The answer should be A. In order to solve these half-life problems, I encourage you to find an algebra calculator online, and plug in these numbers. The remaining grams goes in front, so 3.


The entire equation should look something like 3 = 15(1/2)^t/4.95


The 4.95 represents how long it takes before the sample halves, t is your answer, 1/2 represents the value halving every 4.95 hours, 15 is the initial sample size, and 3 is the end result that remains.


The overall answer should be about 11.5 hours, as per an algebra calculator.

Hope this helps solve any other similar problems

Please help me with this , it would mean alot​
algol [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21-26. a = v - u / t

=> a = 47 - 19 / 5

=> a = 28 / 5

=> a = 5.6 m/s²

27-32. avg. speed = distance / time

=> 40 m / 10 s

=> 4 m/s

33-38. velocity = distance / time

=> v = 150 / 40

=> v = 15 / 4

=> v = 3.75 m/s

Solve using quadratic formula<br> 6x^2-x=2
Nadya [2.5K]

6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}

x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}

hey can you help me w/ some math ?? i make $8.50 an hour. monday through sunday only wednesday’s off. how much will i have in 2
enot [183]

Answer:

$29252.1669

Approximately $29252.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For Monday,  Tuesday and Sunday:

=> 8.50 x 5 x 3

=> 8.5 x 15

=> 127.5

I multiplied 8.5 and 5 because you work for 5 hours. Then multiplied them with 3 it is for 3 days.

For Friday, Saturday, Thursday:

=> 8.5 x 6 x 3

=> 8.5 x 18

=> 153

I multiplied 8.5 and 6 because you work for 6 hours. Then multiplied them with 3 because it is for 3 days.

In 1 week you get:

=> 153 + 127.5

=> 280.5

In 1 year there are 52.1429 weeks.

So, you get:

=> 52.1429 x 280.5

=> 14626.08345

For 2 years, you get:

=> 14626.08345x 2

=>  29252.1669

=> Approximately $29252.1
