Answer:

  t=5.0days

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the exponential decay that is N=N_{0}e^{-kt}, we have N=\frac{1}{2}{\times}46=23, N_{0}=46 and k=0.1374.

Thus, N=N_{0}e^{-kt} becomes

23=46{\times}e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{23}{46}=e^{-0.1374t}

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.1374t}

Taking log on both sides, we get

ln(\frac{1}{2})={-0.1374t}

t=\frac{ln\frac{1}{2}}{-0.1}

t=\frac{-0.6931}{-0.1374}

t=5.0days

Answer:

Page 3 - the y-intercept would remain at 5 and the slope would be 3 times the upward slope.

Page 5 - the y-intercept would remain at -2 and the slope would be 1/4 instead of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In point slope form the slope and y-intercept can be read directly from the equation.

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.
eimsori [14]

1. use sin

inverse of sin(44/57) = 50.5 ---> 51°

2. use tan

inverse of tan(6/8) = 36.8 ---> 37°

3. use cos

inverse of cos(20/31) = 49.8 ---> 50°

4. use sin

inverse of sin(37/58) = 39.6 ---> 40°

At another theater, workers have to cut a new trap door. The door can be no more thn 130 square feet in area, with whole-numbers
seraphim [82]
Given:
trap door = 130 square feet.

1st item: 6ft 5in wide & 8ft 9in long 
⇒ (6ft * 12 in) + 5 in & (8ft *12 in) + 9 in
⇒ 77inches by 105 inches
⇒ 8,085 square inches

2nd item: 13ft 4in wide & 7ft 8in long
⇒ (13ft * 12in)+ 4 in & (7ft *12in) + 8 in
⇒ 160 inches by 92 inches
⇒ 14,720 square inches

3rd item: 5ft 6in wide & 12ft 4in long
⇒ (5 ft * 12in) + 6 in & (12ft * 12in) + 4in
⇒ 66 inches by 148 inches
⇒ 9,768 square inches

130 square feet convert to square inches.
130 sq. ft * 144 sq.in/sq.ft = 18,720 sq. in

18,720 sq. in / 160 inches = 117 inches

Length = 160 inches ; Width = 117 inches
Perimeter = 2(160 + 117)
P = 2(277)
P = 554 inches
