$50.00 after 0 months and $37.50 after 6 months.

We first must calculate half-life using the attached formula.

Half-Life = (time * ln(2)) / ln (beginning amount/ending amount)

Half-Life = (6 * 0.69314718056) / ln (50.00 / 37.50)

Half-Life = ( 4.1588830834 ) / ln ( 1.3333333333 )

Half-Life = ( 4.1588830834 ) / 0.28768207245

Half-Life = 14.456525038 months


Now we need to calculate "lambda"

lambda = ln(2) / half-life

lambda = 0.69314718056 / 14.456525038

lambda = 0.0479470121


Next we have to use this formula:

Ending Amount = beginning amount • e^( -lambda • time )

(where "e" is the mathematical constant 2.718281828...)

Ending Amount = 50 * 2.718281828^(-0.0479470121*24 months)

Ending Amount = 50 * 2.718281828^(-1.1507282904)

Ending Amount = 50 * 0.3164062499

Ending Amount = 15.82 dollars


**********************************************************************

As a DOUBLE-CHECK we can work this out every 6 months:


0 months $50

6 months = $50 - (50 *.25) = 37.50

12 months = $37.50 -(37.50 *.25) = 28.125

18 months = $28.125 -(28.125 * .25) = 21.09375

24 months = $21.09375 -(21.09375 * .25) = 15.8203125

1. A line goes through the points (4, 5) and (2, -6). Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Show your work for ful
Hitman42 [59]
1. Find Slope
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = -6 - 5/2-4
m = -11/-2
m = 11/2

2. Write equation with know information
y = mx + b
y = 11/2x + b


3. Choose any of the two points (doesn’t matter which in you choose) and replace the x and y value into the equation
y = 11/2x + b (4,5)
5 = 11/2(4) + b
5 = 22 + b

Use algebra and solve for b
5 - 22 = b
b = -17

State all the information you know
m = 11/2 b = -17

Write the equation
y = 11/2x - 17

If and , find .<br><br> A. <br> B. <br> C. <br> D.
trapecia [35]
Answer: option D. 2x^2 + (3/2)x  - 5

Explanation:

1) polynomials given:

 f(x) = x/2 - 2 and g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3

2) question: find (f + g) (x)

That means that f(x) + g(x), so you have to add up the two polynomials given.

3) x/2  - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3

4) Combine like terms:

a) terms with x^2: you only have 2x^2, so it is not combined with other term.

b) terms with x: x/2 + x

that is a sum of fractions: x/2 + x = [x + 2x] / 2 = 3x / 2 = (3/2)x

c) constant terms: - 2 + (-3) = - 2 - 3 = - 5

5) Result: 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5

That is the option d.
