The amount of a radioactive substance decreases by 10% every

Mathematics
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula,

y = ab^t

Where

a represents the initial amount of substance.

t represents the decay time.

From the information given

a = 100

t = 12 hours

Since after 12 hours, the amount of substance reduces by 0.1, then

y = 0.1 × 100 = 10

Therefore

10 = 100 × b^12

Dividing through by 100, it becomes

0.1 = b^12

Raising both sides of the equation by 1/12, it becomes

0.1^(1/12) = b^12/12

b = 0.8

The equation becomes

y = 100(0.8)^t

Where t = n, the expression becomes

y = 100(0.8)^n

Please help with the attached question. Thanks

Answer:

Choice A) F(x) = 3\sqrt{x + 1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

What are the changes that would bring G(x) to F(x)?

  • Translate G(x) to the left by 1 unit, and
  • Stretch G(x) vertically (by a factor greater than 1.)

G(x) = \sqrt{x}. The choices of F(x) listed here are related to G(x):

  • Choice A) F(x) = 3\;G(x+1);
  • Choice B) F(x) = 3\;G(x-1);
  • Choice C) F(x) = -3\;G(x+1);
  • Choice D) F(x) = -3\;G(x-1).

The expression in the braces (for example x as in G(x)) is the independent variable.

To shift a function on a cartesian plane to the left by a units, add a to its independent variable. Think about how (x-a), which is to the left of x, will yield the same function value.

Conversely, to shift a function on a cartesian plane to the right by a units, subtract a from its independent variable.

For example, G(x+1) is 1 unit to the left of G(x). Conversely, G(x-1) is 1 unit to the right of G(x). The new function is to the left of G(x). Meaning that F(x) should should add 1 to (rather than subtract 1 from) the independent variable of G(x). That rules out choice B) and D).

  • Multiplying a function by a number that is greater than one will stretch its graph vertically.
  • Multiplying a function by a number that is between zero and one will compress its graph vertically.
  • Multiplying a function by a number that is between -1 and zero will flip its graph about the x-axis. Doing so will also compress the graph vertically.
  • Multiplying a function by a number that is less than -1 will flip its graph about the x-axis. Doing so will also stretch the graph vertically.

The graph of G(x) is stretched vertically. However, similarly to the graph of this graph G(x), the graph of F(x) increases as x increases. In other words, the graph of G(x) isn't flipped about the x-axis. G(x) should have been multiplied by a number that is greater than one. That rules out choice C) and D).

Overall, only choice A) meets the requirements.

Since the plot in the question also came with a couple of gridlines, see if the points (x, y)'s that are on the graph of F(x) fit into the expression y = F(x) = 3\sqrt{x - 1}.

HELLP PLEASE IT DUE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
marissa [1.9K]
The answer is √3. This is because √3 is already an irrational number and if you multiply it but either -5/9 or add it by 4, the product or sum will not terminate, nor repeat, or is able to turn in to a fraction
