The amount of a radioactive isotope decays in half every year. The amount of the isotope can be modeled by f(x) = 346(one half)x

and f(1) = 173. What does the one half represent?

It means the first iteration of decay would be 1/2 of 346, which is 173

The floor of a room is being covered with tile. An area one half

tangare [24]

Answer:

Only the floor area $\frac{3}{8}$ has been covered

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the floor of the room is rectangular, then its area is equal to the product of its length times its width.

$A = lw$

Let's now call A 'the area that was covered with tiles.

We know that half the length was covered, then:

$l' = \frac{1}{2}l$

$w' = \frac{3}{4}w$

So:

$A' = \frac{1}{2}l(\frac{3}{4}w)$

$A' = \frac{3}{8}lw$

Finally:

$A' = \frac{3}{8}A$

What is the x-intercepts of the function f(x)=-2x2-3x+20

Dmitry [639]

Hey,
The x-intercepts are the coordinates where the line intercepts the x-axis.

x-intercepts: $( \frac{16}{3}, 0)$

Cheers,
Izzy
