Answer: he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The total amount of money he is to collect is;

A = 20 - 10.50 = $9.50

Let x represent the number of quarter he collected.

Then the number of fifty-cent pieces he collected will be; 30-x

Therefore we can represent it with the equation below;

0.25x + 0.50(30-x) = 9.50

0.25x + 15 - 0.50x = 9.50

0.25x = 15-9.50

x = (15-9.50)/0.25

x = 5.50/0.25

x = 22

The number of fifty-cent is equal to;

30-x = 30-22 = 8

Therefore, he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces

A 41 gram sample of a substance that's used to detect explosives has a k-value of 0.1392. Find the substance's half life, in day
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The substance half-life is of 4.98 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for an amount of a decaying substance:

The equation for the amount of a substance that decay exponentially has the following format:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}

In which k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

k-value of 0.1392.

This means that:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.1392t}

Find the substance's half life, in days.

This is t for which A(t) = 0.5A(0). So

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.1392t}

0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.1392t}

e^{-0.1392t} = 0.5

\ln{e^{-0.1392t}} = \ln{0.5}

-0.1392t = \ln{0.5}

t = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{0.1392}

t = 4.98

The substance half-life is of 4.98 days.
