Maya and Sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. The person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as t

he winner. Sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. Each audience member was allowed to vote only one time. The equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes Maya received: x − 62,500 = 0.25y If a total of 125,000 people voted, how many votes did Maya receive?

A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)e^kt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a n
forsale [732]

Answer:

mean life = 8264.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

k = - 0.000121

The relation is given by

m = mo e^{kt}

Now, the mean life is the life time for which the sample retains.

The mean life is the reciprocal of the decay constant.  

The relation between the mean life and the decay constant is

\tau =\frac{1}{k}\\\\\tau = \frac{1}{0.000121} = 8264.5 seconds

A bus driver pays all tolls, using only nickels and dimes, by throwing one coin at a time into the mechanical toll collector.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.
