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}}\\

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

x^2\left(\sqrt[4]{x^2}\right)

=====================================================

Explanation:

The fourth root of x is the same as x^(1/4)

I.e,

\sqrt[4]{x} = x^{1/4}

The same applies to x^10 as well

\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = \left(x^{10}\right)^{1/4}

Multiply the exponents 10 and 1/4 to get 10/4

\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = \left(x^{10}\right)^{1/4} = x^{10*1/4} = x^{10/4}

\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = x^{10/4}

-----------------------

If we have an expression in the form x^(m/n), with m > n, then we can simplify it into an equivalent form as shown below

x^{m/n} = x^a\sqrt[n]{x^b}

The 'a' and 'b' are found through dividing m/n

m/n = a remainder b

'a' is the quotient, b is the remainder

-----------------------

The general formula can easily be confusing, so let's replace m and n with the proper numbers. In this case, m = 10 and n = 4

m/n = 10/4 = 2 remainder 2

We have a = 2 and b = 2

So

x^{m/n} = x^a\sqrt[n]{x^b}

turns into

x^{10/4} = x^2\sqrt[4]{x^2}

which means

\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = {x^2} \sqrt[4]{x^2}
