The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons the atom has.

So, we can write the equation as:

x + 20 = 40

x = 20 neutrons.

Calcium's atomic number is 20, which means all calcium atoms have 20 protons in their nuclei. However, the number of neutrons in the nuclei of the calcium atoms can vary.

Hope this helps a little.

True or false: homologous chromosomes separate during mitosis?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes do not function the same in mitosis as they do in meiosis. Prior to every single mitotic division a cell undergoes, the chromosomes in the parent cell replicate themselves. The homologous chromosomes within the cell will ordinarily not pair up and undergo genetic recombination with each other.

Graph y = -2x +3 and its inverse.
Gnesinka [82]
The graph of y = -2x + 3 is a straight line

Its slope is - 2

Its y-intercept is + 3

To draw the line you can use these two points (0,3) and (3/2 , 0)

This line does ont pass through the third quadrant. It comes downward from the second quadrant, touches the y-axis at y =3, continues on the rirst quadrant, touches the x-axis at x = 3/2, and contiues into the fourth quadrant.


Graph of its inverse

Exchange y and x in the given function and solve for the new y

x = - 2y + 3 => y = - x/2 + 3/2

It is also a straight line;
Its slope is -1/2
Its y-intercept is 3/2

It is also in the second, first and fourth quadrant

Use these two points to draw the line (0,3/2) and (3,0).

You do not need to know to draw this, but the inverse of a function is its reflection through the line y =x.
