Answer:

18.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the initial quantity is ...

(1/2)^(t/1690)

so, for t=250, this becomes ...

(1/2)^(250/1690) ≈ 0.902545

Then the quantity remaining of the initial 20 g is ...

(20 g)(0.902545) ≈ 18.05 g

Can some one solve this (squar roots)

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

2 $\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{a}$ × $\sqrt{b}$ ⇔ $\sqrt{ab}$

Simplifying the radicals

$\sqrt{96}$

= $\sqrt{16(6)}$

= $\sqrt{16}$ × $\sqrt{6}$ = 4 $\sqrt{6}$

$\sqrt{24}$

= $\sqrt{4(6)}$

= $\sqrt{4}$ × $\sqrt{6}$ = 2 $\sqrt{6}$

Thus

$\sqrt{96}$ + 2 $\sqrt{6}$ - 2 $\sqrt{24}$

= 4 $\sqrt{6}$ + 2 $\sqrt{6}$ - 4 $\sqrt{6}$ ← collect like terms

= 2 $\sqrt{6}$
