$A=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h=13687.5\\\frac{1}{2}((150)+(215))h=13687.5\\(365)h=27375\\h=75$

h = 75 yards.

Pls help me with this

Answer:

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x}{2} \geq 0.75$

$\frac{x}{2} < 2.5$

Required

Find the value of x.

First, the inequalities need to be rewritten and merged;

if $\frac{x}{2} \geq 0.75$ , then

$0.75 \leq \frac{x}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 0.75 \leq \frac{x}{2} * 2$

$1.5 \leq x$

Similarly;

$\frac{x}{2} < 2.5$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * \frac{x}{2} < 2.5 * 2$

$x < 5$

Merging these results together; to give

$1.5 \leq x < 5$

This means that the range of values of x is from 1.5 to 4.9999....

From the question, x is the smallest rational number; from the range above ( $1.5 \leq x < 5$ ), the minimum value of x is 1.5 and 1.5 is a rational number;

Hence, x = 1.5

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes. If there are 200 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest ten

Semenov [28]

Answer:

It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the amount of the element present, after t minutes, is:

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

In which Q(X) decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes.(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate it decreases.

Half life of 12 minutes

This means that $Q(12) = 0.5Q(0)$

So

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

$0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-12r}$

$e^{-12r} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{-12r}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-12r = \ln{0.5}$

$12r = -\ln{0.5}$

$r = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{12}$

$r = 0.05776$

If there are 200 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 50 grams?

This is t when Q(t) = 50. Q(0) = 200.

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

$50 = 200e^{-0.05776t}$

$e^{-0.05776t} = 0.25$

$\ln{e^{-0.05776t}} = \ln{0.25}$

$-0.05776t = \ln{0.25}$

$0.05776t = -\ln{0.25}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.25}}{0.05776}$

$t = 24$

It would take 24 minutes for the element to decay to 50 grams
