Melanie began studying a sample of the chemical element einsteinium-253 which naturally loses its mass over time. The relationsh

ip between the elapsed time, t, in days, since Melanie started studying the sample, and the total mass remaining in the sample, M(t), in micrograms, is modeled by the following function: M(t)=169⋅(0.96)^t. How much percent does the chemical element lose weight by everyday?

Answer:

The chemical element loses 4% of its weight everyday

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in knowing the percentage weight loss of the chemical each day.

The key to answering this is looking at the expression inside the bracket.

We can express M(t) = 169•(0.96)^t as

M(t) = 169•(1-0.04)^t

So what this means is that we need to find the percentage value corresponding to 0.04 since it is a constant term here

Mathematically, 0.04 is same as 4/100, so we can clearly say that the constant percentage loss is 4%

What is 2x squared plus 5x - 9
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It would be 7x-9 because 2x squared would be 4x, and you can only simplify two numbers if they have the same variable after it. So, all you can do is simplify this equation down to 7x-9.

Pierre is running 26 and 2/10 miles in the marathon. he has ran 3/4 of the way. How far has he run?
vredina [299]
Distance=(3/4) * (26  2/10  miles)

26  2/10  miles=26  1/5 miles=(5*26+1) / 5 miles=131/5 miles.

Therefore:

distance=(3/4) * (26  2/10 miles)=(3/4) * (131 /5 miles)=
=(131 *3) / (4*5) miles=393/20 miles= (19*20+13)20 miles=19  13/20 miles.


he has run 393/20 miles    or    19  13/20  miles

Can someone please do this i suck at math
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Width = y + 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = {y}^{2}  + 8xy + 7 {x}^{2}

Length of the rectangle = y + x

Lets factorise {y}^{2}  + 8xy + 7 {x}^{2}

=  >  {y}^{2}  + xy + 7xy +  {x}^{2}

=  > y(y + x) + 7x(y + x)

=  > (y + 7x)(y + x)

Now ,

Width = \frac{Area}{Length}  =  \frac{(y + 7x)(y + x)}{(y + x)}  = y + 7x
