It has to be solved first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parentheses has to be solved first according to the BODMAS Principle which is Brackets Open Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction
If this is not followed, the answers will be different and will not get the right answer.

It is the same as PEDMAS which is Parenthesis Exponents Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction

A wall with a height of 20 feet is braced with a support post that forms a 30 degree angle with the top of the wall. What is the

dexar [7]

The length of the support post is 40 ft.

Solution:

Given, the height of the wall is 20 ft; support post forms 30 degree

Refer the attached image

Let us name the triangle as ABC where AB is the wall (opposite side) of 20 ft and $\angle A$ is 30 degree ( $\theta$ ) and AC is the length of the post.

To find: The length of the post (AC)

we know the formula, $sin\theta=\frac{opp}{hyp}$ (trigonometric formula)

On substituting the values we get,

$\Rightarrow sin(30^{\circ})=\frac{20}{AC}$

The value of sin 30 degree is 0.5

$\Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{20}{AC}\rightarrow AC=\frac{20}{0.5}\rightarrow AC=40 ft$

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate paramet

asambeis [7]

Answer:

t = 1.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Model

The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.

The model can be expressed as

$M=M_oe^{kt}$

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.

The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming $k=-0.2$
