Step-by-step explanation:
so, that means we want to find the time t (days) after which N = No/2
because "half-life" means the amount of time until half of the substance has disappeared (or transformed into something else).
so, we have
No/2 = No × e^(-0.1481×t)
No = 2× No × e^(-0.1481×t)
1 = 2×e^(‐0.1481×t)
1/2 = 0.5 = e^(-0.1481×t)
ln(0.5) = -0.1481×t
t = ln(0.5)/-0.1481 = 4.680264555... ≈ 4.7 days
Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
Answer:
1. d
2. d
3. c
explanation
1. reflection, rotation, and dilations are all transformations
2. congruent shapes have to have the same shape and size, meaning they also have the same angle measures
3. sometimes, shapes may have the same area and perimeter but be different
2x + y = 3
First give them values.
