How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with

Mathematics

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

N_{0} = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t} or more simply N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }

t_{h} = time of the half-life

We know that N_{0} = 35,912, t = 14,680, and t_{h}=7,340

Plug these into the equation:

N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.

Hope this helps!! Ask questions if you need!!

Artist 52 [7]

Solution: Let "m" be the number of marbles  Santana has.

First he wants to give one-tenth of his marbles to his brother. That is:

\frac{1}{10} \times m

He also wants to give 8 more marbles to his brother.

Therefore,

Santana wants to give 8 + \frac{m}{10} marbles to his brother

out of 45 times at bat, Raul got 19 hits. Find Rauls batting average as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Raul only hit 19 times out of 45 bats.
Now, let’s find the average decimal value of Raul’s hit.
=> 19 hits
=> 45 bats
x = value in decimals

=> 19 = x * 45
=> 19 = 45x
Now, divide both sides with 45
=> 19/45 = 45x / 45
=> 0.4222222 = x
x = 0.422222……..
Since it is a repeating decimals, and we only need to find the thousandths value. Let’s get the value of Thousandths.
=> 4 = tenths
=> 2 = hundredths
=> 2 thousandths
Therefore the value of 19 hits out of 45 bats in decimals is
=> .422 </span>

Help me substitution method define variables
Rina8888 [55]
\left \{ {{S=14+L} (I) \atop {S+L=124}(II)} \right.

<span>Substitute (I) into (II), we have:
</span>S+L=124
(14+L)+L=124
14 + 2L = 124
2L = 124 - 14
2L = 110
L =  \frac{110}{2}
\boxed{L = 55}

<span>Replace (II) in (I), we have:
</span>S=14+L
S = 14+ 55
\boxed{S = 69}

Someone help me with this
skad [1K]

Answer:

m∠ABC = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of three angles of any triangle is invariably equal to the straight angle, also expressed as 180 °

So you subtract the given measurements of ∠BAC (76°) and ∠ ACB (19°) from 180. 180-76-19 = 74

The measurement of angle ABC is 74°
