The amount in kilograms a, of a radioactive element that remains after t hours can be modeled by the equation a=0.65(0.92)t. Wha

The given equation is:

a=0.65(0.92)^{t}

The general equation for the radioactive decay can be written as:

a= a_{0}(1-r)^{t}

Where,
a₀ is the original amount of the substance
a is the amount after time t.
r is the decay rate, written in decimals.
t is the time.

Transforming the given equation, we can write:

a=0.65(1-0.08)^{t}

This means the decay rate for this radioactive element is 0.08 = 8%

Thus the percentage of decrease of the given radioactive element is 8%

The parabola y=x^2 is reflected across the x axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 1/8.
tekilochka [14]

ANSWER

The new equation is:

y =  -  \frac{1}{8}  {x}^{2}

EXPLANATION

The given parabola has equation,

y =  {x}^{2}

This is the parent function.

When we reflect this parabola in the x-axis and then scaled vertically by a factor of 1/8.

The new equation becomes:

y =  -  \frac{1}{8}  {x}^{2}

What is the critical f-value when the sample size for the numerator is four and the sample size for the denominator is seven? us
fgiga [73]

Assuming that we are performing a two-tailed test, the significance level is α = 0.1 would be dispersed in the distribution's tails with α/2  = 0.05.

And we must consider two critical values that add up to 0.05 of a area on every tail of a F distribution with a 10 degree angle.

\begin{aligned}&F_{\alpha / 2}=0.311 \\&F_{1-\alpha / 2}=4.06\end{aligned}

<h3>What is critical f-value?</h3>

An F statistic is one that is ascertained through an ANOVA test. It helps determine the relevance of the variable groups.

Now, according to the question;

We understand that sample size for numerator is 11 and also the sample size for denominator is 7. So, for each case, we can calculate a degrees of freedom as follows:

\begin{aligned}&d f_{\text {num }}=11-1=10 \\&d f_{d e n}=7-1=6\end{aligned}

In this case, the F distribution could have 10 degrees of freedom with in numerator as well as 6 degrees of freedom in the denominator.

Assuming we are conducting a two-tailed test, the significance level of α = 0.1 will be distributed in the tails of the distribution with α/2  = 0.05.

Now, locate two critical values that collect 0.05 of a area on every tail of F distribution to 10 degrees of freedom again for numerator and 6 degrees of freedom for the denominator and we obtained using a table or excel;

\begin{aligned}&F_{\alpha / 2}=0.311 \\&F_{1-\alpha / 2}=4.06\end{aligned}

Therefore, the critical f-value for the two-tailed experiment is found.

A rectangular brick walkway has a length of ten feet and a width of four feet.The length and the width of the walkway will each
ankoles [38]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{22.5 ft}^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Existing walkway

 l = 10 ft

w = 4 ft

A₁ = lw = 10 ft × 4 ft = 40 ft²

New walkway

Expanding a measurement by 25 % means that you multiply it by a factor of 1.25.

New length = 10 × 1.25 = 12.5 ft

New width =    4 × 1.25 =   5    ft

A₂ = lw = 12.5 ft × 5 ft = 62.5 ft²

Increase in area

A₂ - A₁ = 62.5 – 40 = 22.5 ft²

The increase in area is \boxed{\textbf{22.5 ft}^{2}}
