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)

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

x=29.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To help find the sides of a triangle, I use SOHCAHTOA.

SOH - CAH - TOA

S=O/H (Sine=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} )

C=A/H (Cosine=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} )

T=O/A (Tangent =\frac{opposite}{adjacent} )

Let's find x first. We know 2 parts of the triangle: the adjacent leg, and the angle that is opposite of that.

So it would be tangent (tan).

opposite = 17

adjacent = 30°

Plug these numbers into the calculator and you should get your answer.

\frac{17}{tan(30)} = 29.44486372...

x=29.4

Try to do <em>y</em> on your own and let me know if you have any questions!

Also correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

Hope this information helps!

Hello, all we need to do in this case to subtract the amount of money Bob paid for the suit from the amount of money the suit regularly costs. So:

375,95 - 268,35 = 107,6

Bob saves 107,6$.
