Answer:

Given that,

The number of grams A of a certain radioactive substance present at time, in years

from the present, t is given by the formula

A=45e^{-0.0045(t)}

a) To find the initial amount of this substance

At t=0, we get

A=45e^{-0.0045(0)}A=45e^0

We know that e^0=1 ( anything to the power zero is 1)

we get,

A=45

The initial amount of the substance is 45 grams

b)To find thehalf-life of this substance

To find t when the substance becames half the amount.

A=45/2

Substitute this we get,

\frac{45}{2}=45e^{-0.0045(t)}

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.0045(t)}

Taking natural logarithm on both sides we get,

\ln (\frac{1}{2})=-0.0045(t)^{}(-1)\ln (\frac{1}{2})=0.0045(t)\ln (\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=0.0045(t)\ln (2)=0.0045(t)0.6931=0.0045(t)t=\frac{0.6931}{0.0045}t=154.02

Half-life of this substance is 154.02

c) To find the amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years

Put t=2500

we get,

A=45e^{-0.0045(2500)}A=45e^{-11.25}A=45\times0.000013=0.000585A=0.000585

The amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years is 0.000585 grams

The volume of a prism is 378CM2 one of the faces are 27cm 2 the edge is x, x=?<br> mathswatch.
olga_2 [115]

The length of the prism is 14 cm if the volume of the prism is 378 cubic cm and face area is 27 square cm.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

It is defined as a three-dimensional space enclosed by an object or thing.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture please refer to the attached picture.

We know the volume of the prism can be calculated:

Volume = base area×length

378 = 27x

x = 378/27 = 14 cm

Thus, the length of the prism is 14 cm if the volume of the prism is 378 cubic cm and face area is 27 square cm.

A soccer team scores 12 points in 5 matches. They scored the same number of points in each of their first 3 matches and one more
NeX [460]

Answer:

2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

Step-by-step explanation:

12 points in 5 matches and the first 3 are all the same then the other 2 increased by 1 point

They got 2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

2 + 2 + 2 (first 3 matches) = 6

3 + 3 (last 2 matches) = 6

6 + 6 = 12

A rectangular yard is 20 feet by 15 feet. The yard Is covered with grass except for an 8.5 feet. Square flower garden. How much
stich3 [128]

Answer: 227.75\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "A rectangular yard is 20 ft by 15 ft. The yard is cover with grass except for 8.5 feet square flower garden. How much grass is in the yard?"</h3><h3 />

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the following formula:

A=lw

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width.

Based on the data given in the exercise, you can identify tha the length and the width of the rectangular yard are:

l=20\ ft\\\\w=15\ ft

Then, you can substitute these values into the formula and then evaluate in order to find the area of the entire yard:

A_y=(20\ ft)(15\ ft)=\\\\A_y=300\ ft^2

The area of the flower garden which is an square, can be calculated with this formula:

A=s^2

Where "s" is the side length.

 In this case you know that:

s=8.5\ ft

Then the area of the flower garden is:

A_g=(8.5\ ft)^2\\\\A_g=72.25\ ft^2

<em> </em>Since this is not covered with grass, you need to subtract both areas calculated above in order to find the surface covered with grass in the yard.

This is:

A_g=300\ ft^2-72.25\ ft^2\\\\A_g=227.75\ ft^2
