Element X decays radioactively with a half-life of 14 minutes if there are 680 grams of element X how long to the nearest 10th of a minute would it take the element to decay 17 grams

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It would take 74.5 minutes for the element to decay 17 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of element X after t minutes is given by the follwoing equation:

[tex]X(t) = X(0)e^{rt}[/tex]

In which X(0) is the initial amount of the substance and r is the decay rate.

Half life of 14 minutes.

This means that [tex]X(14) = 0.5X(0)[/tex]

So

[tex]X(t) = X(0)e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]0.5X(0) = X(0)e^{14r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{14r} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{14r}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]14r = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{14}[/tex]

[tex]r = -0.0495[/tex]

So

[tex]X(t) = X(0)e^{-0.0495t}[/tex]

There are 680 grams of element X

This means that [tex]X(0) = 680[/tex]

[tex]X(t) = X(0)e^{-0.0495t}[/tex]

[tex]X(t) = 680e^{-0.0495t}[/tex]

How long would it take the element to decay 17 grams

This is t for which X(t) = 17. So

[tex]X(t) = 680e^{-0.0495t}[/tex]

[tex]17 = 680e^{-0.0495t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.0495t} = \frac{17}{680}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.0495t} = 0.025[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.0495t}} = \ln{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]-0.0495t = \ln{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]0.0495t = -\ln{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.025}}{0.0495}[/tex]

[tex]t = 74.5[/tex]

It would take 74.5 minutes for the element to decay 17 grams.

You roll a six-sided number cube (die). What is the BEST answer for the probability that the number rolled is between 1 and 6, inclusive?
A) certain
B) unlikely
C) impossible
D) very likely

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all the numbers on a six-sided cube is between 1 and 6 so it is certain or 100/100 that the number will land on a number between 1 and 6.

Suppose the round-trip airfare between Philadelphia and Los Angeles a month before the departure date follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of $387.20 and a standard deviation of $68.50. What is the probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425?

Answers

Answer:

52.74% probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 387.20, \sigma = 68.50[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 425 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 325. So

X = 425

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{425 - 387.20}{68.50}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.55[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.55[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7088

X = 325

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{325 - 387.20}{68.50}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1814

0.7088 - 0.1814 = 0.5274

52.74% probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425

The owner of a bicycle store had a sale on bicycles (two-wheelers) and tricycles (three-wheelers). Each cycle had two pedals. When he counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. When he counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. Explain how you figured out how many tricycles were offered in the sale.

Answers

Let x represent number of bicycles and y represent number of tricycles.

We know that a bicycle has 2 pedals and a tricycle has 32 pedals as well.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of pedals of the cycles, he got 50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+2y=50...(1)[/tex]

[tex]2x=50-2y...(1)[/tex]

We know that a bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels.

We have been given that when the owner counted the total number of wheels of the cycles, he got 64. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+3y=64...(2)[/tex]

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

[tex]50-2y+3y=64[/tex]

[tex]50+y=64[/tex]

[tex]50-50+y=64-50[/tex]

[tex]y=14[/tex]

Therefore, 14 tricycles were offered in the sale.

Figure A is translated 3 units right and 2 units up. The translated figure is labeled figure B. Figure B is reflected over the x-axis. The reflected figure is labeled figure C. Which best explains why figure A is congruent to figure C? On a coordinate plane, triangle A has points (1, negative 2), (3, negative 2), (3, negative 5). Triangle B has points (4, 0), (6, 0), (6, negative 3). Triangle C has points (4, 0), (6, 0), (6, 3). A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C A Is congruent to A, B Is congruent to B, C Is congruent to C Each triangle is a right triangle. Each triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Answers

Answer:

A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the answer choices:

A: "A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C"

Well, clearly, if A ≅ B and B ≅ C, then by the transitive property, we can say that A ≅ C. So, A is very likely correct.

B: "A Is congruent to A, B Is congruent to B, C Is congruent to C"

Just because A is congruent to itself (and same with B and C) doesn't necessarily mean that they're congruent to each other. So, B is wrong.

C: "Each triangle is a right triangle."

