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.

1. Find p(-3) if p(x) = 4x3 - 5x2 + 7x - 10
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

1) -184

2) 13(m^{4}) ^{2}-3(m^{4})+4

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem number 1, Let's start by substituting all the x's for -3

So the equation will look like

p(-3)=4(-3)^{3}-5(-3)^{2}+7(-3)-10

Now, lets simplify by solving the exponents

First we'll do -3^{3} which equals -27

Now we'll do -3^{2} which equals 9

So now our equation looks like

p(-3)=4(-27)-5(9)+7(-3)-10

Now, we are going to multiply all these numbers

First 4(-27) which equals -108

Now -5(9) which equals -45

And finally 7(-3) which equals -21

Now our equation looks like

p(-3)= -108-45-21-10

Now we can solve

-108-45-21-10=-184

6k ÷ 7 = -3<br> Solve for k
fomenos

Answer:

k = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6k ÷ 7 = -3

Multiply 7 to both sides

6k = -21

Divide both sides by 6

6k/6 = -21/6

k = -3.5

To check if the answer is correct or not, you can always plug in -3.5 for k in the equation.

6(-3.5) ÷ 7 = -3

-21 ÷ 7 = -3

-3 = -3

-3 equals -3 so it is correct that k = -3.5

Indirect Proof help! WILL MEDAL

The area of the rectangle:
A = Length x Width = JK x KL = 36 cm²
If JK ≥ 4 cm, we have to prove that KL ≤ 9 cm.
Answer:
Assume that a. KL > 9 cm.
Then the area of rectangle JKLM is greater than b. 36 cm²,
which contradicts the given information that c. side is at least 4 cm long.
So the assumption must be false. Therefore, d. KL ≤ 9 cm.
