Answer:

-2 is greater than -2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other questions are false and only answer a is correct because -2 is closer to 0 than -2 1/2.

Answer:

<h2><em><u>-2 is greater than -2.5</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

B is wrong. This is because when you look on the number like you can see that the option for 1.5 is greater than one is false. This is because 1.5 is ahead of the 1 on the number line.

C is wrong. This is because the number 1 is greater than -1.5. The number one is ahead of the number -1.5.

D is wrong. D is wrong because when a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -1.5 is smaller than -0.5.

<em><u>So the answer is A. -2 is greater than -2.5. It can be proved because of the rule written that a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -2.5 is smaller than -2. And the reciprocal is true. -2 is larger than -2.5.</u></em>

Hope this helped,

The half-life of plutonium-241 is 14.4 years. How much of the original 3.6 grams of this

avanturin [10]

$\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{current amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &3.6\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &45\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &14.4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=3.6\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{45}{14.4}}\implies A=3.6\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{3.125}\implies A\approx 0.41265$

-3/7, -8/3 and -5/2,-2 slope

Alja [10]

So the points are (-3/7,-8/3) and (-5/2,-2)
to find the slope do
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x,y)
x1=-3/7
y1=-8/3
x2=-5/2
y2=-2

subsitute
$\frac{-2-( \frac{-8}{3} )}{ \frac{-5}{2} - \frac{-3}{7} }$
simplify by finding similar denomenators
$\frac{\frac{-6}{3}-( \frac{-8}{3} )}{ \frac{-35}{14} - \frac{-6}{14} }$
$\frac{\frac{-6}{3}( \frac{8}{3} )}{ \frac{-35}{14} + \frac{6}{14} }$
add
$\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{ \frac{-29}{14}}$
multiply top and bottom by $\frac{-14}{29$
$\frac{\frac{-28}{87}}{1}$
$\frac{-28}{87}$
answer is
slope= $\frac{-28}{87}$
