The answer is a. $20.40
explaining: if you add 287 and 121, you’ll get 408. You can’t multiply percents so you have to change it into a decimal.
287+121=408
408x0.05= 20.40

Kayla and two of her friends form an investment club. Each contributes $250 to an account that earns 5% interest, compounded ann

vaieri [72.5K]

The multiplier of each account's value is 1.05³ = 1.157625.

The $750 in the club's account will grow to
$750×1.157625 = 868.22
and each member will get 1/3 of that amount, $289.

The $250 in Sheri's individual account will grow to
$250×1.157625 = $289.

Sheri, Kayla, and Kayla's two friends will all have the same amount as a result of their investments.

3(x-1) = 2x - y

3x-3 = 2x-y

3x-2x+y = 3

x + y = 3 ----> (1)

2(x+y) = 3+3y

2x + 2y = 3 + 3y

2x + 2y - 3y = 3

2x - y = 3 -----> (2)

make equation (1) and (2) together

x + y + 2x - y = 3+3

3x = 6

x = 2

now make x = 2 in equation (1)

x + y = 3

2 + y = 3

y = 3-2

y = 1

(x,y) = (2,1)

The half-life of a radioactive element is 130 days, but your sample will not be useful to you after 80% of the radioactive nu

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

We can use the sample about 42 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decay Equation:

$\frac{dN}{dt}\propto -N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{dt} =-\lambda N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{N} =-\lambda dt$

Integrating both sides

$\int \frac{dN}{N} =\int\lambda dt$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|=-\lambda t+c$

When t=0, N= $N_0$ = initial amount

$\Rightarrow ln|N_0|=-\lambda .0+c$

$\Rightarrow c= ln|N_0|$

$\therefore ln|N|=-\lambda t+ln|N_0|$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|-ln|N_0|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$ .......(1)

$\frac{N}{N_0}=e^{-\lambda t}$ .........(2)

Logarithm:

$ln|\frac mn|= ln|m|-ln|n|$
$ln|ab|=ln|a|+ln|b|$

$ln|e^a|=a$

$ln|a|=b \Rightarrow a=e^b$
$ln|1|=0$

130 days is the half-life of the given radioactive element.

For half life,

$N=\frac12 N_0$ , $t=t_\frac12=130$ days.

we plug all values in equation (1)

$ln|\frac{\frac12N_0}{N_0}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|\frac{\frac12}{1}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|1|-ln|2|-ln|1|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow -ln|2|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{-ln|2|}{-130}$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{ln|2|}{130}$

We need to find the time when the sample remains 80% of its original.

$N=\frac{80}{100}N_0$

$\therefore ln|{\frac{\frac {80}{100}N_0}{N_0}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{\frac {80}{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{ {80}|-ln|{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{ln|80|-ln|100|}{-\frac{ln|2|}{130}}$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{(ln|80|-ln|100|)\times 130}{-{ln|2|}}$

$\Rightarrow t\approx 42$

We can use the sample about 42 days.
