A certain radioactive isotope is a​ by-product of some nuclear reactors. Due to an​ explosion, a nuclear reactor experiences a massive leak of this radioactive isotope.​ Fortunately, the isotope has a very short​ half-life of 13 days. Estimate the percentage of the original amount of the isotope released by the explosion that remains 6 days after the explosion.

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{N}{N_o} = 0.726 = 72.6\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The following formula can be utilized for this question:

[tex]N = N_o (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}} } \\\\\frac{N}{N_o} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}} } \\\\[/tex]

where,

[tex]\frac{N}{N_o}[/tex] = ratio of the remaining amount to the original amount = ?

t = tme passed = 6 days

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = half-life = 13 days

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{N}{N_o} = (\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{6\ days}{13\ days} }\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{N}{N_o} = 0.726 = 72.6\%[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x - 7

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 )

Here m = 5, then

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7

Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and the time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the following probabilities.

a. between 5 and 10 min
b. less than 5 min
c. more than 10 min

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.7683 = 76.83% probability that a randomly selected emergency call is between 5 and 10 minutes.

b) 0.0606 = 6.06% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of less than 5 min.

c) 0.1711 = 17.11% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of more than 10 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 8.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 8.1, \sigma = 2[/tex]

a. between 5 and 10 min

This is the p-value of Z when X = 10 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 5.

X = 10

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

[tex]Z = \frac{10 - 8.1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.95[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.95[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8289

X = 5

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

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - 8.1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.55[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.55[/tex] has a p-value of  0.0606

0.8289 - 0.0606 = 0.7683

0.7683 = 76.83% probability that a randomly selected emergency call is between 5 and 10 minutes.

b. less than 5 min

p-value of Z when X = 5, which, found from item a, is of 0.0606

0.0606 = 6.06% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of less than 5 min.

c. more than 10 min

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 10, which, from item a, is of 0.8289

1 - 0.8289 = 0.1711

0.1711 = 17.11% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of more than 10 min.

Use the Law of Sines to write an expression that represents the angle measure x.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of sines says that the length of sides are proportional to the sine of the opposing angle.

Using the sine rule,

sin(x)/2.5 = sin(28)/3

therefore

sin(x) = 2.5 * sin(28) / 3

or

here we have

x = asin (2.5*sin(28) / 3)

so

box 1 = 2.5

box 2 = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

Counting grid squares on the graph, we see that segment AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 2 and 3. Its length is ...

  AB = √(2²+3²) = √13

We can also see that the adjacent longer sides are twice this length, each being the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 6 wide and 4 high.

  AC = √(6² +4²) = √52 = 2√13

Then the area is ...

  A = LW

  A = (2√13)(√13) = 2·13 = 26 . . . square units

3. Explain how both methods provide the same measurement of volume for the shipping box.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  36 9/16 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Volume formula

  V = LWH

  V = (3 3/4 ft)(3 ft)(3 1/4 ft) = (15/4)(3)(13/4) ft³ = 585/16 ft³

  V = 36 9/16 ft³ . . . the volume of the shipping box

__

Packing cubes

Each cube measures 1/4 ft on a side. In terms of cubes, the dimensions of the box are ...

  3 3/4 ft = 15/4 ft = 15×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   15 cubes

  3 ft = 12/4 ft = 12×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   12 cubes

  3 1/4 ft = 13/4 ft = 13×(1/4 ft)   ⇒   13 cubes

This means 15 cubes can be lined up along the bottom front of the box. 12 such lines can make one layer of cubes covering the bottom of the box, and 13 such layers will fill the box.

The total number of cubes in the box is ...

  15 × 12× 13 = 2340 . . . . fish food cubes

Each cube has a volume of (1/4 ft)³ = 1/64 ft³, so the volume of the shipping box is ...

  (2340 cubes)×(1/64 ft³/cube) = 2340/64 ft³

  = 36 9/16 ft³ . . . shipping box volume

__

2.

Using the volume formula, the volume is 36 9/16 ft³

Using the packing cubes method, the volume is 36 9/16 ft³

__

3.

If you consider the math used in the packing cubes method, you see it looks like ...

  V = (15)(12)(13) × (1/64 ft³)

  = (15)(12)(13)×(1/4 ft)³ = (15×1/4 ft)(12×1/4 ft)(13×1/4 ft)

  = (3 3/4 ft)(3 ft)(3 1/4 ft)

  = LWH

That is, the "packing cubes method" is simply a rearrangement of the volume formula product using the commutative and associative properties of multiplication. The same numbers are used to compute the product, but in a different order. Hence the result must be the same.

Flying against the wind a jet travels 1590 miles in 3 hours flying with the wind the same jet travels 8240 miles in 8 hours. What is the rate of the j et in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the following can be deduced:

Let rate of jet in still air be J

Let rate of wind be W

The formula for distance:

d = rt

Therefore, r = d/t

When, flying against the wind, then the Jet flies at a rate of J - W which will be:

= 1590mi/3hrs

= 530mph

When flying with the wind the jet will fly at a rate of J+W which will be:

= 8240mi/8hrs

= 1030 mph

Their average rate will be:

J = (530+1030)/2

= 1560/2

J = 780 mph

Since J - W = 530

Therefore, so

780 - W = 530

W = 780 - 530

W = 250 mph

The Jet in still air flies at a rate of 780 mph and the wind speed is 250 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply them out....

2B=2*(4i-j) = 8i-2j

5C=5*(2i+3j) = 10i+15j

2B+5C= 8i-2j+10i+15j =18i+13j = A

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a)  2B +5C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is probably easiest to simply try the answer choices. You find the first one works, which means it is the one you want.

  2B +5C = 2(4i -j) +5(2i +3j) . . . . choice (a)

  = 8i -2j +10i +15j

  = 18i +13j = A

__

In general, you can solve for the coefficients p and q that make ...

  pB +qC = A

  p(4i -j) +q(2i +3j) = 18i +13j

  (4p+2q)i +(-p +3q)j = 18i +13j

Equating the coefficients of i and j gives us 2 equations in p and q.

  4p +2q = 18

  -p +3q = 13

Adding 2 times the second equation to 1/2 the first, we get ...

  1/2(4p +2q) +2(-p +3q) = 1/2(18) +2(13)

 7q = 35

 q = 5

Using the second equation to find p, we get ...

  p = 3q -13 = 3(5) -13 = 2

These coefficients tell us ...

  A = 2B +5C . . . . . . . matches choice (a)
