The answer is:  " 50 " .
__________________________________________________

Note: 1.5% = (1.5)/100 = 1.5 ÷ 100 = 0.015 ; 

0.75 = (0.015)x ; solve for "x" ;

↔   (0.015)x = 0.75 ;

Multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "1000" ; to simplify: 

         15x = 750 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "15" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 

         15x / 15 = 750 / 15 ;

to get:     x = 50 ; which is our answer.
____________________________________
Let us check:  0.75 = (0.015)x ;  does this hold true when "x = 50" ?

→  0.75 = (0.015)x ;

↔ (0.015)x = 0.75 ;

    →  Plug in "50" for "x" to see if the equation holds true; 

    →  (0.015)*(50) = ? 0.75 ??

    →  Check using calculator ;

    →  (0.015)*(50) = 0.75 .  Yes!

Dubnium-262 has a half-life of 34 s. How long will it take for 500.0 grams to
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

half-life of the given Dubnium = 34 s

initial mass of the given Dubnium, m₀ = 500 grams

final mass of the element, mf = 1 g

The time taken for the radioactive element to decay to its final mass is calculated as follows;

1 = 500 (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}} \\\\\frac{1}{500} =  (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}\\\\log(\frac{1}{500}) = log [(0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}]\\\\log(\frac{1}{500})  = \frac{t}{34} log(0.5)\\\\-2.699 = \frac{t}{34} (-0.301)\\\\t = \frac{2.699 \times 34}{0.301} \\\\t = 304.8 \ s

Therefore, the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

A bin is constructed from sheet metal with a square base and 4 equal rectangular sides. if the bin is constructed from 48 square
kondaur [170]
This is a problem of maxima and minima using derivative.

In the figure shown below we have the representation of this problem, so we know that the base of this bin is square. We also know that there are four square rectangles sides. This bin is a cube, therefore the volume is:

V = length x width x height

That is:

V = xxy = x^{2}y

We also know that the <span>bin is constructed from 48 square feet of sheet metal, s</span>o:

Surface area of the square base = x^{2}

Surface area of the rectangular sides = 4xy

Therefore, the total area of the cube is:

A = 48 ft^{2} =  x^{2} + 4xy

Isolating the variable y in terms of x:

y =  \frac{48- x^{2} }{4x}

Substituting this value in V:

V =  x^{2}( \frac{48- x^{2} }{x}) = 48x- x^{3}

Getting the derivative and finding the maxima. This happens when the derivative is equal to zero:

\frac{dv}{dx} = 48-3x^{2} =0

Solving for x:

x =  \sqrt{\frac{48}{3}} =  \sqrt{16} = 4

Solving for y:

y =  \frac{48- 4^{2} }{(4)(4)} = 2

Then, <span>the dimensions of the largest volume of such a bin is:
</span>
Length = 4 ft
Width =  4 ft
Height = 2 ft

And its volume is:

V = (4^{2} )(2) = 32 ft^{3}

G=-4x-4, solve for x
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

G = -4x - 4

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: flip your equation and turn G into zero

ex: -4x - 4 = 0

step 2: add 4 to both sides

ex: -4x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4   (-4x = 4)

step 3: divide both sides by -4

ex: -4x/-4 = 4/-4   (x = -1)

step 4: plug -1 into x then solve to check your answer

ex: -4(-1) - 4 = 0

4 - 4 = 0

0 = 0 (when this says 0 = 0 then that means your answer is always true)
