Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for half life is

n = no  e ^ (-kt)

Where no is the initial amount of a substance , k is the constant of decay and t is the time

no = 9.8

1/2 of that amount is 4.9 so n = 4.9 and t = 100 years

4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 100)

Divide each side by 9.8

1/2 = e ^ -100k

Take the natural log of each side

ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-100k))

ln(1/2) = -100k

Divide each side by -100

-ln(.5)/100 = k

Our equation in years is

n = 9.8  e ^ (ln.5)/100 t)

Approximating ln(.5)/100 =-.006931472

n = 9.8 e^(-.006931472 t)  when t is in years

Now changing to days

100 years = 100*365 days/year

36500 days

Substituting this in for t

4.9 = 9.8 e^ (-k 36500)

Take the natural log of each side

ln(1/2) = ln(e^(-36500k))

ln(1/2) = -36500k

Divide each side by -100

-ln(.5)/36500 = k

Our equation in years is

n = 9.8  e ^ (ln.5)/36500 d)

Approximating ln(.5)/365=-.00001899

n = 9.8 e^(-.00001899 d)  when d is in days

Answer:

a) x = 9.8 × 0.5^(t/100)

b) x = 9.8 × 0.5^(d/36500)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x = 9.8 × 0.5^(t/100)

100 years = 365×100 days

= 36500 days

b) x = 9.8 × 0.5^(d/36500)

(3n-2)(4n+1)<br> how do i solve this by factoring?
Anni [7]

Answer:

12n^2-5n-2

The expression (3n-2)(4n+1) can be factored with the Distributive Property. It cannot be factored with a Least Common Multiple (LCM), for instance, because the terms within each set of parentheses are completely simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I

.1. (3n-2)(4n+1)\\2. F.O.I.L.: 12n^2+3n-8n-2\\3. Simplify: 12n^2-5n-2\\

Good luck to you!

3x+2y=23<br> 1/2x-4=y<br><br> What should I do for this one...? I dont really understand
Hitman42 [59]

Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......

Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.


3x+2(1/2x-4)=23\\

Distribute

3x+x-8=23

Combine like terms

4x-8=23

Add 8 to both sides

4x=31

Divide by 4

and x=31/4

Plug this value in for x

31/4*1/2-4=y

Simplify

31/8-4=y

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

31-32=8y\\-1=8y

Divide.....

y=-1/8


Your answers are:

y=-1/8\\x=31/4
