3) A sample of 42 grams of an unknown substance has a half-life of 1,300 years.

(a) Write an equation to determine the amount of substance, S, left after t years.

(b) Approximately how long will it take for 0.2 grams of substance to remain (to the nearest year)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) [tex]S(t) = 42(0.9995)^t[/tex]

b) It will take 10,692 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function to determine the amount of substance:

An exponential function to determine the amout of substance after t years is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

(a) Write an equation to determine the amount of substance, S, left after t years.

Half-life of 1300 years means that [tex]A(1300) = 0.5A(0)[/tex].

We use this to find r. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{1300}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{1300} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[1300]{(1-r)^{1300}} = \sqrt[1300]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9995[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.0005[/tex]

Sample of 42 grams means that [tex]A(0) = 42[/tex]. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]

Replacing A by S, just for notation purposes

[tex]S(t) = 42(0.9995)^t[/tex]

(b) Approximately how long will it take for 0.2 grams of substance to remain (to the nearest year)?

This is t when [tex]S(t) = 0.2[/tex]. So

[tex]S(t) = 42(0.9995)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.2 = 42(0.9995)^t[/tex]

[tex](0.9995)^t = \frac{0.2}{42}[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.9995)^t} = \log{\frac{0.2}{42}}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{0.9995} = \log{\frac{0.2}{42}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{\frac{0.2}{42}}}{\log{0.9995}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 10692[/tex]

It will take 10,692 years.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,3) a
and
(-9,6).

Answers

Answer:   Slope = -3/7

===================================================

Apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (6-3)/(-9-(-2))

m = (6-3)/(-9+2)

m = 3/(-7)

m = -3/7

This means each time you go down 3 units, you go to the right 7 units.

Slope = rise/run = -3/7

rise = -3 and run = 7

find the value of 2xy+3yz-xyz, when x=2, y=-2, z=4​

Answers

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

2xy + 3yz - xyz

x = 2, y = -2, z = 4

First, plug these values into the equation.

2(2)(-2) + 3(-2)(4) - (2)(-2)(4) = ?

Next, multiply the parentheses.

(-8) + (-24) - (-16) = ?

When you add a negative, you are actually subtracting the number. And when you subtract a negative, you are actually adding the number. Apply this to the equation.

-8 - 24 + 16 = ?

Now, simplify from left to right.

-32 + 16

-16

Your answer is -16.

A college statistics class conducted a survey of how students spend their money. They asked 25 students to estimate how much money they typically spend each week on fast food. They determined that the mean amount spent on fast food each week is $31.52 and the median is $32. Later they realized that a value entered as $2 should have been $20. They recalculate the mean and the median. Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices

a. The mean and median will increase.
b. The mean will increase, but the median will remain the same.
c. The mean will stay the same, but the median will increase.
d. Both the mean and median will remain the same.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, The mean will increase, but the median will remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mean value is  [tex]31.52[/tex] dollars

Median Value is [tex]32[/tex] dollar.

Mean is the average of all the units in a given set of data. Change in any of the number will change the mean.

Here the mean is 31.25

Total money would be [tex]31.25 * 25 = 781.25\\[/tex]

A number is changed from 2 to 20 , i.e addition of 18 dollars

the new mean would be 781.25 + 18/25 = 31.97

However, the median value is the value of the unit at the center of the arrangement. Hence, it will not change.

Option B is correct

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to -3x + 5y = -1 that contains the point (0, -5)

Answers

Answer:

y = -5/3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

convert -3x + 5y = -1 to slope-intercept form:

5y = 3x - 1

y = 3/5x - 1/5

slope of a line perpendicular to the above equation would be -5/3

y = mx + b

-5 = -5/3(0) + b

b = -5

y = -5/3x - 5

Scientists are conducting an experiment with a gas in a sealed container. The mass of the gas is measured, and the scientists realize that the gas is leaking over time in a linear way. Its mass is leaking by 9.7 grams per minute. Eight minutes since the experiment started, the remaining gas had a mass of 339.5 grams. Let x be the number of minutes that have passed since the experiment started, and let y be the mass of the gas in grams at that moment. Use a linear equation to model the weight of the gas over time.
a. This line's slope-intercept equation is ___________
b. 31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be ____________ grams of gas left.
c. If a linear model continues to be accurate,______________ minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.

Answers

Answer: a. This line's slope-intercept equation: y=-9.7x+417.1

b. 31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be 116.4 grams of gas left.

c. If a linear model continues to be accurate,43 minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation: y=mx+c  (slope-intercept equation)

, where m= rate of change in y with respect to change in x , c= Initial value.

Let y=   Mass of remaining gas after x minutes.

m= -9.7 (given)

At x= 8, y=339.5

Thus,

[tex]339.5=(-9.7)(8)+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ 339.5=-77.6+c\\\\\Rightarrow\ c= 339.5+77.6=417.1[/tex]

a. This line's slope-intercept equation: y=-9.7x+417.1

b. At x= 31 minutes

y=-9.7(31)+417.1

⇒ y=-300.7+417.1

⇒ y=116.4

31 minutes after the experiment started, there would be 116.4 grams of gas left.

c. Put y=0, we get

[tex]0=-9.7x+417.1\\\\ x=\dfrac{417.1}{9.7}\\\\ x=43[/tex]

If a linear model continues to be accurate,43 minutes since the experiment started, all gas in the container will be gone.
