Answer:  693 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

A(t) =A_0e^{kt}

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decomposition = 1

A_0 = Initial amount of the reactant

A_t = amount of the reactant left =A_0-\frac{0.1}{100}\times A_0=0.999A_0

0.999A_0=A_0e^{k\times 1}

0.999=e^k

k=-0.001year^{-1}

for half life : t=t_\frac{1}{2}

A_t=\frac{1}{2}A_o

Putting in the values , we get

\frac{1}{2}A_0=A_0e^{-0.001\times t_\frac{1}{2}

t_\frac{1}{2}=693 years

Thus half life of this isotope, to the nearest year is 693.

A painting contractor paints with a brush at a rate of 192 square feet per hour. using a paint sprayer, she is able to cover 576
lara31 [8.8K]

Hi there,

2400 + 1632 = 4032

3 * 192 = 576

4032 - 576 =>

3532 - 76 =>

3532 + 24 - 76 - 24

3556 - 100

3456


3456 / 576 => 6

Therefore, 6 hours of sprayer work

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (06.01 LC) Choose the correct classification of 5x + 2x2 − 8 by number of terms and b
Yakvenalex [24]

Question 7: Choose the correct simplification of the expression (3x − 6)(2x2 − 4x − 5)

Answer:

7. 6x³ - 12x² + 12x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x-6)(2x² - 4x - 5)

3x • 2x² = 6x³

3x • -4x = -12x²

3x • -5 = -15

-6 • 2x² = -12x²

-6 • -4x = 24x

-6 • -5 = 30

combine terms

6x³ - 12x² - 15 - 12x² + 24x + 30

combine like terms

6x³ - 24x² + 24x + 15

hope this helps :)

in the future, only ask one question per brainly submission. thanks!

|-3| is 3 because......


<u>Absolute Value:</u>

In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x for a positive x, |x| = −x for a negative x, and |0| = 0. For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 is also 3.
