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

-4(2x-3)>-28 please i need this result
Len [333]

-4 (2x - 3) > -28

Divide by -4 on both sides. Since we're dividing by a negative, we need to switch the sign.

2x - 3 < 7

Add 3 to both sides

2x < 10

Divide by 2 on both sides

x < 5
