An expecting mother wants to convert a corner of the nursery in her house into a rectangular playpen by enclosing the corner of

the room with two fences. if the woman has 10 feet of fencing material, what is the maximum area the playpen could encompass?

10=1+9 1x9=9
=2+8 2x8=16
=3+7 3x7=21
=4+6 4x6=24
=5+5 5x5=25
↑ Left: the possible measurements of the two fences, Right: the possible areas

out of the areas calculated, 25 sq feet is the maximum. :)

Ans: 25 square feet

In triangle EFG , EF=FG . EF= 6X-10 , EG =2X+14, and FG =3X+11. find EF .

jarptica [38.1K]

Since EF=FG, you can set 6x - 10 = to 3x + 11

$6x -10 = 3x +11$

Then add like terms

$6x - 3x = 11+10$

so, $3x = 21$

Now you can divide by 3 to get $x = 7$ :)

then put it back into $6x - 10$

$6(7) - 10 = EF$

so, $EF = 32$

Two different radioactive isotopes decay to 10% of their respective original amounts. Isotope A does this in 33 days, while isot

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay of an isotope is represented by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

Where:

$m$ - Current mass of the isotope, measured in kilograms.

$t$ - Time, measured in days.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in days.

The solution of the differential equation is:

$m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Where $m_{o}$ is the initial mass of the isotope, measure in kilograms.

Now, the time constant is cleared:

$\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

$\tau = -\frac{t}{\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }$

The half-life of a isotope ( $t_{1/2}$ ) as a function of time constant is:

$t_{1/2} = \tau \cdot \ln2$

$t_{1/2} = -\left(\frac{t}{\ln\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }\right) \cdot \ln 2$

The half-life difference between isotope B and isotope A is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left| -\left(\frac{t_{A}}{\ln \frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2+\left(\frac{t_{B}}{\ln \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

If $\frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} = \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} = 0.9$ , $t_{A} = 33\,days$ and $t_{B} = 43\,days$ , the difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left|-\left(\frac{33\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2 + \left(\frac{43\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

$\Delta t_{1/2} \approx 65.788\,days$

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.
