A toxic radioactive substance with a density of 2 milligrams per square centimeter is detected in the ventilating ducts of a nuc

lear processing building that was used 55 years ago. If the​ half- life of the substance is 20 ​years, what was the density of the substance when it was deposited 55 years​ ago?

Answer:

60.5 milligrams per square centimeter First, determine how many half lives have expired by dividing the time by the half-life. So: 55/20 = 2.75 That means that only 2^(-2.75) = 0.148650889 = 14.8650889% of the original substance remains. So just divide the amount remaining by 0.148650889 to get the original amount. 9 / 0.148650889 = 60.5445419 So originally, there was 60.5 milligrams per square centimeter 55 years ago.

If you have learned how to find the line of best fit manually, then you can do it that way. Perhaps you may want to just find a line that can connect at least two of the points and I believe that that line will be able to represent the other points because, in general, the points are pretty close to one another. 

If you don't want to do it manually and have a graphing calculator (which I recommend) then you can use that to find the line of best fit (and if you want then you can see how precise your points are with your r^2 value). Or there is a website (http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=4186), which you can use to help you to find the equation of that particular line. 

Once you have that done, then you can substitute 2009 for the x value in the equation and then see what y value the equation produces. That will then be your answer :)

If A is the subset of B, then A intersects B =B or A is a union B = B
vaieri [72.5K]
Answer: A union B = B


The first one should’ve said A intersects B = A because the entirety of A exists in B
