The half - life of Barium-137m is 2.552 minutes. How much of an 18 gram sample would be left after 10 minutes

Mathematics

To simplify the problem imagine the half-life was 2.5 minutes. This means that there would be 10/2.5=4 periods of halving the mass, which means 1/2⁴=1/16 of 18g=1.125g.
So for the given half-life we calculate 10/2.552=3.9185 approx. So we now find 2 to this power=15.1211 approx and divide into 18=1.19g. This is close to the rough estimate we did earlier.

Convert y =(x+1)(x-9) to vertex form
IgorC [24]

Answer:

y = (x - 4)² - 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

y = (x + 1)(x - 9) ← expand factors using FOIL, thus

y = x² - 8x - 9

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x

y = x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 - 9

  = (x - 4)² - 25 ← in vertex form
