Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for

carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.

100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t

Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put S200 away initially and save $10 ever
BigorU [14]
The equation for the first option is Y=10x + 200
The equation for the second option is Y=30x + 100

X = one month
To find when they would be the same about you have to set the equations equal to each other

10x + 200 = 30x + 100
-10x -100 -10x -100

100= 20x

5 = x

After five months she would save the same amount. To find how much is saved you have to plug in 5 for x in one of the equations. You can always double-check 5 by plugging it in both equations and making sure you get the same answer

Y= 10(5) + 200 = 250

Y= 30(5) + 100 = 250

She would have saved $250 after five months by using either method

Consider the following equations: f(x) = 2x – 2 and g(x) = 5 - x
zysi [14]

Answer:

The difference in slopes of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = 3

We can say slope of f(x) is positive  and 3 more than slope of g(x) while slope of g(x)  is negative.

Difference of y-intercepts of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = -7

We can say the y-intercept of g(x) is positive and 7 units above f(x) while y-intercept of f(x)  is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

f(x) =2x - 2

g(x) =5-x

We need to find the difference of slopes and y-intercepts of the given equations.

The standard form of a slope intercept equation of line is given by:

y=mx+b

where m represents slope and b represents y-intercept of line.

Writing the given equations in standard form to find slope and y-intercept.

f(x) =2x +(-2)

Slope = 2 and y-intercept =-2

g(x) =(-1)x+5

Slope = -1 and y-intercept =5

The difference in slopes of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = 2-(-1)=2+1=3

We can say slope of f(x) is positive  and 3 more than slope of g(x) while slope of g(x)  is negative.

Difference of y-intercepts of f(x)\ and\ g(x) is = -2-5=-7

We can say the y-intercept of g(x) is positive and 7 units above f(x) while y-intercept of f(x)  is negative.

The fish population in a local stream is decreasing at a rate of 4% per year. The original population was 55,000 fish. What is t
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: 38090 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation 55,000(.96)^9. Start with the initial number in this case it is 55,000 then multiply by the percentage that remains (100% - 4% = 96%) and then put it to the ninth power because that is how many years the problem is asking for.
