So, 0.5^5 is 0.03125
multiply that by 125 and get your answer.
*3.90625* (4)
just saying, I got the 0.5^5 thing because 5 is the number of half-lives (x) and 0.5 is the rate of loss (or whatever its called).
If it were to gain, you would put 1.5
The first choice if ()2 means to the power of two if not then it is none of them.
We will start with our guess of 12, since 12*2 = 24.
Divide 24 by 12; 24/12=2. Average this answer with our guess: (12+2)/2=7. This is our new guess.
24/7=3.428571429. Average this with our guess of 7: (3.428571429+7)/2=5.214285715. This is our new guess.
24/5.214285715=4.602739726. Averaging with our guess: (4.602739726+5.214285715)/2=4.90851272. New guess!
24/4.90851272=4.889464766. Averaging with our guess: (4.889464766+4.90851272)/2=4.898988743. New guess! You can see as we go through our guesses are closer and closer to the same number...)
24/4.898988743=4.898970228. Averaging: (4.898970228+4.898988743)/2=4.898979486. At this point our answer is the same every time down to the hundred-thousandth. Our estimate to the nearest hundredth would be 4.90.
Answer: $2
Step-by-step explanation:
just do 4 divided by 2 and your answer is 2
