When studying radioactive​ material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365​ days, 1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 973 co

mma 903 radioactive​ atoms, so 26 comma 097 atoms decayed during 365 days. a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day. b. Find the probability that on a given​ day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Answer: A) 71.498 ; b) 0.00152

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of atoms that decayed during 365 days period = 26,097

Number of days = 365

Mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day:

Mean = number of decayed atoms / number rof days

Mean = 26,097 / 365

Mean = 71.498 atoms per day

B.) probability that 50 radioactive atoms decayed in a given day:

Using the poisson distribution formula :

P(x =x) = (m^x * e^-m) ÷ x!

Where m = mean

Mean (m) = 71.498

P(x = 50) = (71.498^50 * e^-71.498) / 50!

P(x = 50) = (71.498^50 * 2.7182818^-71.498) / 50!

= 4.60795E61 / 50!

= 0.0015150

How can I do this with the function (x+2)/x-3
loris [4]
(x+2)/(x-3) is already a rational function with a linear binomial in both the numerator and denominator...

The vertical asymptote occurs when the slope is undefined, in this case when you have division by zero, when x=3.  So the vertical asymptote is about the vertical line x=3.

The horizontal asymptote occurs about the horizontal line about the line y=k which f(x) approaches, but does not equal as x approaches ±oo.  Which in this case is relatively intuitive, but if you weren't sure, you could divide all terms by the highest power of x, in this case:

(x/x+2/x)/(x/x-3/x)  as x approaches oo is

(1+0)/(1-0)=1, so the horizontal asymptote is about the horizontal line y=1

The y-intercept occurs when x=0 so:

f(0) is just 2/-3=-2/3, so the y-intercept is the point (0, -2/3)

If h(x)=(fog)(x) and h(x) = sqrt x+5, find g(x) if f(x) = sqrtx+2
Katen [24]

Answer: The value of g(x) is x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

h(x)=f\circ g(x)

Here,

h(x)=\sqrt{x+5}\\\\and\\\\f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}

We need to find the value of g(x):

f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}\\\\f(g(x))=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\h(x)=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\\sqrt{x+5}=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\x+5=g(x)+2\\\\g(x)=x+5-2=x+3

Hence, the value of g(x) is x+3.

Find the percent increase in the price per cheese stick.
BaLLatris [955]
Take the price of the cheese stick then divide that by the old price. you will get a decimal. New divided by old.  You should have some decimal that is 1.something.  If its a percent increase of 64 percent you'd have 1.64 as the decimal. good luck.
