Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = .693147 / .00011
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 6,301 years

For a radioactive substance to decay to 25%, it has to go through 2 halflives.

2 * 6,301 = 12,602 years
approximately 12,600 years

g100num [7]

Answer:

y - Q = -5/2(x - P)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as y - y0 = m(x-x0)

(x0, y0) is the point

m is the slope

Given the equation

y = 2/5x− 4.

Slope m  = 2/5

Slope of the perpendicular line = -1/(2/5) = -5/2

Point;

x0 = P

y0 = Q

Substitute into the formula;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - Q = -5/2(x - P)

This gives the required equation

Which of the following equations below is a linear inequality?
Ket [755]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A <u>linear inequality</u> is an inequality which involves a linear function. A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality: <, >, ≤, ≥.

Consider all options:

A. The inequality \dfrac{y}{x}>3\cdot x+2 is not linear linear inequality, because x is in the left part denominator and in the right part numerator.

B. This option shows linear equation, not inequality.

C. This option shows quadratic equation, not linear inequality.

D. This option shows linear inequality y\le 5x-5

A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle and another regular hexagon is circumscribed about the same circle. What is the ratio
Anna007 [38]

4/3 of the area of the larger hexagon to the area of the smaller hexagon

Let the sides of the interior hexagon be 2 cm long, then this hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles of side = 2.

The area of this hexagon = 6 * 1 * sqrt3 = 6 sqrt3 ( as the triangle is made up of 2 60-30-90 triangles)

The exterior hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles with altitude 2 and the area = 6 * 2 * (2 / sqrt3 ) = 24 / sqrt3

area exterior hex / interior hex = 24 / sqrt3 * 1 / 6sqrt3 = 24/18

= 4/3

Required ratio = 4/3 answer
