The function A=A_oe^{-0.01155x} A = A o e − 0.01155 x models the amount in pounds of a particular radioactive material stored in

a concrete vault, where A_o A o is the original amount of material and x is the number of years since the material was put in the vault. If 900 pounds of material are placed in the vault, how much time will need to pass for only 357 pounds to remain? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

They are essentially asking us to solve:

357=900e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \frac{357}{900}=e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \ln{\frac{357}{900}}=-0.01155x \implies \\ x\approx 80.1

Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.

Answer:

80.1 years of time will be needed to pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

A=A_o\times e^{-0.01155\times x}

Given :A_o=900 pound

A = 357 pounds

x = ?

Using the given expression:

A=A_o\times e^{-0.01155\times x}

Taking ln both sides:

\ln A=\ln A_o -0.01155\times x

\ln (357 pounds) =\ln (900) -0.01155\times x

\ln (357 pounds) -\ln (900 pounds)=-0.01155\times x

x=\ln \frac{900 pounds}{357 pounds}\times \frac{1}{0.01155}

x = 80.0570 years ≈ 80.1 years

80.1 years of time will be needed to pass.

A deck of 40 cards contains 20 blue and 20 red cards. Each color has cards numbered 1 to 20.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A red 5 is chosen from the deck. The card is put back into the deck and the a red card is chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent event is one whose outcome is not dependent on any other event. There are two types of cards in the deck. If a red card is selected it will be from the series 1 - 20, if the card is put back into deck and then again a red card is selected it will be again from the series 1 - 20. This is an independent event since its outcome is same irrespective of the events.

If BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5× - 3, and AE = 4× - 6, what are the values of x and AC?​
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

x = 7

AC = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

According to the parallelogram,

BD = 2BE

5x-3 = 2(2x+2)

5x-3 = 4x+4

5x-4x = 4+3

x = 7

Hence the value of  x is 7

Also AC = 2AE

AC = 2(4x-6)

AC = 8x - 12

AC = 8(7) - 12

AC=  56-12

AC = 44

Hence the measure of AC is 44
