Answer:
5.1 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question,
initial amount of substance = 34 grams
k-value = 0.137
To find the half life of this substance we will use following formula
here N(0) is initial amount of substance
t is time in days
Plug values in the formula
1/2 = e^{-0.137t}
Take logarithm on both sides
ln(1/2) = ln( e^{-0.137t})
ln(1/2) = -0.137t
t = ln(1/2) / -0.137
t = 5.059
t ≈ 5.1 days (nearest to tenths)
Answer:
∠RST = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.
∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST
__
78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above
54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12
108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units
The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.
