Let x be the distance it runs on the first day, then:-

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 54

3x + 6 = 54

3x = 54 - 6 = 48

x = 48/3 = 16 km

So for the first 2 days it runs 16 + 18 = 34 km. Answer

Answer

34 Km

Explanation

Assuming that the dog ran x Km the first day,

1st day = x km

2nd day = (x+2)

3rd day = (x+2)+2 = (x+4) Km

So we have,

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 54

3x + 6 =54

3x = 54-6

3x = 48

x = 16 Km.

∴

1st day = 16 Km

2nd day = 16 + 2 = 18

Total distance for the first 2 days = 16 + 18 = 34 Km

2.The number of grams A of a certain radioactive substance present at time, in yearsfrom the present, t is given by the formulaA

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Given that,

The number of grams A of a certain radioactive substance present at time, in years

from the present, t is given by the formula

$A=45e^{-0.0045(t)}$

a) To find the initial amount of this substance

At t=0, we get

$A=45e^{-0.0045(0)}$ $A=45e^0$

We know that e^0=1 ( anything to the power zero is 1)

we get,

$A=45$

The initial amount of the substance is 45 grams

b)To find thehalf-life of this substance

To find t when the substance becames half the amount.

A=45/2

Substitute this we get,

$\frac{45}{2}=45e^{-0.0045(t)}$

$\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.0045(t)}$

Taking natural logarithm on both sides we get,

$\ln (\frac{1}{2})=-0.0045(t)^{}$ $(-1)\ln (\frac{1}{2})=0.0045(t)$ $\ln (\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=0.0045(t)$ $\ln (2)=0.0045(t)$ $0.6931=0.0045(t)$ $t=\frac{0.6931}{0.0045}$ $t=154.02$

Half-life of this substance is 154.02

c) To find the amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years

Put t=2500

we get,

$A=45e^{-0.0045(2500)}$ $A=45e^{-11.25}$ $A=45\times0.000013=0.000585$ $A=0.000585$

The amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years is 0.000585 grams
