Researchers are monitoring two different radioactive substances. They have 300 grams of substance A which decays at a rate of 0.15%. They
have 500 grams of substance B which decays at a rate of 0.37%. They are trying to determine how many years it will be before the substances
have an equal mass.
If Mrepresents the mass of the substance and trepresents the elapsed time in years, then which of the following systems of equations can be
used to determine how long it will be before the substances have an equal mass?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

231.59 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To model this situation we are going to use the exponential decay function:

f(t)= a (1-b)^t

where f(t) is the final amount remaining after t years of decay

a is the final amount

b is the decay rate in decimal form

t is the time in years

For Substance A:

Since  we have 300 grams of the substance, a=300. To convert the decay rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%:

r = 0.15/100 = 0.0015. Replacing the values in our function:

f(t) = a (1-b)^t

f(t) = 300 (1-0.0015)^t

f(t) = 300 (0.9985)^t equation (1)

For Substance B:

Since we have 500 grams of the substance, a= 500. To convert the decay rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%:

r=0.37/100= 0.0037. Replacing the values in our function:

f(t) = a (1-b)^t

f(t)= 500 (1-0.0037)^t

f(t)=500(0.9963)^t equation (2)

Since they are trying to determine how many years it will be before the substances have an equal mass M, we can replace f(t) with M in both equations:

M=300(0.9985)^t equation (1)

M=500(0.9963)^t equation (2)

We can conclude that the system of equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the substances have an equal mass, M, is :

{M=300(0.9985)^t

{M=500(0.9963)^t

Answers

Answer:8x5=10-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate f(x) = 2|x – 5| for f(–5) and f(0).

f(–5) = –20, f(0) = –2

f(–5) = 10, f(0) = 0

f(–5) = 20, f(0) = 10

f(–5) = 12, f(0) = 5

Answers

Answer:

f(–5) = 20, f(0) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-5):

f(-5) = 2|-5 -5|

f(-5) = 2|-10|

f(-5) = 2(10)

f(-5) = 20

f(0):

f(0) = 2|0 - 5|

f(0) = 2|-5|

f(0) = 2(5)

f(0) = 10

Simon bought a 10-pound bag of cat food. He gives his cat 0.3 pound of food per day. Which equation with two variables to describe how the amount of cat food in the bag changes over time.

Answers

Answer:

y = 10 - 0.3t

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cat food purchased= 10 pounds

Daily pounds fed to dog = 0.3 pounds

How the amount of cat food in bag changes over time ;

Let y = amount of cat food left in bag

t = number of days since cat food was purchased

Amount of cat food left in bag = amount of cat food purchased - (daily pounds fed to dog * Number of days since cat food was purchased)

y = 10 - 0.3t

I think the answe is d please be aware I might be wrong

Two parallel lines have same slopes so we need to find the slope of the line which passes through the given points.

Suppose : A = ( - 2 , 7 ) & B = ( 4 , 4 )

Slope = y ( B ) - y ( A ) / x ( B ) - x ( A )

Slope = 4 - 7 / 4 - ( - 2 )

Slope = - 3 / 4 + 2

Slope = - 3 / 6

Slope = - 1 / 2

------------------------------------------------------------

As you know The coefficient of x is the slope of the line in slope-intercept form.

Thus we have to find the option which x has - 1 / 2 as the coefficient .

Look we have that in D so the correct answer is D .

Find a formula for a_n (for the geometric sequence), then find the 8th term. Solve for both or one of these questions, thank you so much!

Answers

Answer:

2a. aₙ = 12 * -2ⁿ⁻¹; a₈ = -1536

2b. aₙ = 4 * 3ⁿ⁻¹; a₈ = 8748

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric sequence formula is aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹.

2a:

a₈ = 12 * -2⁸⁻¹ {Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7}

a₈ = 12 * -2⁷ {2⁷ is 128. Since the exponent is odd, this will be negative.}

a₈ = 12 * (-128) {Multiply 12 by -128 to get -1536.

a₈ = -1536

2b:

a₈ = 4 * 3⁸⁻¹ {Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7)

a₈ = 4 * 3⁷ {7 is the 3rd number after 4 (a multiple of 4). As a result, this will end in a 7. 3⁷ is 2187.}

a₈ = 4 * 2187 {Multiply 4 by 2187 to get 8748}

a₈ = 8748

1/4 (2/8) were picture books, or 16

5/8 were non fiction or picture books, so ’the rest‘ of the chapter books is 3/8.

3/8 were chapter books, or 24.

add the amount of picture books and chapter books since they are the fictional texts.

16+24=40

subtract the amount of non fictional books from the amount of fictional books to get the sum.

A 9-foot (ft) ladder and a 4-foot ladder are leaning against a house. The two ladders create angles of the
same measure with the ground. The 4-foot ladder has a height of 3.8 feet against the house.
Help please!!

Answers

Answer:

The 9-foot ladder would have a height of 8.55 ft against the house

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles made by the 9-foot ladder and 4-foot ladder that are leaning against the house is 71.8 degrees.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

What is a right angle triangle?

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angle can be found using trigonpometric ratios.

Therefore, the 9 foot and the 4 foot ladder forms the same angle.

The 4 foot ladder forms a 3.8 ft height against the wall.

Hence,

sin ∅ = opposite/ hypotenuse

sin ∅ = 3.8 / 4

∅= sin⁻¹ 0.95

∅ = 71.8051276612

∅ = 71.8°

Therefore, the angles made by the 9-foot ladder and 4-foot ladder that are leaning against the house is 71.8 degrees.
