A 38 gram sample of a substance that is used to sterilize surgical instruments has a k-value of 0.113. Find the substance's half-life in days, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.13 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This question directly relates to radioactivity of a substance.

Data,

k = 0.113

Initial mass (No) = 38g

Half life of the substance (T½) = ?

To solve this question, we don't need the value of the initial mass because the variables in half life (T½) formula does not require it.

T½ = ln2 / k

Note : ln2 is a constant derived while k is the decay constant of the substance

T½ = 0.693 / 0.113

T½ = 6.13 days

The half life of the substance is 6.13 days

Una escalera está apoyada sobre una pared a 4,33 m de altura y forma con el piso un ángulo de 60°. a) Calcula el largo de la escalera. b) Si el punto B correspondiera a (5,0) y el punto a correspondiera a (0,7). Halla la ecuación de la recta que pasa por los dos puntos, es decir la escalera.

Answers

Answer:

a) 5,00 m

b) y = - (7/5)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The stairs and the wall forms a rectangle triangle. The wall is the opposite side respect to the angle which stairs forms with ground (I attached an image below of the situation).

a) To find the length of stairs you use the following trigonometric relation:

[tex]sin\theta=\frac{h}{l_s}[/tex]            (1)

h: height in which the stairs touch the wall = 4,33 m

ls: length of the stairs

θ: angle between ground and stairs = 60°

You solve the equation (1) for ls:

[tex]l_s=\frac{h}{sin\theta}=\frac{4,33m}{sin60\°}=4,99m\approx5,00m[/tex]

b) The line equation is given by:

[tex]y-y_o=m(x-x_o)[/tex]           (2)

Firs, you calculate the slope by using the equation (2):

[tex]m=\frac{0-7}{5-0}=-\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

Next, you use one of the point, say B, an you replace this points for yo and xo:

[tex]y-0=-\frac{7}{5}(x-5)\\\\y=-\frac{7}{5}x+7[/tex]

Factorize x squared - 1x +10 =0

Answers

Answer:

no solution exists:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²−1x+10=0

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x²−x+10=0

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

x²−x+10−10=0−10

x²−x=−10

Step 3: The coefficient of -x is -1. Let b=-1.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=1/4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 1/4 to both sides.

x²−x+ 1/4=−10+ 1/4

x²−x+ 1/4=−39 /4

Step 4: Factor left side.

(x  -1/2)² = −39 /4

Step 5: Take square root.

x  −1 /2 =±√ −39 /4

Step 6: Add 1/2 to both sides.

x  =−1/2  + 1/2 = 1/2 ±√ -39/4

x = 1/2 ±√ -39/4

No real solutions.

You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be before you and your sister have thr same amount of money? What amount would you have the same ?

Answers

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is  270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

Answer:

15 weeks

$270

Steps:

1: 60+14x=120+10x

2: 4x=60

3: x=15 weeks

4: Amount= 60+14*15= $270

Description:

The first step is to get the money u have that is $60 plus it with the saving u have that is $14 answer will equal as 120+10x  as a equation. Now simplify the equation 4x=60. You will get x=15 that will be the weeks. And now get 60+14 times it by 15 answer will equal as $270. So 15 weeks and $270 is the answer.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens upward. It has a vertex at (0, 0), a focus at (0, 1.5) and a directrix at y = negative 1.5. Which equation represents the parabola shown on the graph? y2 = 1.5x x2 = 1.5y y2 = 6x x2 = 6y

Answers

Answer:

d) The equation of the standard parabola

 x² = 6 y

Step-by-step explanation:

 The given directrix is y= -31.5

  The equation of the parabola is of the form x² =4 a y

  Given focus (0,1.5) , Here  a= 1.5

  The equation of the standard parabola

                                      x² = 4 a y

                                       x² = 4 (1.5)y

                                       x² = 6 y

Conclusion:-

The equation of the standard parabola

 x² = 6 y

The equation that represents the parabola shown on the graph is x∧2 = 6 y

What is a parabola?

A parabola is known as a plane curve that starts from a point and moves such that its distance from a fixed point is equal to its distance from a fixed line.

The graph shows a vertical parabola opened upwards with the vertex at the origin.

How to determine the equation

The equation of the parabola from the graph is;

x∧2 = 4ay

The equation of the directrix;

y = -a = -1. 5

Thus, the value of a = 1.5

Then, substitute the value of a = 1.5 in the equation deduced from the graph

x∧2 = 4 × (1.5) × y

x∧2 = 6 y

Therefore, the equation that represents the parabola shown on the graph is x∧2 = 6 y

Answers

Answer:

I'm sorry I don't have an answer but for all future math work you should download photomath on your phone it's rly good

Answer:

The solution set of the quadratic equation is

x = {7, -5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation

[tex]$ x^2 - 2x -35 = 0 $[/tex]

We need to factor this equation

So you need two numbers such that

a + b = -2

and

a×b = -35

How about -7 and 5?

-7 + 5 = -2

-2 = -2

and

-7×5 = -35

-35 = -35

(x - 7)(x + 5) = 0

(x - 7) = 0

x = 7

and

(x + 5) = 0

x = -5

Therefore, the solution set of the quadratic equation is

x = {7, -5}

Verification:

Plug 7 into the quadratic equation

[tex]x^2 - 2x -35 = 0 \\\\(7)^2 - 2(7) -35 = 0 \\\\49 - 14 - 35 = 0 \\\\49 - 49 = 0\\\\0 = 0[/tex]

Plug -5 into the quadratic equation

[tex]x^2 - 2x -35 = 0 \\\\(-5)^2 - 2(-5) -35 = 0 \\\\25 + 10 - 35 = 0 \\\\35 - 35 = 0\\\\0 = 0[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two matrices A and B are said to be equal if both matrices have the same number of rows and columns. Given the following matrices

[tex]A = -2\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&4\\3&7\\12&10\end{array}\right] \\multiplying\ the \ matrix\ through\ by\ -2\ will\ give\\A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}12&-8\\-6&-14\\-24&-20\end{array}\right] \\\\\\B =3 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&2&8\\8&5&6\end{array}\right] \\B = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&6&24\\24&15&18\end{array}\right] \\\\\\D = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}12&-8\\-6&-14\\-24&-20\end{array}\right][/tex]

From the above matrices, it can be seen that matrix A and C both has 3 rows and 2 columns each which matrix b has 2 rows and 3 columns.
