Answer:
The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.
The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equation of decay:
The exponential equation for the amount of a substance is given by:
In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
Hourly rate of change:
Decreases 26% by day. A day has 24 hours. This means that ; We use this to find r.
The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.
Starts out with 810 grams of Element X
This means that
Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day.
This means that we use, for this equation, r = 0.26.
The equation is:
The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is
Answer: Choice D
b greater-than 3 and StartFraction 2 over 15 EndFraction
In other words,
b > 3 & 2/15
or
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's convert the mixed number 2 & 3/5 into an improper fraction.
We'll use the rule
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
In this case, a = 2, b = 3, c = 5
So,
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
2 & 3/5 = (2*5 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = (10 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = 13/5
The inequality is the same as
---------------------
Let's multiply both sides by 15 to clear out the fractions
---------------------
Now isolate the variable b
Side note: Another way to go from 47/15 to 3 & 2/15 is to notice how
47/15 = 3 remainder 2
The 3 is the whole part while 2 helps form the fractional part. The denominator stays at 15 the whole time.
