<h2>Half Life</h2>

The half life period is the time in which only half of the given population remains. It can be represented through this equation:

f(t)=a\times(1/2)^{\frac{t}{h}}

  • <em>t</em> = time passed
  • <em>a</em> = y-intercept
  • <em>h</em> = half life

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • <em>h</em> = 28 million years
  • <em>a</em> = 184 grams (this is the initial mass, after 0 time has passed)

For most questions like this, we would have to plug these values into the equation mentioned above. However, this question asks for the time elapsed after 3 half-lives.

This can be calculated simply by multiplying the given half-life by 3:

28 million years x 3

= 84 million years

<h2>Answer</h2>

84 million years

Choose the solution(s) of the following system of equations x2 + y2 = 6 x2 – y = 6
ElenaW [278]
<h2>Answer</h2>

x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1

Or as ordered pairs: (\sqrt{6} ,0),(-\sqrt{6} ,0),(\sqrt{5} ,-1),(-\sqrt{5} ,-1)

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Lets solve our system of equations  step by step

x^2+y^2=6 equation (1)

x^2-y=6 equation (2)

1. Solve for x^2 in equation (2)

x^2-y=6

x^2=6+y equation (3)

2. Replace equation (3) in equation (1) and solve for y

x^2+y^2=6

6+y+y^2=6

y^2+y=0

y(y+1)=0

y=0 or y=-1

3. Replace the values of y in equation (3) and solve for x

- For y=0

x^2=6+y

x^2=6

x=\sqrt{6} or x=-\sqrt{6}

- For y=-1

x^2=6+y

x^2=6-1

x^2=5

x=\sqrt{5} or x=-\sqrt{5}

So, the solutions of our system of equation are:

x=\sqrt{6}, y=0\\ x=-\sqrt{6} , y=0\\x=\sqrt{5} , y=-1\\x=-\sqrt{5} , y=-1
