Answer:

t= 24.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here A(t) is the amount of the element that remains after some time. So they tell us that find the time it takes to basically have 4 grams remaining so A(t) = 4

4 = 10 * 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

0.4= 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

t= 24.75 days

Answer should make sense because half life is around 18 days which means to go from 10 g to 5g would be somewhere around 18 days but we are going to 4 g so it takes more days

The team ran
juin [17]

The team ran 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The track is \frac{3}{4} miles long and the team ran 2\frac{2}{3} laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.

Step 2; We convert 2\frac{2}{3} from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2\frac{2}{3} = ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 = \frac{8}{3}.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap = \frac{8}{3} × \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 miles.

State if the two triangles are congruent. if they are state how you know.
nlexa [21]
1) The triangles are congruent by SSS.

The two tick marks indicate two pairs of congruent sides; it is evident that the third side is congruent by the way the diagram is drawn - the bases of the triangles are together and appear to be the same length.

2) The triangles are congruent by SAS.

The two pairs of tick marks indicate congruent sides, and their included angles are congruent because they are vertical angles, and vertical angles are always congruent.
