2/3 x -4 = -2       add 4 to both sides

2/3 x -4 +4 = -2 +4

2/3 x = 2  

mutliply both sides by 3/2

(3/2) * (2/3) x = (3/2) * 2

x =3

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 59% every day. If an experiment starts out with 390 grams of
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The function that represents the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 390(0.41)^t.

The percentage rate of change per hour is of -2.46%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential amount of decay:

The exponential amount of decay for an amount of a substance after t days is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

In which A(0) is the initial amount, and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 59% every day. The experiments starts out with 390 grams of Element X.

This means, respectively, that r = 0.59, A(0) = 390

So

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

A(t) = 390(1-0.59)^t

A(t) = 390(0.41)^t

The function that represents the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 390(0.41)^t.

Hourly rate of change:

Decreases by 59% every day, which means that for 24 hours, the rate of change is of -59%. So

-59%/24 = -2.46%

The percentage rate of change per hour is of -2.46%.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis and passes through (3,-2)
34kurt

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that if we have an original line and we are finding the perpendicular we know that the slope of the second line is gonna be the negative reciprocal of the first line and given that we know it must be  perpendicular to the original line it will be heading downwards on the y axis with no slope so instead of y equals it will be x equals and we know that our x value of the point given is three so the answer is x = 3

Use the distributive property to expand -4 (-2/5 + 3 x). Which is an equivalent expression?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

8/5-12x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, you simply need to multiply each of the terms inside of the parenthesis by -4. This will give you:

=-4(\frac{-2}{5})-4(3x)

=8/5-12x. This is your answer!
