Complete The Table Shown To The Right For The Half Life Of A Certain Radioactive Substance. Decay Rate:1.5%

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Decay rate: 1.5% per year = -0.015

To find:

The half life.

Solution:

The continuous exponential decay function is

[tex]A(t)=Ae^{-kt}[/tex]

where, a is initial value, -k is decay rate and t is time period.

For half life, [tex]A(t)=\dfrac{A}{2}[/tex],

[tex]\dfrac{A}{2}=Ae^{-0.015t}[/tex]

Dividing both sides by A.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}=e^{-0.015t}[/tex]

Taking natural log on both sides.

[tex]\ln \dfrac{1}{2}=\ln e^{-0.015t}[/tex]

[tex]-0.69314718=-0.015t[/tex]

Divide both sides by -0.015.

[tex]\dfrac{-0.69314718}{-0.015}=t[/tex]

[tex]46.209812 =t[/tex]

[tex]t\approx 46[/tex]

Therefore, the half life is 46 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determining the length of BC

From the diagram, it is clear that

The point B is located at (-8, 10) and point C is located at (8, 10)

Since points A and C are located on a horizontal straight line. Thus, the length of BC can be determined by counting the x-axis units from reaching x = -8 to x = 8. i.e. 8-(-8) = 8+8 = 16

Thus, the length of BC = 16 units

Determining the length of CD

Given

C (8, 10) D (2, -2)

The distance between C(8, 10) and D(2, -2)

[tex]\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}[/tex]

[tex]CD=\sqrt{\left(2-8\right)^2+\left(-2-10\right)^2}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{6^2+12^2}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{36+144}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{180}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{36\times 5}[/tex]

      [tex]=6\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Thus, the length of CD [tex]=6\sqrt{5}[/tex] units

Determining the length of ED

Given

E (-8, -4) D (2, -2)

The distance between E(-8, -4) and D(2, -2)

[tex]ED=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-8\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{10^2+2^2}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{100+4}[/tex]

      [tex]=\sqrt{104}[/tex]

       [tex]=\sqrt{26\times \:4}[/tex]

        [tex]=2\sqrt{26}[/tex]

Thus, the length of ED [tex]=2\sqrt{26}[/tex] units

Determining the length of EB

From the diagram, it is clear that

The point E is located at (-8, -4) and the point B is located at (-8, 10)

Since points E and B are located on a vertical straight line. Thus, the length of EB can be determined by counting the y-axis units from reaching y = -4 to y = 10. i.e. 10-(-4) = 10+4 = 14

Thus, the length of EB = 14 units

The function g is defined by:

Answers

g(x) = x² - x - 6

so

g (-4) = (-4)² - (-4) - 6 = 16 + 4 - 6 = 14

When g(x) = 6, we have

6 = x² - x - 6

x² - x - 12 = 0

Solve for x. We factorize this easily as

(x - 4) (x + 3) = 0

which gives

x - 4 = 0   or   x + 3 = 0

x = 4   or   x = -3

Answer:

the mean is 55.6; if she redid the D and F papers the mean would increase because you would get a higher average than before. Higher scores mean that the number that you add are larger evidently ending up in a larger value

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to find mean, all you do is add the numbers together and then divide by the total number of values that you added.

so this would be 74+12+61+86+45 and that is 278. Then there is a total of 5 so you divide 278 by 5 which gives you 55.6.

-What is the value of Co

-What is the value of Cu

Answer:

- the value of the cost overage Co is  $ 0.3

- the value of the cost shortage Cu is  $ 0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Revenue per unit R                         =       $ 1.00

Cost per Unit C                               =       $ 0.60

Salvage value per unit  S                =       $ 0.30

Mean Demand μ                              =          193

Standard Deviation of demand  σ  =          41

-To get the value of our cost overage Co;

we simply say

Co = Cost per Unit C - Salvage value per unit  S  

Co = 0.6 - 0.30 = 0.30

therefore the value of the cost overage Co is  $ 0.30

- To find the value of Cost Shortage Cu;

Cu = Revenue per unit R - Cost per Unit C

Cu = 1.00 - 0.60 = 0.40

therefore the value of the cost shortage Cu is  $ 0.40

The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/6 full. After pouring in 11 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Answers

Answer:

