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

On Martin's first stroke, his golf ball traveled \dfrac45 5 4 ​ start fraction, 4, divided by, 5, end fraction of the distance t
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: 0.395 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Martin distance from the hole be X

On first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole. That is 4/5 X

On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 meters and went into the hole

Total distance covered will be

X = 79 + 4/5X

X - 4/5X = 79

X - 0.8X = 79

0.2X = 79

X = 79/0.2 = 395 meters

How many kilometers from the hole was Martin when he started

X = 395/1000 = 0.395 km

Make a number line and mark the points that represent the following values of x. 10∙x=0
djyliett [7]

The point on a number line is the location of the point.

<h3>How to draw the number line</h3>

The points are given as:

x = 10 and x = 0

This means that we mark a point at the point 10 on the number line, and another point at the point 0 on the same number line

However, the point 0 would come before point 10 because 0 is less than 10

See attachment for the number line
