Answer:

20% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, you can divide the increase value by the original: 30/25 = 1.2 --> 120%. Next, since they ask for the percent of increase, you can subtract 1 or 100% from your answer which would give you a final answer of 20% increase.

The radioactive isotope radium has a half-life of 1,600 years. The mass of a 100-gram sample of radium will be______ grams after

Olenka [21]

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. Sarah is planning to fence in her backyard garden. One side of the garden is 34 feet long, another side is 30 feet long, and

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

131ft is the amount of fencing material needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the distance around a shape: we have to sum all the distances

P = d1 + d2 + d3

P = 34 ft + 30 ft + 67 ft = 131 ft

At the start of the recovery period, the waterbuck population contained only 140 individuals. The population had 0.67 births per

Sergio [31]

Answer:

the intrinsic growth rate of the population = 0.67 - 0.06 = 0.61 or 61%

Step-by-step explanation:

since populations increase exponentially, the same will happen here

in 5 years the population should be:

P₅ = P₀e°⁶¹ˣ⁵ = 140e°⁶¹ˣ⁵ = 2,956.15 ≈ 2,956

in 10 years the population will be:

P₁₀ = P₀e°⁶¹ˣ¹⁰ = 140e°⁶¹ˣ¹⁰ = 62,420.09 ≈ 62,420

when you are using exponential growth rates, we have to assume that r will always remain constant
