Answer:

\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}

Answer:

Given all right triangles

<u>Use Pythagorean to find the missing side:</u>

  • a² + b² = c², where c- hypotenuse

=1=

  • x² = 6² + 3² = 45
  • x = √45
  • x = 6.7

=2=

  • x² = 12² + 5² = 169
  • x = √169
  • x = 13

=3=

  • x² = 2² + 5² = 29
  • x = √29
  • x = 5.4

A company is planning to set up a new manufacturing plant for giant inflatable beach balls and believe the costs follow a linear
Jet001 [13]

The cost(y) of producing x number of balls is given by the linear model y = 3.25x + 685000

Linear equation

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the cost of producing x number of beach balls.

Using the point (10000, 587500) and (50000, 717500):

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-717500=\frac{717500-587500}{50000-10000} (x-10000)\\\\y=3.25x+685000

The cost(y) of producing x number of balls is given by the linear model y = 3.25x + 685000
