A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 2% per 100 years. if t represents time in years and y represents the amount of

the isotope left then the equation for the situation is y=y0e-0.0002t . in how many years will there be 89% of the isotope left? round to the nearest year.

We rewrite the equation:
 y = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 In this equation:
 I = represents the initial amount of the isotope
 We have then:
 89% of the isotope left:
 0.89 * y0 = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 We clear the time:
 e ^ (- 0.0002 * t) = 0.89
 Ln (e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)) = Ln (0.89)
 -0.0002 * t = Ln (0.89)
 t = Ln (0.89) / (- 0.0002)
 t = 582.6690813
 round to the nearest year:
 t = 583 years
 Answer:
 
There will be 89% of the isotope left in about:
 
t = 583 years

What is the measure of angle A?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = 19.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hypotenuse

sin A = 2/6

Take the inverse sin of each side

sin ^-1 ( sin A) = sin ^-1 (2/6)

A =19.47122063

To the nearest hundredth

A = 19.47

What is the slope of y-4=5/2(x-2)
OLEGan [10]
The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.

The cost of renting a moving van for a 26 mile trip is $62.50. the cost of renting the same van for a 38 mile trip is $65.50 The
Darya [45]
The difference between the 26 mile trip and 38 mile trip is 12 miles.
The difference in the price is $3.00   ($65.50 - $62.50)

So those 12 miles cost $3.00     $3.00÷12 = $.25 per mile

We can use either given trip to solve.  I will use the 38  mile trip.
The difference between 38 miles and 54 miles is 16 miles.   At $.25 a mile those 16 miles will add $4.00 to the price.  ($.25 x 16 = $4.00)
Since the 38 mile trip costs $65.50 we add $4.00 and get $69.50 for a 54 mile trip.
