The equation that they have given is an absolute function meaning any outcome in this function will be POSITIVE no matter what.
For example
B(-6) = l-6 + 4l
B(-6) = l-2l or B(-6) = 2 

YOUR ANSWER

B(-10) = l -10 + 4l
B(-10) = l-6l or B (-10) = 6

so therefore your answer is C. 6

f(x)=\begin{cases} x  \geq  0 \implies |x| = x \\ x \ \textless \ 0 \implies |x|=-x \end{cases} \\  \\ b(x)=|x+4| \\  \\ b(-10)=|-10+4| = |-6| = -(-6)=6

The half-life of the isotope Osmium-183 is 12 hours. Choose the equation below that gives the remaining mass of Osmium-183 in gr
raketka [301]

The given equations are incomprehensible, I'm afraid...

You're given that osmium-183 has a half-life of 12 hours, so for some initial mass <em>M</em>₀, the mass after 12 hours is half that:

1/2 <em>M</em>₀ = <em>M</em>₀ exp(12<em>k</em>)

for some decay constant <em>k</em>. Solve for this <em>k</em> :

1/2 = exp(12<em>k</em>)

ln(1/2) = 12<em>k</em>

<em>k</em> = 1/12 ln(1/2) = - ln(2)/12

Now for some starting mass <em>M</em>₀, the mass <em>M</em> remaining after time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>M</em> = <em>M</em>₀ exp(<em>kt </em>)

So if <em>M</em>₀ = 590 g and <em>t</em> = 36 h, plugging these into the equation with the previously determined value of <em>k</em> gives

<em>M</em> = 590 exp(36<em>k</em>) = 73.75

so 73.75 ≈ 74 g of Os-183 are left.

Alternatively, notice that the given time period of 36 hours is simply 3 times the half-life of 12 hours, so 1/2³ = 1/8 of the starting amount of Os-183 is left:

590/8 = 73.75 ≈ 74

Lightning strikes Earth 1000 times in 10 seconds. How many seconds does it take for lightning to strike 7250 times? It takes sec
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1000 / 10 = 100 strikes per second. Now, multiply by 12 to find the number of strikes that occurred. 100 * 12 = 1200 strikes in 12 seconds. Part B: Divide the number of seconds to the number of lightning strikes to find the average rate. 10 / 1000 = 0.1 seconds per strike. Now, multiply by 7250 to find the number of seconds that passed.

Suppose 300 nursing students took a certification test that is worth 100 points.
Alja [10]

Answer:

225 students scored 65 or better and 75 students scored 88 or better.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The five-number summary for the scores of 300 nursing students are given :

Minimum = 40

Q_1 = 65

Median = 82

Q_3 = 88

Maximum = 100

Q_1 is the first quartile and is the median of the lower half of the data set. 25% of the numbers in the data set lie below Q_1 and about 75% lie above Q_1 .

Q_3 is the third quartile and is the median of the upper half of the data set. 75% of the numbers in the data set lie belowQ_3 and about 25% lie above Q_3

i) .About how many students scored 65 or better?

Q_1 = 65

Since we know that 75% lie above Q_1 .

So, Number of students  scored 65 or better = 75\% \times 300 = \frac{75}{100} \times 300 =225

ii)About how many students scored 88 or better?

Q_3 = 88

Since we know that 25% lie above Q_3

So, Number of students scored 88 or better = 25\% \times 300 = \frac{25}{100} \times 300 =75

Hence 225 students scored 65 or better and 75 students scored 88 or better.
