Dr. Steve is working with a new radioactive substance in his lab. He currently has 64 grams of the substance and knows that it d

ecays at a rate of 25% every hour.
Identify whether this situation represents exponential growth or decay. Then determine the rate of growth or decay, r, and identify the initial amount, A.

Answer:

This situation models exponential decay because the substance decays with time.

The radioactive substance decays at the rate of :  25%

 r=25/100 =0.25

The initial amount of substance is 64  grams. So, . A=64

Remember that the general decay equation is:
y=A(1-r)^{x}
where 
y is the amount after a time x
A is the initial amount 
r is the the decay percent in decimal form

The first ting we are going to do is find r by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>r= \frac{25}{100} =0.25.
We also know from our problem that y=64. Lets replace y and r in our formula:
64=A(1-0.25)^{x}
64=A(0.75)^{x}
We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that this situation represents exponential decay.

Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for A:
64=A(0.75)^{x}
A= \frac{64}{0.75 ^{x} }
Notice that A will depend on the number of ours x. <span />

Answer:

1. 2       2. 1       3.(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=_x+3

plug y in by choosing a number in the y column.

1=_x+3

1=(2)(-1)+3

1=1

Part 2.

do the same

5=3(2)

5=6-1

PLS HELP THANK UUU!!!

Answer:

47.45754235

Hey do you need to show your work for these? I found an answer key

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use law of cosines

c²=a²+b²-2abcos(C)

let x= angle xzy

plugging in what we have the equation looks like

17²=22²+20²-2*22*20*cos(x)

289=484+400-880cos(x)

.676136364=cos(x)

x=47.45754235

b.)

The smallest angle should be opposite to the smallest side

Using the law of cosines again we get

9²=13²+17²-2*13*17*cos(x)

81=458-442cos(x)

.852941176=cos(x)

x=31.46697634

What is the equation for the line?
Furkat [3]
HOW TO:
* use slope intercept form

1) find the slope

      slope = rise/run (rise divided by the run)
      slope = -4/2
      slope = -2

2) find the y-intercept (just the point where the line intersects the y-axis)

        y-intercept is (0,-4)

3) use slope-intercept form:
      y = mx + b  (m stands for the slope, b stands for the y-intercept)
      y= -2x + (-4)
      y= -2x - 4


So your equation is y= -2x-4
