Answer:

3.5 pounds of nuts; 6.5 pounds of M&Ms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of pounds of M&Ms to use. Then 10-m is the number of pounds of nuts, and the cost of the mix is ...

6·m + 3·(10-m) = 4.95·10 . . . . . cost = cost per pound times pounds

3m +30 = 49.5 . . . . . . simplify

3m = 19.5 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

m = 6.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then 10-m = 10-6.5 = 3.5.

The manager should use 3.5 pounds of nuts and 6.5 pounds of M&Ms in the mix.

Cesium-137 has a half-life of about 30 years. A) Find the annual decay rate and round final result to 4 decimal places. B) Find

MrMuchimi

Answer:

0.0228
0.0231
100 years
0

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for the fraction remaining after x years can be written as ...

y = (1/2)^(x/30)

A) For x=1, the fraction remaining is ...

y = (1/2)^(1/30) ≈ 0.97716 = 1 - 0.0228

Of the original amount, 0.0228 decays each year.

B) The continuous decay rate is the natural log of the growth factor, so is ...

ln(0.97716) = -0.0231

The continuous decay rate is 0.0231 of the present amount (per year).

C) For y=.10 (1/10 of the original amount) we find x to be ...

.1 = .5^(x/30)

ln(.1) = (x/30)ln(.5) . . . . . take the natural log

30ln(0.1)/ln(0.5) = x ≈ 100 . . . years

It will take 100 years for a 10-gram sample to decay to 1 gram.

D) As x goes to infinity, y goes to zero.

_____

The relationship between growth rate and growth factor is ...

growth factor = 1 + growth rate

When the growth rate is negative, it is called a decay rate.

You have two parents, four grandparents, eight greatgrandparents, and so forth.

Leviafan [203]

A.
In the first generation we have 2 ancestors.
In the second generation we have 4 ancestors or $2^{2}$ ancestors.
In the third generation we have 8 ancestors ot $2^{3}$ ancestors.

We can see that each succesive generation has two times more members. The sum is:
$2+4+8+16+...+ 2^{40}$

To calculate number of ancestors we can use formula for the sum of a geometric sequence. Geometric sequence is sequence of numbers that differ by a certain factor. This factor is called ratio. Formula is:
 $S= a_{1} * \frac{1- r^{n} }{1-r}$
Where:
S -> sum
a1 -> first member of a sequence
r -> ratio
n -> number of elements

For this question:
a1 = 2
r = 2
n = 40
 $S= 2* \frac{1- 2^{40} }{1-2} =2 199 023 255 550$

b.
1 generation = 25 years
40 generations = 40 * 25 = 1000 years

c.
Total number of people who have ever lived = $10^{10}$
Number of ancestors in 40 generations = $2.2*10^{12}$

The number of ancestors is greater than total number of people who have ever lived. This means that not all ancestors were distinct and that in each generation both men and women had children with more than one partner.

Verify that (a+b)+c = a+ (b+c) by taking a = -8 , b = (-8/11) , c = (-8/12)

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-8+-\frac{8}{11} ) + (-\frac{8}{12}) = -\frac{96}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3}) = -\frac{288 + 22}{33}) = -\frac{310}{33}\\ (-8) + (-\frac{8}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3})) = (-8) + (-\frac{46}{33})= -\frac{310}{33}$

Joe needs to read 4 novels each month.

marusya05 [52]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

N = 4M
44

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe reads 4 novels each month, the number of novels read will be 4 times the number of months that have passed.

N = 4M

When M=11, we have ...

N = 4×11 = 44

Joe needs to read 44 novels in 11 months.
