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

ABC ~ DEF and the scale factor from ABC to DEF is 1/2, what are the lengths of DE
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC ~ DEF means that ABC and DEF are the same triangle either expanded or contracted.

In this case the scale factor is 1/2. That means DEF is half ABC.

Since AB = 26 then DE must be 26/2 = 13
