The amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

We have that the function is given as a model;

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

Where

  • x = number of years of the vault = 140 years
  • f(x) is the amount  in pounds

Let's substitute the value of 'x' in the model

f(x) = 300(0.5)x/100

f(x) = \frac{300(0.5) * 140}{100}

f(x) =\frac{21000}{100}

f(140) = 210 pounds

This mean that the function of 149 years would give an amount of 210 pounds rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Thus, the amount of the radioactive material in the vault after 140 years is 210 pounds

The picture frame has a perimeter of 100 inches. The width is 22 inches. Calculate the missing length. Use that answer to find t
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

39 inches.

858 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length:- (if length = x)

2 ( 11 + x ) = 100

22 + 2x = 100

2x = 100 - 22

2x = 78

x = 78 ÷ 2

x = 39 inches

Area:-

Area = l × b

= 39 × 22

= 858 inches²
