Answer:

3 grams will be left after 6 half-lives

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-live:

Time it takes for the substance to be reduced by hall.

After n half lives:

The amount remaing is:

A(n) = A(0)(0.5)^{n}

In which A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of half-lives.

Starting with 210 grams of a radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 6 half-lives?

This is A(6) when A(0) = 210. So

A(n) = A(0)(0.5)^{n}

A(6) = 210(0.5)^{6} = 3.3

Rounding to the nearest gram

3 grams will be left after 6 half-lives

Answer:

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

you should see how to get from one number to the next.

I noticed by multiplying an input by 2 then adding 3 I reach my output.

I would use this for each input to find that it would equal my output every time I used the rule

Solve the system of equations using matrices. x+7y=02x−8y=22 Question 7 (Mandatory) (1 point) Step 1. Find the coefficient matri
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

x=7

y =-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a system of equations in x and y as

x+7y=0\\2x-8y =22

This can be written in matrix form as

Ax = B

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&7\\2&-8\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right]  =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\22\end{array}\right]

Let us find inverse of A

|A| = -8-14 =-22

A^{-1} =\frac{-1}{22} *\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&-7\\-2&1\end{array}\right]

X= A ^(-1) B

x=7, y =-1

How do I find the sum and Express it in simplest form ? (3t^2+6t)+(-9t^2-5t+5)
Leona [35]

-6t²+t+6

1. Let's group terms like, after eliminating the parentheses.

(3t²+6t+1)+(-9t²-5t+5)

3t²+6t+1-9t²-5t+5

3t²-9t² +6t-5t +5+1

-6t²+t+6

This is the simplest and most convenient form since there' s already a coefficient 1 in term "t".

Solve the equation below. Indicate which solutions, if any, are extraneous.<br> √ x+5 = x+3
ahrayia [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphical solution can avoid extraneous solutions. The attachment shows the one solution is x = -1.

__

Squaring both sides gives ...

  x +5 = (x +3)² = x² +6x +9

Putting this in standard form, we have ...

  x² +5x +4 = 0

  (x +1)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . factor

  x = -1 or -4 . . . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

__

Since we require the root to be non-negative, we must have ...

  x +3 ≥ 0

  x ≥ -3

The only solution that satisfies this requirement is x = -1. The solution x = -4 is extraneous. The solution is x = -1.
