Answer:

2.97 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Tungsten, W-181 is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 121 days.

We will use half-life formula to solve our given problem.

A=a\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}, where,

A = Final amount.

a = Initial amount,

t = Time,

h = Half life.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

A=24\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{365}{121}}

A=24\cdot 0.1235760503818562

A=2.9658252091\approx 2.97

Therefore, 2.97 kg of W-181 will be left after 1 year.

3 kg because one year is approximately 3 half-lives of W-181. The amount remaining would be 1/23<span> or 1/8. That is 3 kg of W-181.</span>

Let line A be the graph of 5x + 8y = -9. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point (10,10). If line B is th
frozen [14]
Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b

<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8

The slope of line A is -5/8.

If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then

slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5

So like B has the equation

y = (8/5)x + b

If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6

So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6

m = 8/5 and b = -6

so

m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5

So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

What is the value of sin 0 given that (3-4) is a point on the terminal side of 0
Effectus [21]

Using trigonometric relations, we will see that:

sin(θ ) = -0.8

<h3>How to get the sine of the angle?</h3>

For any point (x, y), the angle between the positive x-axis and the ray that connects the origin with the point (x, y) is:

θ = Atan(y/x)

In this case, the point is (3, -4), then the angle is:

θ = Atan(-4/3) = -53.13°

Then the sine of theta is:

sin(θ  = -53.13°) = -0.8

Factorize:<br>(2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

3(a - b)(a + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize: (2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​

  • Different of Perfect a Square rule: a²​ - b²​ = (a + b)(a - b)

(2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²​ = [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] × [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)]

1. Distribute and Simplify:

Distribute the (+) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] → 2a - b + a - 2b → (3a - 3b)

Distribute the (-) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)] → 2a - b – a + 2b → (a + b)

We now have:

(3a - 3b)(a + b)

2. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (3) from 3a - 3b:

(3a - 3b) → 3(a - b)

3. Add "(a + b)" back into your factored expression:

3(a - b)(a + b)

Hope this helps!

A package contains 12 resistors, 3 of which are defective. If 4 are selected, find the probability of getting
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Incomplete question, but I gave a primer on the hypergeometric distribution, which is used to solve this question, so just the formula has to be applied to find the desired probabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resistors are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

12 resistors, which means that N = 12

3 defective, which means that k = 3

4 are selected, which means that n = 4

To find an specific probability, that is, of x defectives:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = x) = h(x,12,4,3) = \frac{C_{3,x}*C_{9,4-x}}{C_{12,4}}

C because if the line Q is 1,5 and 1,8, it would have to be a vertical line, as the X axis doesn’t change. As i know, a vertical line always has a slope of 0, and a horizontal line (which the x-axis is) always has an undefined slope.
