Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
First notice that the triangle with sides
and the triangle with sides
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides
in the smaller triangle is clearly
, while the angle between sides
in the larger triangle is clearly
. So the triangles are similar with sides
corresponding to
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is
, then the length of the longer leg is
and the hypotenuse has length
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that
, so
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:first you subtract 3 and 1/5 and you'll get 2 4/5 then make that an improper fraction which will be 14/5 and then flip your 7/5 and multiply both sides by it so your 7/5 will be multiplied by 5/7 and they will cancel out the you take 14/5 and multiply it by 5/7 and you'll get y=2
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
.................................
So,1 3/4 x 2 = 1 6/8
1 6/8 + 2 3/8 = 4 1/8
And now 4 1/8 + 5 7/8 = 10
I hope this helps
