The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half of its initial m

ass. Starting with 195 g of radioactive isotope how much will be left after five lives? round to the nearest gram

1st half life: 195/2 = 97.5 g
2nd half life: 97.5/2 = 48.75 g
3rd half life: 48.7/2 = 24.375 g
4th half life: 24.375/2 = 12.1875 g
5th half life: 12.1875/2 = 6.09375 g

or you can do
195(2)^(-5) = 6.09375
** rounded to nearest gram = 6 g

Determine the equation of the line passing through the points <br> (4,-1) and (-2,-4)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope:

m=\frac{-4-(-1)}{-2-4} =\frac{-4+1}{-6} =\frac{-3}{-6} =\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}

the equation:

with the point (4, -1)

y-(-1)=\frac{1}{2} (x-4)

y+1=\frac{1}{2}x-2

y=\frac{1}{2} x-2-1

y=\frac{1}{2} x-3

I hope this help you

A geometric sequence is shown below.
mestny [16]

Answer:

An explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

-\frac{1}{2},\:-2,\:-8,\:-32,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio, denoted by 'r', and is defined by

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

Determining the common ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=4,\:\quad \frac{-8}{-2}=4,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-8}=4

As the ratio is the same, so

r = 4

Given that f₁ = -1/2

substituting r = 4, and f₁ = -1/2 in the nth term

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

Thus, an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.
