Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1: 1200g / 2¹ = 600g

Day 2: 1200g / 2² = 300g

Day 3: 1200g / 2³ = 150g

The pattern is the amount of radioactive substance on day n is 1200 / (2^n).

Therefore, we have to find n where 2^n > 1200.

The first such n is 11 (2¹¹ = 2048).

Hence, there will be less than 1 gram on day 11.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x-y>1?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Any points in the shaded region including (2,-2) and (-3,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the line into slope intercept form and graph it.

2x-y > 1 becomes -y>1-2x. Divide both sides by -1 and you get y<2x-1. Graph it with the shaded area on the right and a dashed line.

Any point which falls within the shaded red of the graph is a solution. No points on the line since it is not equal to (its dashed) are solutions. Check the location of your points to verify that they fall within this area.

(-3, -8)  ---Yes

(-1, -3)  ---No

(0, 5)  --- No

(1, 6)  --- No

(2, -2) ---Yes

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180.
anastassius [24]
True.

two angles would be complementary if the sum of their angle measures is 90 degrees.

60 degrees and 30 degrees make a complementary angle while 90 and 90 degrees make a supplementary angle.
