If
is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year
, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

Let
be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

or simply

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

where
is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount
decays after 1 year, so that

Then after 50 years, we have

Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Let
be the number of mittens and
be the number of scarves. Then we have the inequalities:
<em>This says Nivyana and Ana cannot make more than 30 scarves</em>
<em>This says that</em> <em>Nivyana and Ana have to earn at least $1000.</em>
Part B:
The graph is attached.
Notice that the graphs of the inequalities are solid lines, this just means that the points on these lines included to the solutions of each inequality.
The darker shaded region and the solid lines bounding it, are the solutions to the inequalities because that's where the values common to both inequalities are found.
Part C:
From the graph we get two possible solutions:
15 scarves & 10 mittens
25 scarves & 5 mittens.
These two points lie on the solid lines that bound the darker shaded region<em> (I picked those points to stress that the lines bounding the dark region are also solutions.)</em>
The answer is 64.4 because you multiply 92 times 0.7 and get 64.4
Answer:
expression: (30/t) - 10
evaluation: 30/2 - 10 = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of 10 chips stacks that Dave can make if two stacks are not considered distinct is 110.
The solution
To get the symmetric stacks, one has to subtract the symmetric stacks to know the ones that are asymmetric.
The symmetric are flipped. Given that they are double counted what we have to do is to divide through by 2.
6/2 = 3
10/2 = 5
4/2 = 2
1/2(10C6) - (5C3) + (5C3)
0.5(210-10+10)
= 110
