Answer:

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2 ^ n

where 'n' = number of half-lives n = 65 / 29 = 2.2413793103

Ending Amount = 25 g / 2^2.2413793103

Ending Amount = 25 / 4.7284892286

Ending Amount = 5.2871009727  g = 5.29 g (rounded)

Find two consecutive integers whose product is 50
GarryVolchara [31]

n, n+1 - two consecutive integers

n(n + 1) = 50     <em>use distributive property</em>

n² + n = 50     <em>subtract 50 from both sides</em>

n² + n - 50 = 0

-----------------------------------------------------

ax² + bx + c =0

if b² - 4ac > 0 then we have two solutions:

[-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and [-b - √(b² + 4ac)]/2a

if b² - 4ac = 0 then we have one solution -b/2a

if  b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solution

----------------------------------------------------------

n² + n - 50 = 0

a = 1, b = 1, c = -50

b² - 4ac = 1² - 4(1)(-50) = 1 + 200 = 201 > 0 → two solutions

√(b² - 4ac) = √(201) - it's the irrational number

Answer: There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 50.

What is the quotient of 3 ÷ 2 1/3, reduced to lowest terms?\
Arisa [49]

Answer:

\frac{9}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ÷ 2 1/3

2 1/3 can be written as \frac{2*3+1}{3} =\frac{7}{3}

Now we divide 3 by 7/3

\frac{3}{\frac{7}{3}}

Now we flip the fraction 7/3  and  multiply with 3

3*\frac{3}{7}

\frac{9}{7}

We cannot simplify it

So 9/7 is the final answer

Convert Each Equation To Slope-Intercept Form. (1/2)
kotykmax [81]
Hey there, Mandoguy!

To convert each equation to slope-intercept form, first we need to distribute everything that's on the parenthesis (if it has one)
So, number one would be

1) y + 3 = 4x + 24 (I multiplied 4 times x and 4 times 6)
Now, we need to isolate y and since they are adding 3 to it, we need to subtract 3 to cancel it out. Remember what we do on one side we have to do it in the other side.
So, it would be y + 3 - 3 = 4x + 24 - 3
Number 1 would be
y = 4x + 21
y=4x+21

2) 6x + 2y = 12
Goes to
2y = 12 - 6x (I subtracted 6x from both sides to leave 2y alone)
y = 6 - 3x (I divided both sides by 2 since y it's being multiplied by 2)
y = -3x + 6 (Now, I just rearranged to make it y = mx + b
y=-3x+6

3) y = -2 + 1/3 (x + 9) In this case y is already isolated but we have parenthesis and we can't have that.
So, we distribute the number that's in front of the parenthesis to the numbers inside.
y = -2 + 1/3x + 3 (I multiplied 1/3 times x and 1/3 times 9 which is 3)
y = 1/3x + 1 (I combined like terms and rearranged to make it y=mx+b)
y= \frac{1}{3} x+1

4) 2x - 5y = -15 (Same as always. Isolate y. Subtract 2x from both sides)
-5y = -15 - 2x (Did you see that? We have a negative value on y and we can't have that. To fix it, we multiply both sides by -1 or just change the sign of every term)
Once you do that you will get
5y = 15 + 2x
y = 3 + 2/5 x (I divided both sides by 5 to isolate y)
y = 2/5x + 3 (Rearranged it to y = mx + b)
y =  \frac{2}{5}x + 3

5) -x - 2y = 2 (Since the x it's being subtracted, we added to both sides)
-2y = 2 + x (See again? We have a negative value on y, so we multiply by -1 on both sides or change every sign to the opposite of itself)
So we get
2y = -2 - x (Now, we divide both sides by 2 to isolate y)
y = -1/2x - 1 (Rearranged to y = mx + b)
y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 1
