The time taken for the element X to decay from 560 grams to 150 grams is 24.7 mins

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 560 g
  • Amount remaining (N) = 150 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 560 / 150

2ⁿ = 3.73

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = Log 3.73

nLog 2 = Log 3.73

Divide both side by Log 2

n = Log 3.73 / Log 2

n = 1.9

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 1.9
  • Half-life (t½) = 13 mins
  • Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 1.9 × 13

t = 24.7 mins

What are the zeros of f(x)=x^2+3x-10
vekshin1

You must remember that a polynomial is written like so...

ax^2 + bx + c

In this case...

a = 1

b = 3

c = -10

To factor you must find two numbers who both add up to b (3) AND multiply to c (-10)

-2 + 5 = 3

-2 * 5 = -10

so...

(x - 2)(x + 5)

To find the zero you must set each factor equal to zero and solve for for x like so...

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

Hope this helped!

The volume of a sphere is 2254 pi ^3 what is the surface area of the sphere
weeeeeb [17]
The answer is 567.4 π m².
The surface area of the sphere with radius r is: A = 4 π r²The volume of the sphere with radius r is: V = 4/3 π r³
Step 1. Calculate the radius from the volume:V = 4/3 π r³ = 2,254 π m³r³ = (2,254 π) / (4/3 π)r³ = 2,254 π/π * 3/4r³ = 2,254 * 3/4r³ = 1,690.5r = ∛1,690.5r = 11.91 m
Step 2. Calculate the surface area using the r:A = 4 π r²A = 4 π 11.91²A = 567.4 π m²