Again, there are so many right triangles out there with different dimensions. For example, there are some with sides 3, 4, and 5, and others with sides 5, 12, and 13. They are not congruent, however. So, rule out C.

D: "Each triangle is an isosceles triangle."

This is just like choice C since there are so many variations of isosceles triangles. So D is wrong.

The answer is thus A.

Answer:

First one:

A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is obtained by translating A, it has the same measure angles and sides as A, hence B is congruent to A

C is obtained by reflecting B, which doesn't alter the measure of sides and angles, so C is congruent to B

Therefore by transition, C is congruent to A

What is the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function?

In a quadratic function, the vertex of the graph refers to the highest or lowest possible outcome of the function. In a graph, the vertex is the highest or lowest point on the parabola,

Given that:

f(x) = x² + 8x - 2

where;

a = 1b = 8c = - 2

By using the vertex formula to find the x-value;

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-8}{2(1)}}[/tex]

x = -4

So,

y = (-4)² + 8(-4) - 2

y = 16 -32 -2

y = -18

Therefore, the vertex of the graph of function f(x) =  x² + 8x - 2 is (-4, -18)

A celebrity called Wayne East has been having some money problems recently. He is thinking of investing in the greatest record in the world, and wants to know how the value will change over time. He has an exponential regression model where his predictor is time in months, and response variable is money, measured in thousands of dollars. The alpha value is 4.2, and beta is 1.03. Based on this model, how much money (in thousands) will he have after six months

Answers

Answer:

Wayne west would have $5,015 in six months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential regression model is y = αβˣ

Where y is amount of money in 1000 dollars

           x is time in months

We are given that α = 4.2 and  β = 1.03 and x = 6 months

Therefore, based on this model, y = αβˣ, the amount he would have in 6 months, y = [tex]4.2*(1.03) ^{6}[/tex]

y = 5.015 × 1000 = $ 5,015

A European swallow flies about 12 meters in 1 second.
How many kilometers could it fly in 15 minutes?
It could fly |​

Answers

Answer:

It could fly 10,8 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The European swallow fly speed is 12 meters per second.

We have to calculate how many kilometers it could fly in 15 minutes.

This can be calculated using the equivalent factors for each of the units:

- 1 km is equivalent to 1,000 meters.

- 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.

We know that the distance travelled by the fly is the product of the speed and the time, so we have:

[tex]D=v\cdot t\\\\\\D=12\,\dfrac{m}{s}\cdot15\, min\\\\\\D=12\,\dfrac{m}{s}\cdot(\dfrac{1\,km}{1,000\,m})\cdot15\, min\cdot (\dfrac{60\,s}{1\,min})\\\\\\D=\dfrac{12\cdot 15\cdot 60}{1,000}\,km=\dfrac{10,800}{1,000}\,km\\\\\\D=10,8 \,km[/tex]

lan ran 24 laps in a charity run and then walked 0.2 kilometer to the presentation table the total; distance lan traveled was 29.6 kilometer what was the distance of each lap explain how you solve the problem

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.225km is equal to each laps

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kristy total distance traveled = 29.6km

And Kristy ran 24 laps and later walk 0.2km. it simply implies that

Total distance traveled = distance covered running + distance covered walking

Since we know that

Total distance traveled = 29.6km

distance covered running = 24 laps

distance covered walking = 0.2km

Distance covered running in km = total distance traveled - distance covered walking

Distance covered running in km = 29.6km - 0.2km = 29.4km.

To now find the distance for each lap.

Since we have:

Distance covered running in km = 29.4km.

Distance covered running in lap = 24 laps

i.e

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = x

Use cross-multiple

24 laps * x = 29.4km × 1 lap

x = 29.4km / 24

x = 1.225km

Therefore

1.225km is equal to each laps.

Now using Pythagorean Theorem to find hypotenuse

hyp² = base² + Perp²

hyp² = 8² + 6²

hyp²= 64 + 36

hyp²=100

Taking sq root on both sides

hypotenuse = 10

Now

sin θ = Perpendicular / Hyp

sin x = 6 / 10

Now

cos θ = base / Hyp
