Answer:

The rate of decrease is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The general equation for the radioactive decay can be written as:

a=a_0(1-r)^t

where

a is the amount in kilograms after time t.

a_0 is the original amount of the substance or y-intercept of the function

r is the decay rate, written in decimals.

t is the time

In this problem we have

a=0.65(0.92)^t

so

a_0=0.65\\(1-r)=0.92

solve for r

r=1-0.92=0.08

Convert to percentage

0.08(100)=8\%

What is the volume of the water contained in the cylinder?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Vf = 118.365 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

Vcil = Pi*[(20)^2]*(100=

Vcil = 125.600 m3

Vesf = (4/3)*Pi*(12)^3

Vesf = 7235 m3

Then

Vf = Vci - Vesf

Vf = 125.600 - 7235

Vf = 118365 m3

The present value of an ordinary annuity of​ $350 each year for five​ years, assuming an opportunity cost of 4​ percent, is​ ___
liubo4ka [24]
We can calculate it by PVOA table.
PVOA means present value of an ordinary annuity.
PMT = $350
PMT means recurring payment.
time = 5 years and interest rate is 4%
So n = 5 and i = 4%
So we can calculate PVOA as

PVOA = PMT times (PVOA factor for n = 5 and i = 4%)
             = 350 * (4.452) (PVOA factor PVOA table)
             = 1558.2
So present value is $1558.2
