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

Answer:

A, C and E are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is a set of natural numbers.

The recursive formula is correct:

When x = 1, f(x) = 4 and f(x + 1) = f(2) = 3/2 f(x) = 3/2 * 4 = 6.

It is also true for the other points on the graph.

D is  incorrect.

E is correct exponential growth with the formula  4(3/2)^(x-1).

Can somebody like tell me the answer
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Mason is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent ratios are formed when the same number is MULTIPLIED to each number in the ratior, not when the same number is added. So for example, a ratio equivalent to 2:3 would be 4:6, because 2*2=4 and 3*2=6. You multiply to create equivalent ratios, not add.

(That would be your explanation)
