Answer:  2.66 × 10⁻¹³

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, use the decay formula   A=A_oe^{kt}   where

  • A is the final amount (amount left)
  • A₀ is the initial amount (amount you started with)
  • k is the rate of decay (you need to solve for this)
  • t is the time

Given:

  • A = 1/2(300) = 150
  • A₀ = 300
  • k = unknown
  • t = 28.8

150=300e^{28.8k}\\\\0.5=e^{28.8k}\\\\ln(0.5)=ln(e^{28.8k})\\\\ln(0.5)=28.8k\\\\\\\dfrac{ln(0.5)}{28.8}=k\\\\\\\large\boxed{-0.0240676=k}\\

Next, input the k-value and the new t-value to solve for A.

  • A = unknown
  • A₀ = 300
  • k = -0.0240676
  • t = 1440

A=300e^{1440(-.0240676)}\\\\\large\boxed{A=2.66\times 10^{-13}}\\

value = mean price of computers from Store #1 * number of brands from store #1 + mean price of computers from store #2 * number of brands from store #2

value =  $799.99 * 2 +  $679.99 * 4 = $4,319.94

number of brands = 2 + 4 = 6

weighted average = $4,319.94 / 6 = $ 719.99

How many oz of walnuts which cost $6/oz must be added to 2 oz of peanuts which cost $12/oz to make mixed nuts which cost $8/oz
Burka [1]

Answer:  4 oz

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Create a table.  Multiply across and add down (the middle column cannot be added).  The Mixture line creates the equation that must be solved.

Let x represent the unknown quantity of walnuts.

\begin{array}{c|c|c||c}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{Cost}&\underline{Qty \times Cost}\\Walnuts&x&6&6x\\\underline{Peanuts}&\underline{\qquad 2\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 12\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 24\qquad }\\Mixture&x+2&8&6x+24\end{array}

.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (x+2)(8) = 6x+24\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 8x + 16 = 6x + 24\longrightarrow \text{distributed}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad2x+16=24\qquad \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 6x}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2x=8\qquad \qquad \ \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 16}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad x=4\qquad \qquad \quad \longrightarrow \text{divided by 2}
