Radioactive Decay Beginning with 16 grams of a radioactive element whose half -life is 30 years ,the mass y(in grams) remaining

after t years is given by
y=23(1/2)^t/45, t ≥ 0.

Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem. With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

What are the features of the parabola modeled by the equation f(x) = x2 - 114x ?

Answer:

Answers are in bold type

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = $x^{2} -144x$

The parabola opens up, so has a minimum at the vertex.

Let (h, k) be the vertex

h = -b/2a = - (-144)/2(1) = 57

k = 57^2 - 144(57) = 3249 - 6498 = -3249

Therefore, the vertex is (57, -3249)

The minimum value is -3249

The domain is the set of real numbers.

The range = {y | y ≥ -3249}

The function decreases when -∞ < x < 57 and increases when 57 > x > ∞

The x - intercepts: $x^{2} -144x$ = 0

x(x - 114x) = 0

x = 0 or x = 114

x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (0, 114)

When x = 0, then we get the y-intercept. So, 0^2 - 114(0) = 0

y-intercept is (0, 0)

Evaluate the integral using integration by parts with the indicated choices of u and dv. (Use C for the constant of integration.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{xe^{7x}}{7} + \frac{e^{7x}}{49}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the integral equation

$\int\limits{xe^{7x}} \, dx \\$

According to integration by part;

$\int\limits {u} \, dv = uv + \int\limits {v} \, du$

u = x, dv = e^7x

du/dx = 1

du = dx

$v = \int\limits {e^{7x}} \, dx \\v = e^7x/7$

Substitute the given values into the formula;

$\int\limits {xe^{7x}} \, dx = x(e^{7x}/7) + \int\limits ({e^{7x}/7}) \, dx\\\int\limits {xe^{7x}} \, dx = \frac{xe^{7x}}{7} + \frac{e^{7x}}{7*7} \\\int\limits {xe^{7x}} \, dx = \frac{xe^{7x}}{7} + \frac{e^{7x}}{49}$

Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. x 44 44 11 11 55 y 66 55 negative 1−1 negative 3−3 88 ModifyingA

Temka [501]

Answer:

$y=1.98 x -24.34$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following data

X: 44, 44, 11, 11, 55

Y: 66, 55, -1, -3, 88

We want to find a linear model $Y= mx +b$

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =44+44+11+11+55=165$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =66+55-1-3+88=205$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =7139$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =15135$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =10120$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=7139-\frac{165^2}{5}=1694$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=10120-\frac{165*205}{5}=3355$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{3355}{1694}=1.98$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{165}{5}=33$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{205}{5}=41$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=41-(1.98*33)=-24.34$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.98 x -24.34$
