The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a

VMariaS [17]

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass (in mg) remaining after $t$ years, then $y(t) = y(0) e^{kt}=100e^{kt}.$

$y(30) = 100 e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2}(100) \implies e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2} \implies k = -(\ln 2) /30 \implies \\ \\
y(t) = 100e^{-(\ln 2)t/30} = 100 \cdot 2^{-t/30}$

(b) $y(100) = 100 \cdot 2^{-100/30} \approx \text{9.92 mg}$

(c)
$100 e^{- (\ln 2)t/30} = 1\ \implies\ -(\ln 2) t / 30 = \ln \frac{1}{100}\ \implies\ \\ \\
t = -30 \frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 2} \approx \text{199.3 years}$

The length of each side of a square was decreased by 2 inches so the perimeter is now 49 inches. What was the original length of

aleksley [76]

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square is given by:

Perimeter = 4 * side

Let x be the original length of each side of square

So

decreasing 2 inch will mean

$x-2$

Perimeter of square after reducing 2 inches from each side

$4(x-2) = 49\\4x-8 = 49\\4x = 49+8\\4x = 57\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{57}{4}\\x = 14.25$

So,

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

3/5 x 1/5+1/5 x 73/3

insens350 [35]

So,

3/5 x 1/5 = 3/25

3/25 + 1/5 = 8/25

8/25 x 73/3 = 7 59/75

I hope this helps

The ratio of the ages of two children is 2:3. If the younger child is 4 years old, how old is the other child?

vladimir1956 [14]

So if the ratio is 2:3, then the younger child would represent the 2. so it would be 2:3 is 4:x. Thereby, the answer would be 6, because of proportions. To check, simplify 4:6, and you would get 2:3.

The population of Earth is estimated to be 7.4 billion people, or 7,400,000,000. What is this number in scientific notation?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

7.4 x 10 to the 9th power

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of numbers, there is a decimal point. when writing in function notation, you bring the point to the left or to the right depending on if it is a negative or a positive number

in this problem, you are dealing with a positive number, so bring the decimal point to the left. count how many numbers it takes to get in between, in this number, 7 and 4. it takes 9 spaces to the left. now the decimal point has been moved, your number goes from 7,400,000,000 to 7.4 x 10 to the 9th power(7.4 x 10^9)
