Answer:

1.97 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

-The exponential decay function is given by the formula:

P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\

Given that the half-life is 4 days, we can substitute in the formula to solve the rate of decay for a single half-life:

P_t=P_oe^{rt}\\\\P_t=0.5P_o\\\\\therefore 0.5=e^{-4r}\\\\-4r=In(0.5)\\\\r=0.17329

#Since, 1 week has 7 days, 3 weeks is a 21-day period, thus, t=21.

#We substitute and solve for the amount remaining after 21days of decay:

P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\=75e^{-21\times 0.17329}\\\\=1.97072\\\\\approx1.97 \ oz

Hence, the amount remaining after 3 weeks of decays is approximately 1.97 ounces

Which octant contains the image of point A( 1, -3, 4) after a reflection about the xz - plane?
ANTONII [103]

Hi,

Concept: The given problem is based on 3 Dimensional Geometry.

Consider three axes in defined space be x, y & z in their positive directions then - x , -y & -z be their negative axes.

The coordinate of given point A(x1, y1, z1) = (1, -3, 4)

If we take the reflection of point A about xz - plane x and z coordinates will remain same and y-coordinate will give its reflection. It means the value of y-coordinate will be changed which will be +ve 3.

Hence, the reflection of A(1, -3, 4) will be A'(x2, y2,z2= (1, 3, 4).

Suppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature e
Maslowich

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Equation of regression line :

Yˆ = −114.05+2.17X

X = Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F)

Y = Number of bags of ice sold

On one of the observed days, the temperature was 82 °F and 66 bags of ice were sold.

X = 82°F ; Y = 66 bags of ice sold

1. Determine the number of bags of ice predicted to be sold by the LSR line, Yˆ, when the temperature is 82 °F.

X = 82°F

Yˆ = −114.05+2.17(82)

Y = - 114.05 + 177.94

Y = 63.89

Y = 64 bags

2. Compute the residual at this temperature.

Residual = Actual value - predicted value

Residual = 66 - 64 = 2 bags of ice

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a) cluster sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

In cluster sampling method, each member of a population is assigned to one and only one group.This means clusters are formed through probability method usually a simple random sampling.The participants in the clusters are the only one to be surveyed.

In this example,  simple random sampling is used to identify 12 home rooms(cluster) where a group of 20 students (participants) in each room is given the survey.

Find the area of the figure to the nearest hundredth.<br><br>​
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

51.26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the triangle:

a=1/2 base times height

a=(1/2)(6)(4)

a=12 ft

Now find the area of the circles:

a= pi times radius squared

a= pi times 2.5 squared

a=19.63 ft

19.63 + 12 = 31.63 ft
