The amount of a pollutant (measured as parts per million) in a local lake can be modeled by the function of A(t)=14(2.71)^-.016*

t, where t is the number of years since a government program was began to help clean up the lake. About how long will it take for the amount of pollutant to reach 7 parts per million?

Solving the exponential function, it is found that it will take 43.5 years for the amount of pollutant to reach 7 parts per million.

<h3>What is the exponential function for the amount of the substance?</h3>

It is given by, after t years:

A(t) = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

It will reach an amount of 7 parts per million when A(t) = 7, hence:

A(t) = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

7 = 14(2.71)^{-0.016t}

(2.71)^{-0.016t} = 0.5

\log{(2.71)^{-0.016t}} = \log{0.5}

-0.016t\log{(2.71)} = \log{0.5}

t = -\frac{\log{0.5}}{0.016\log{2.71}}

t = 43.5.

Antônia tem um caneca com a capacidade de 2/3Lde água. Que fração dessa caneca ela encherá com 1/2L de água?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The fraction of cup filled with water is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antonia has a mug with a capacity of 2/3L of water. What fraction of that mug will she fill with 1/2L of water?

Capacity =  2/3 L

Amount of water = 1/2 L

Fraction of amount of water to the capacity of mug is

\frac{1}{2}\div \frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{4}

a segment has and endpoint at (-6, 8). The midpoint is at (-6, 2). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

(-6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first endpoint of the line is (-6,8), we can call

x_1 = -6

and

y_1 = 8

Let the last endpoint have coordinates (x_2,y_2)

Also, the midpoint formula is:

(x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2

Now, plugging these values is the formula, we get:

(-6+x_2)/2 = -6

-6+x_2=-12

x_2=-12+6 = -6

x_2 = -6

Also

(8+y_2)/2=2

8+y_2=4

y_2=4-8=-4

y_2 = -4

The coordinates of the other endpoint is (-6,-4)
