To solve this we are going to use the half life equation N(t)=N_{0} e^{( \frac{-0.693t}{t _{1/2} }) }
Where:
N_{0} is the initial sample
t is the time in years
t_{1/2} is the half life of the substance
N(t) is the remainder quantity after t years 

From the problem we know that:
N_{0} =100
t=200
t_{1/2} =1600

Lets replace those values in our equation to find N(t):
N(200) =100e^{( \frac{(-0.693)(200)}{1600}) }
N(200)=100e^{( \frac{-138.6}{1600} )}
N(200)=100e^{-0.086625}
N(200)=91.7

We can conclude that after 1600 years of radioactive decay, the mass of the 100-gram sample will be 91.7 grams.

(10) Both red line and blue line trains left the station at 5:00 pm. If both
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

5:40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem involving the least common difference.

If you know that the red and blue trains left at the same time at 5, you know that another red train will leave at 5:08. Another blue train at 5:10.

The way to solve this will be to write out the factors of 8 and 10 and find the smallest number that they overlap.

Red:

8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

Blue:

10, 20, 30, 40

You see that after 40 mnutes, they are both leaving the station again. After 40 minutes, at 5:40, they are both leaving.

Find the exact value of sin G
ad-work [718]
We need to find the value of the hypotenuse in order to solve this problem.

12^2+4^2=H^2

Therefore:

H=√(144+16)

H=4√10

Now:

sin(G)=O/H=4/(4√10)

=1/(√10)

=(√10)/10
