Choose the correct simplification of the expression (−2x + 4y)(3x − 7y).
Rudik [331]
-2x • 3x = -6x2 (the 2 is an exponent)
4y • -7y = -28y2 (the 2 is an exponent)
-2x • -7y = 14xy
4y • 3x = 12xy
14xy + 12xy = 26xy

—> -6x2(expo) - 28y2(expo) + 26xy

Check the answer again just to be sure, it’s been a while since I’ve had algebra!

Radium-226 has a half life of 1622 years. If you start off with a 200
sweet [91]

Answer:

≈23.6 kg left.

Step-by-step explanation:

For determining this, we can simply use an exponential decay equation representing this scenario:

y= a(0.5)^{\frac{t}{h} }

a: the initial amount

t: the amount of time

h: the half life

Now, substitute the numbers into the equation:

y=200(0.5)^{\frac{5000}{1622} }

Now, solve this equation:

y=220(0.5)^{3.08}

Use a calculator to solve for y:

y= 200(0.118)

y≈23.6 kg left.
