The weight of a radioactive isotope was 96 grams at the start of an experiment. After one hour, the weight of the isotope was ha

lf of its initial weight. After two hours, the weight of the isotope was half of its weight the previous hour. If this pattern continues, which of the following graphs represents the weight of the radioactive isotope over time?

Answer:  Initial Weight = W₁ = 96

Change factor = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting weight of the radioactive isotope = 96 grams

Weight after one hour is half of the starting weight. So the weight of the radioactive isotope after 1 hour = 48 grams

After 2 hours the weight is half as compared to the weight after previous hour. So weight after 2 hours = 24 grams.

This means, after every hour the weight is being halved. The half life of radioactive isotope is one hour.

Since after every hour, the weight is being halved, the weight of the isotope can be modeled by an exponential equation.

So,

Initial Weight = W₁ = 96
Change factor = 1/2 = 0.5

The general equation of the sequence will be:

\\  \\ W_{t}=96(0.5)^{t}

Here t represents the number of hours. Using various values of t we can find the weight of the radioactive isotope at that time.

We can plot the sequence using the above equation. The graph is attached below.

39+5h+4g-2h i have been trying 2 work this out 4 ages so plz help
SIZIF [17.4K]
Unless you're given the value of the variables, you can't really solve for anything. The only thing you can do is simplify. 

<span>39+5h+4g-2h
The only like terms are 5h and -2h.

39 + 3h + 4g
This would be the simplified version.</span>

HELP <br><br>Determine whether the relation is a function<br><br> y=2w=2​

Answer:

Hi there!

I might be able to help you!

It is NOT a function.

<u>Determining whether a relation is a function on a graph is relatively easy by using the vertical line test. If a vertical line crosses the relation on the graph only once in all locations, the relation is a function. However, if a vertical line crosses the relation more than once, the relation is not a function</u>. <u>X = y2 would be a sideways parabola and therefore not a function.</u> Good test for function: Vertical Line test. If a vertical line passes through two points on the graph of a relation, it is <em>not </em>a function. A relation which is not a function. The x-intercept of a function is calculated by substituting the value of f(x) as zero. Similarly, the y-intercept of a function is calculated by substituting the value of x as zero. The slope of a linear function is calculated by rearranging the equation to its general form, f(x) = mx + c; where m is the slope.

A relation that is not a function

As we can see duplication in X-values with different y-values, then this relation is not a function.

A relation that is a function

As every value of X is different and is associated with only one value of y, this relation is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's up there!

God bless you!

Your answer would be $13.50 because is 3 bags cost 6.75 and you need 6 bags then just multiply the 6.75 by 2 and you get your answer :)
