a. We know the rates of change for both companies, as well as the starting values in 2013. So, to predict the values in 2022 we have to simulate the passing of 9 years. Company A loses 0.22 billions per years, so they will lose 0.22\cdot 9 = 1.98 billions in 9 years. So, we have

A_{2022} = 4.9 - 1.98 = 2.92

Similarly, company B will have

B_{2022} = 1.64 + 0.19\cdot 9 = 3.35

billion dollars in 2022.

b. This question is similar to the previous one, except this time we have to find the number of years necessary to reach a particular goal. We have

4.9 - 0.22x = 4.24

Solving for x, we have

x = \dfrac{4.9-4.24}{0.22} = \dfrac{0.66}{0.22} = 3

c. We know the behaviour of the two values, so the number of years will again be the unkown, and we set the two values to be the same:

4.9 - 0.22x = 1.64+0.19x

Solving for x, we have

4.9-1.64 = (0.22+0.19)x \iff 3.26 = 0.41x \iff x = \dfrac{3.26}{0.41} \approx 7.9

(4x-1) /2=x+7<br>4x-1 all over 2 = x +7​
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x-1}{2} = x + 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

4x - 1 = 2(x + 7) ← distribute

4x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{15}{2}

You have 88 grams of a radioactive kind of actinium. How much will be left after 44 years if its half-life is 22 years?
mash [69]

Answer:

22 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

loses 50% of it's mass per 22 years

so after 22 years the mass would be 44 grams

22 years later would leave 50% of 44 grams = 22 grams
