

The rate of change is not the same for all the cases so,

Hence, the relationship between hours biked, and the miles traveled is not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 9 = 7x + 5

subtract 7x from both sides

x - 9 = 5

add 9 to both sides

x = 14

8x + 9 = 3x + 29

subtract 3x from both sides

5x + 9 = 29

subtract 9 from both sides

5x = 20

divide both sides by 5

x = 4

Answer:

(C)The relationship is multiplicative  because the number of gallons can be

found by multiplying the number of  minutes by 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table below which shows the relationship between the number of minutes that a hose  has been on and the number of gallons of water that have been added to a  plastic pool.

[tex]\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Minutes Hose On&$Gallons of Water in Pool\\-------&-------\\0&0\\5&40\\10&80\\15&120\\20&160\end{array}\right|[/tex]

We can see that if we multiply the first column by 8, we will obtain the second column. Therefore the relationship is multiplicative because the number of gallons can be  found by multiplying the number of  minutes by 8.

The correct option is C.

A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 2% per 100 years. If t represents the amount of the isotope left then the equation for the situation is

Answers

Answer:

y=y0e^-0.0002t

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain isotope decays at a rate of 2%per 100 years. If t represent the time in years and y represent the amount of the isotope left then the equation for the situation is y=y0e^-0.0002t . In how many years will there be 86% of the isotope left?
.
Let x = initial amount
then our formula is
.86x = xe^(-0.0002t)
.
Notice, if we divide both sides by x, we eliminate our unknown:
.86 = e^(-0.0002t)
Solving for x, we take the ln of both sides:
ln(.86) = -0.0002t
ln(.86)/(-0.0002) = t
754.114 years = t
