A radioactive compound with mass of 260 grams decays at a rate of 3.8% per hour. Which equation represents how many grams of the

compound will remain after 8 hours?
A: C=260(1.038)^8C=260(1.038)^8

B: C=260(0.962)^8C=260(0.962)^8

C: C=260(0.038)^8C=260(0.038)^8

D: C=260(1-0.38)^8C=260(1−0.38)^8

The exponential equation that represents how many grams of the compound will remain after 8 hours is:

B: C=260(0.962)^8

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

A radioactive compound with mass of 260 grams decays at a rate of 3.8% per hour, hence the equation for the mass after t hours is given by:

A(t) = 260(1 - 0.038)^t

A(t) = 260(0.962)^t

After 8 hours, the amount is given by:

A(t) = 260(0.962)^8

Hence option B is correct.

2 ^ 3 * 3 ^ 6 / 3 ^ 4 pls​
lesya [120]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3x3^6= 5832

5832/3^4=72

(You could very well solve this on a T84 calculator, there are apps that simulate it on the phone I believe, but if you do not have a phone I am sure you could find a website that could do the job just as well! Good luck with the work! ^-^)

Solve the equation for x by graphing.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You literally just have to use a calc or solve it by yourself. Doesn't need a graph.

-2x + 3 = 3x - 2 (-3 and -x create positive)

-5x + 3 = -2 (subtract 3x from both sides)

-5x = -5

x= 1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle WYZ.
Inga [223]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  False

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles in similar triangles are congruent. The similarity statement tells you angle B corresponds to angle Y, so those angles are congruent. The sines of congruent angles are identical.

  sin(B) > sin(Y) . . . . FALSE

  sin(B) = sin(Y) . . . . true
