1)\text{   }N_t\text{ = 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{17.5}}

2) 5.625 mg will be left

Explanation:

1) Half-life = 17.5 days

initial amount of Arsenic-74 = 90 mg

To get the equation, we will use the equation of half-life:

\begin{gathered} N_t\text{ = N}_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}} \\ where\text{ N}_t\text{ = amount remaining} \\ N_0\text{ = initial amount} \\ t_{\frac{1}{2}\text{ }}\text{ = half-life} \end{gathered}N_t\text{ = 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{17.5}}

2) we need to find the remaining amount of Arsenic-74 after 70 days

t = 70

\begin{gathered} N_t=\text{ 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{70}{17.5}} \\ N_t\text{ = 5.625 mg} \end{gathered}

So after 70 days, 5.625 mg will be left

Factorize <br><br> cos2A - 5 cosA + 6
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Let's assign the variable x to cosA. The expression then becomes x² - 5x + 6. To factorize this we need to find two numbers that have a sum of -5 and a product of 6; these numbers are -2 and -3 so the expression becomes (x - 2)(x - 3). Since we know that x = cosA the final answer is (cosA - 2)(cosA - 3).

In the right triangle shown Ac=BC and AB=6 to the square root of 3, how long are each of the legs
Inga [223]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

I will just assume that you made a typo when typing the question when saying AB is 6√3. Here is the solution if AB = 6√2.

Since it is given that ABC is a right triangle and x labels each of the legs, the triangle is a right isoceles triangle.

Now we can use the right isoceles triangle theorem to solve the problem. This theorem states that if a leg is "x" in a right isoceles triangle, then the hypotenuse is equal to x√2.

Here, the hypotenuse is equal to 6√2. To figure out the legs, you need to solve the equation 6√2 = x√2. It is solved here:

6√2 = x√2 (Divide by √2)

x = 6

The length of the legs are 6 units.

Two airplanes, which start 3{,}3003,3003, comma, 300 miles apart, fly toward each other. The two planes fly at a constant speed,
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

distance=rate*time

2520=(r)(3)+(r+90)(3)    (they both travel for 3 hours)

2520=3r+3r+270

2520-270=6r

2250=6r

r=2250/6

r=375 mph

r+90=375+90=465 mph
