Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The equation relating A to the amount left of an initial amount Upper A 0 after time t is

A(t) = A0e^(kt)

b) It is found that 18 lb of A will reduce to 9 lb in 4.2 hr. It means that

A0 = 18

A = 9

t = 4.2

Therefore, substituting into the formula, it becomes

9 = 18e^(4.2k)

9/18 = e^(4.2k)

0.5 = e^(4.2k)

Taking ln of both sides of the equation, it becomes

Ln0.5 = ln e^(4.2k)

- 0.693 = 4.2k

k = - 0.693/4.2

k = - 0.165

The equation becomes

A(t) = 18e^(- 0.165t)

For A = 1(1 lb left), then

1 = 18e^(- 0.165t)

1/18 = e^(- 0.165t)

0.056 = e^(- 0.165t)

Taking ln of both sides, it becomes

Ln0.056 = ln e^(- 0.165t)

- 2.88 = - 0.165t

t = - 2.88/-0.165

t = 17.5 hours

After 17.5 hours, 1 lb would be left

Answer: 1.05 • 103.1 - 2.06

Step-by-step explanation:

to simplify get rid of the parenthesis. to simplify further you could subtract 1.05 and -2.06 and make the equation -1.01 • 103.1

What is the equation of the line that passes through (0, -2) and has a slope of 0? NEED HELP ASAP!!
Molodets [167]
The equation is y= -2.
How? If you recall, a linear equation is y= mx+b. The m is the slope (growth) and b is the y-intercept ( where the line crosses the y-axis).

Now since there is no slope or m, the equation would look like this:
y= b or y= 0+b

Next, you want to input the coordinator points (0, -2) into the equation. reminder: (x, y) = x=0 y= -2

y= 0+ -2
y= -2

And there you go! The equation is y= -2. I hope I help you in solving this problem, if not message me, because I'll be glad to help you.

I need help pls <br> What is angle 3
N76 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 6 + 3x + 21 = 8x + 7

7x + 27 = 8x + 7

-x + 27 = 7

-x = -20

x = 20

m<3= 8(20) + 7

         160 + 7 = 167

m<1= 4(20) + 6 = 80 + 6 = 86

m<2= 3(20) + 21 = 60 + 21 = 81
