The radioactive substance polonium-210, with a half-life of 138.39 days, is present in tobacco. Suppose that the soot in an ex-smoker's lungs contains 100 milligrams of polonium-210. How much radioactive polonium will remain after one year of not smoking

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

16.07 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Using the formula of radioactive decay,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original mass of the polonium-210, R' = Final mass of polonium-210 after decaying, a = Total disintegration time, b = half life of polonium-210.

Make R' the subject of the equation

R' = R/(2ᵃ/ᵇ)................ Equation 2

Given: R = 100 milligrams, a = 1 years = 365 days, b = 138.39 days

Substitute these values into equation 2

R' = 100/(2³⁶⁵⁰⁰/¹³⁸³⁹)

R' = 100/(6.222)

R' = 16.07 milligrams of plonium-210

I think this is it

Answer:

x = 2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 1)² = 9

First, take the square root of both sides. This will eliminate the square on the left side.

(x + 1) = √9

Note that √9 can be 3 or -3.

Let's write out both possibilities.

(x + 1) = 3

(x + 1) = -3

Solve.

(x + 1) = 3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = 2

--

(x + 1) = -3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = -4

Your answers are 2 and -4.

Let's check our answers by plugging in the values back into the original equation.

(x + 1)² = 9

(2 + 1)² = 9

(3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is correct.

(x + 1)² = 9

(-4 + 1)² = 9

(-3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is also correct.

Your answer is correct.

In circle J with m \angle HJK= 50m∠HJK=50 and HJ=16HJ=16 units, find the length of arc HK. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

13.96

Step-by-step explanation:

length of an arc = theta/360 * 2πr

Given

m<HJK = 50

HJ = 16units

Required

length of arc HK

arc HK = 50/360 * 2(3.14)(16)

arc HK = 5/36 * 100.48

arc HK = 502.4/36

arcHK = 13.96

hence the length of arcHK to nearest hundredth is 13.96

h = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a rectangular prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of the base and h the height )

Here V = 36 and A = 6 × 2 = 12 cm² , then

12h = 36 ( divide both sides by 12 )

h = 3

Answer: 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to solve the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l x w x h

Where V is volume, l is length, w is width, and h is height

Givens are, Volume = 36 cm3

length = 6 cm

width = 2 cm

Now, we will plug in the numbers to the formula

36 cm3 = 6cm x 2cm x h

36 cm3 = 12 cm2 x h

divide 12cm2 on both sides

36cm3/12cm3 = h

h = 3cm

To solve the equation 34x=15, Abby multiplied both sides by ¾ and got a solution of x=1114. Explain the error that Abby made and then find the correct value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4x = 15

Abby's calculation:

3/4x = 15

Multiply both sides by 3/4

x = 1114

Abby's error was multiplying both sides by 3/4 instead of dividing both sides by 3/4 to get the value of x

Correct calculation:

3/4x = 15

Divide both sides by 3/4

3/4x ÷ 3/4 = 15 ÷ 3/4

x = 15 × 4/3

x = 60/3

x = 20

Check:

3/4x = 15

3/4*20

= (3*20) / 4

= 60/4

= 15

3/4*20 = 15

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given points

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{-1-3}{0+3}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 1 ) ⇒ c = - 1

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x - 1 ← equation of line

Answers

Answer:

Interquartile age

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plots that is being referred to are missing, however, we can still answer this without the box plots.

The appropriate measure of variability that can be easily determined by a box plot is the interquartile range. Which is the difference between the 3rd quartile and the 1st quartile.

On a box plot, the first quartile is the data value ta the beginning of the edge of the rectangular box while the third quartile is at the end of the edge of the rectangle box. So, this makes is easy for use interquartile range as a measure of variability when comparing both.

Answer:

Interquartile range (IQR)

explanation:

Mean and median are both measures of center so it can't be those two, and the standard deviation is a measure of variability but only when the graph, box plot or any other type of graph is symmetric
