A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)e^kt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a negative constant. The mean life M of an atom in the substance is
[infinity]
M = âk â« te^kt dt.
0

For the radioactive carbon isotope, 14C, used in radiocarbon dating, the value of k is -0.000121. Find the mean life of a 14C atom.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

mean life = 8264.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

k = - 0.000121

The relation is given by

[tex]m = mo e^{kt}[/tex]

Now, the mean life is the life time for which the sample retains.

The mean life is the reciprocal of the decay constant.  

The relation between the mean life and the decay constant is

[tex]\tau =\frac{1}{k}\\\\\tau = \frac{1}{0.000121} = 8264.5 seconds[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

find x on this special right triangle, 45 is not an option!!!!

Answers

let the line between 2 tria be y

sin 60/8√2 = sin 90/y

y=13.06

sin 45/13.06 = sin 90/x

x=18.46

Answer:

First, find the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the 60° & 30°.

Hypotenuse = hsin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(60) = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{h} \\\\sin(60)h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\h=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}=8\sqrt{2}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}) }{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3})} =\frac{16\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

Use that side length to find x.

sin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(45)=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{x}\\\\sin(45)x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\x=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}(2)}{3\sqrt{2} }=\frac{32\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]

what are the answers to the questions below?

Answers

Answer:

You have to follow PEMDAS or parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. It's an order to solve equations. I listed the steps and the answers for you below :) I have throughly checked them so they should be correct! yw :D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5x + 4x - 6x = 24

9x - 6x = 24

3x = 24

24/3 = 8

x = 8

2. 8y + 5 - 4y + 1 = 46

8y - 4y = 4y

5 + 1 = 6

4y + 6 = 46

4y = 46 - 6

4y = 40

40/4 = 10

y = 10

3. 33 = 5 ( x + 8 ) + 3

33 =  5x + 40 + 3 (because we distributed)

33 = 5x + 43

5x + 43 = 33 (just rewriting it to make it easier)

5x = 33 - 43

5x = -10

-10/5 = -2

so x = - 2

4. 2m + 3 ( m - 8 ) = 1

2m + 3m - 24 = 1

we got 3m - 24 because we distributed the 3

5m - 24 = 1

5m = 25

25/5 = 5

m = 5

5. p + p - 2p + 4p = - 48

2p - 2p + 4p = - 48

4p = - 48

- 48 / 4 = - 12

p = - 12

6. 2 ( y + 5 ) + 3y = 25

2y + 10 + 3y = 25

5y + 10 = 25

5y = 25 - 10

5y = 15

15/5 = 3

y = 3

7. 1/4 h + 3/4 h + 1/2 h + 2 = 5

1/4 h + 3/4 h + 1/2 = 3/2 h

3/2 h + 2 = 5

3/2 h = 5 - 2

3/2 h = 3

h = 2

8. 60 = 4 ( k + 3 ) + 2 ( k - 3 )

60 = 4k + 12 + 2k - 6

4k + 12 + 2k - 6 = 60

6k + 6 = 60

6k = 60 - 6

6k = 54

k = 9

9. - 2 ( d + 1.4 ) - 1.8 = 20.6

-2d + - 2.8 - 1.8 = 20.6

-2d - 2.8 = 22.4

-2d = 25.2

d = - 12.6

10. 8 - 2 ( w + 4 ) = 10

8 + - 2 w + - 8 = 10

-2w + 9 + - 8 = 10

-2w = 10

10 / -2 = -5

w = -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change is found from ...

  % change = (change)/(original amount) × 100%

  = (new value - original amount)/(original amount) × 100%

  = (13 -21)/21 × 100% = -8/21 × 100% ≈ -38.1%

B.No, since the y-intercepts are different.
C.Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.
D.No, since the slopes are different.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

one line is

y = 3x/7 + 11

its slope is 3/7

the y-intercept is, of course, when x=0. there y=11

the other is

-3x + 7y = 13

7y = 3x + 13

y = 3x/7 + 13/7

its slope is 3/7 (the same as the other line)

the y-intercept (x=0) is y = 13/7 (different to the other line)

Answer:

C. Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{7} x+11[/tex]  and [tex]-3x+7y=13[/tex]

→ Rearrange the second equation to make y the subject

7y = 3x + 13

→ Divide everything by 7

5*-4 = -20

Using the zero product property

x+5 = 0  x-4 =0

x=-5  x=4

Answer:

Solution given:

equation is:

x²+x-20=0

doing middle term factorisation

note:we need to get 1 while subtracting factor of the product of constant and coefficient of x².

20*1=20=2*5*2*1

we get 1 while subtracting 5-2*2=5-4

now substitute value 5-4 at coefficient of x

we get

x²+(5-4)x-20=0

now

distribute

x²+5x-4x-20=0

taking common from each two term

x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0

again taking common (x+5) and keeping remaining at another bracket

(x+5)(x-4)=0

either

x+5=0

x=-5

or

x-4=0

x=4

12 workers take 4 hours to complete a job. How long would it take 15 workers to complete the job?

Answers

Answer:

3.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12 workers * 4 hours = 48 worker hours

15 workers  * x hours = 48 worker hours

48 /15 =3.2 hours

Answer:

3 hours and 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 Workers complete a job in 4 hours

1 worker complete a job 12 × 4 = 48

15 workers complete a job = 48/15 = 3³/¹⁵ = 3¹/⁵

= 3 hours + 1/5 × 60  minutes = 3 hours 12 minutes.

A sample of 4 children was drawn from a population of rural Indian children aged 12 to 60 months. The sample mean of mid-upper arm circumference was 150 mm with a standard deviation of 6.73. What is a 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample is between 139.29 mm and 160.71 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 4 - 1 = 3

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 3.1824

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.1824\frac{6.73}{\sqrt{4}} = 10.71[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 150 - 10.71 = 139.29 mm

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 150 + 10.71 = 160.71 mm

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample is between 139.29 mm and 160.71 mm.
