1. Devin is making a candle by pouring melted wax into a mold in the shape of a square pyramid. Each side of the base of the pyr

amid is 9 cm and the height of the pyramid is 10 cm. To get the wax for the candle, Devin melts cubes of wax that are each 4 cm by 4 cm by 2 cm. How many of the wax cubes will Devin need in order to make the candle? Show your work

Answer:

Devin will need 9 cubes of wax.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the pyramid, you use (area of the base)* height of the pyramid divided by 3. You know the volume of a cube of wax is 32 cm^3. The volume of your pyramid is 270 cm^3. 270/32=8.4375.

Once you get 8.4375 cubes, you round to the next whole number, which is nine.

The half-life of a radioactive element is 130 days, but your sample will not be useful to you after 80% of the radioactive nu

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

We can use the sample about 42 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decay Equation:

$\frac{dN}{dt}\propto -N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{dt} =-\lambda N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{N} =-\lambda dt$

Integrating both sides

$\int \frac{dN}{N} =\int\lambda dt$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|=-\lambda t+c$

When t=0, N= $N_0$ = initial amount

$\Rightarrow ln|N_0|=-\lambda .0+c$

$\Rightarrow c= ln|N_0|$

$\therefore ln|N|=-\lambda t+ln|N_0|$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|-ln|N_0|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$ .......(1)

$\frac{N}{N_0}=e^{-\lambda t}$ .........(2)

Logarithm:

$ln|\frac mn|= ln|m|-ln|n|$
$ln|ab|=ln|a|+ln|b|$

$ln|e^a|=a$

$ln|a|=b \Rightarrow a=e^b$
$ln|1|=0$

130 days is the half-life of the given radioactive element.

For half life,

$N=\frac12 N_0$ , $t=t_\frac12=130$ days.

we plug all values in equation (1)

$ln|\frac{\frac12N_0}{N_0}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|\frac{\frac12}{1}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|1|-ln|2|-ln|1|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow -ln|2|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{-ln|2|}{-130}$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{ln|2|}{130}$

We need to find the time when the sample remains 80% of its original.

$N=\frac{80}{100}N_0$

$\therefore ln|{\frac{\frac {80}{100}N_0}{N_0}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{\frac {80}{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{ {80}|-ln|{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{ln|80|-ln|100|}{-\frac{ln|2|}{130}}$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{(ln|80|-ln|100|)\times 130}{-{ln|2|}}$

$\Rightarrow t\approx 42$

We can use the sample about 42 days.

Kengrew 4/5 of an inch last year sang grew three eighths of an inch who grew more and by how much

Tom [10]

Answer:

Ken;

Step-by-step explanation:

Ken grew 4/5 of an inch. 4/5=0.8

Sang grew 3/8 of an inch. 3/8= 0.375

0.8 > 0.375 so Ken grew more.

0.8 - 0.375 = 0.425

So, Ken grew 0.425 more inches than Sang grew. 0.425 is also the same thing as 17/40.
