Step-by-step explanation:
so, that means we want to find the time t (days) after which N = No/2
because "half-life" means the amount of time until half of the substance has disappeared (or transformed into something else).
so, we have
No/2 = No × e^(-0.1481×t)
No = 2× No × e^(-0.1481×t)
1 = 2×e^(‐0.1481×t)
1/2 = 0.5 = e^(-0.1481×t)
ln(0.5) = -0.1481×t
t = ln(0.5)/-0.1481 = 4.680264555... ≈ 4.7 days
Answer:
D.) 1/5
Explanation:
Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of successes to the number of trials.
In this case, success is a bulls-eye. Tim had 10 bulls-eyes. The total number of trials is 50. This makes the experimental probability 10/50, or 1/5.
<span>If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = (x - 3)/2,
what is the value of f[g(-5)]?
f[g(-5)] means substitute -5 for x in the right side of g(x),
simplify, then substitute what you get for x in the right
side of f(x), then simplify.
It's a "double substitution".
To find f[g(-5)], work it from the inside out.
In f[g(-5)], do only the inside part first.
In this case the inside part if the red part g(-5)
g(-5) means to substitute -5 for x in
g(x) = (x - 3)/2
So we take out the x's and we have
g( ) = ( - 3)/2
Now we put -5's where we took out the x's, and we now
have
g(-5) = (-5 - 3)/2
Then we simplify:
g(-5) = (-8)/2
g(-5) = -4
Now we have the g(-5)]
f[g(-5)]
means to substitute g(-5) for x in
f[x] = 2x + 3
So we take out the x's and we have
f[ ] = 2[ ] + 3
Now we put g(-5)'s where we took out the x's, and we
now have
f[g(-5)] = 2[g(-5)] + 3
But we have now found that g(-5) = -4, we can put
that in place of the g(-5)'s and we get
f[g(-5)] = f[-4]
But then
f(-4) means to substitute -4 for x in
f(x) = 2x + 3
so
f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3
then we simplify
f(-4) = -8 + 3
f(-4) = -5
So
f[g(-5)] = f(-4) = -5</span>
The like terms: 5x^3 and x^3