The container can hold 22 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'g' be the number of gallons a container can hold

Given the initial amount of water = 1/6 g

Given that 11 gallons of water have been added to the container.

so the final quantity will become = 2/3 g

Thus, the equation becomes

[tex]\frac{2}{3}g-\frac{1}{6}g=11[/tex]

Multiply by LCM 6

[tex]\frac{2}{3}g\cdot \:6-\frac{1}{6}g\cdot \:6=11\cdot \:6[/tex]

[tex]4g-g=66[/tex]

[tex]3g=66[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3g}{3}=\frac{66}{3}[/tex]

[tex]g=22[/tex]

Therefore, the container can hold 22 gallons of water.

Sales personnel for Skillings Distributors submit weekly reports listing the customer contacts made during the week. A sample of 35 weekly reports showed a sample mean of 19.5 customer contacts per week. The population standard deviation was 5.2. Provide a 99% confidence interval for the population mean number of weekly customer contacts for the sales personnel.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Confidence interval (C) = 99%, mean (μ) = 19.5, standard deviation (σ) = 5.2, sample size (n) = 35

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.005

The z score of α/2 (0.005) is the same as the z score 0.495 (0.5 - 0.005) which is equal to 2.576.

The margin of error (E) is given as:

[tex]E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=2.576*\frac{5.2}{\sqrt{35} } \\\\E=2.264[/tex]

The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (19.5 ±  2.264) = (17.236, 21.764).

The confidence interval is between 17.236 and 21.764.

Marisa painted one-half of her bedroom in three-fourths of an hour. At this rate, how long would it take her to paint the entire room? three-eighths of an hour eight-thirds of an hour four-sixths of an hour six-fourths of an hour

Answer:

six-fourths of an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her entire room be equal to 1

From the above question

1/2 of her bedroom = 3/4 of an hour

1(Entire bedroom) = x hour

Cross Multiply

1/2 × x = 3/4 × 1

x = 3/4 / 1/2

x = 3/4 ÷ 1/2

x = 3/4 × 2/1

x = 6/4 hour

Hence, it would take Marissa six-fourths(6/4) of an hour to clean her entire room.

What is the solution to the following system x+y+z=6 and x-y+z=8 and x+y-z=0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x = 4, ~y = -1,~ and~z = 3}[/tex]

.

Step-by-step explanation:

(eq-1) → x + y + z = 6

(eq-2) → x - y + z = 8

(eq-3) → x + y - z = 0

.

Eliminate eq-1 and eq-3

[tex]x + y + z = 6[/tex]

x + y - z = 0    

[tex]2z = 6[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]z = 3[/tex]

.

Eliminate eq-1 and qe-2

[tex]x + y + z = 6[/tex]

x - y + z = 8    

[tex]2y = -2[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = -1[/tex]

.

Substitute the value of z and y to on of equations

[tex]x + y + z = 6[/tex]

[tex]x + (-1) + 3 = 6[/tex]

[tex]x + 2 = 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 6 - 2[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Answer:

The solution for the following system is: [tex]\mathbf{x=4, y=-1, z=3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution to the following system.

[tex]x+y+z=6 \ and \ x-y+z=8 \ and \ x+y-z=0[/tex]

Let:

[tex]x+y+z=6 --eq(1)\\ x-y+z=8 --eq(2)\\ x+y-z=0--eq(3)[/tex]

Adding eq(1) and eq(2)

[tex]x+y+z=6 \\x-y+z=8 \\-------\\2x+2z=14 --eq(4)[/tex]

Adding eq(2) and eq(3)

[tex]x-y+z=8 \\ x+y-z=0\\-------\\2x=8\\x=8/2\\x=4[/tex]

We get value of x=4

Now, putting value of x in eq(4) to find value of z

[tex]2x+2z=14\\Put x=4\\2(4)+2z=14\\8+2z=14\\2z=14-8\\2z=6\\z=6/2\\z=3[/tex]

We get value of z=3

Now, putting value of x and z in eq(1) to find value of y

[tex]x+y+z=6\\Put \ x=4, z=3\\4+y+3=6\\y+7=6\\y=6-7\\y=-1[/tex]

So, value of y=-1

The solution for the following system is: [tex]\mathbf{x=4, y=-1, z=3}[/tex]
