<u>Correct Question</u>
In the table shown, the sum of each row is shown to the right of the row and the sum of each column is shown below the column. What is the value of L?
Answer:
L=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first row: 2J+K=5
Therefore: K=5-2J
From the second column, 2K+J=7
Substitute K derived above into 2K+J=7
2K+J=7
2(5-2J)+J=7
10-4J+J=7
-3J=7-10
-3J=-3
J=1
Recall: K=5-2J
K=5-2(1)=3
K=3
From the third column, J+2L=15
1+2L=15
2L=15-1=14
L=7
Therefore, the value of L=7

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x, y , and z be the numbers.
Then the geometric sequence is
Recall that term of a geometric sequence are generally in the form:
This implies that:
a=32 and
Substitute a=32 and solve for r.
Take the fourth root to get:
Therefore
Answer:
It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of the element present, after t minutes, is:
In which Q(X) decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes.(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate it decreases.
Half life of 12 minutes
This means that
So
If there are 200 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 50 grams?
This is t when Q(t) = 50. Q(0) = 200.
It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
