The area of square flake of gold is $53.29 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{mm}$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that width of square flake of gold is $7.3 \times 10^{-4}$ millimeter

To find : Area of square flake

Since gold flake is in shape of square, we can use area of square formula

<em><u>The formula for area of square is given as:</u></em>

$area = s^2$

where "s" is the length of one side

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Area of a square flake }=\left(7.3 \times 10^{-4}\right) \times\left(7.3 \times 10^{-4}\right)} \\\\ {\text { Area of a square flake }=53.29 \times 10^{8}}\end{array}$

Hence , the calculated area of flake is $53.29 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{mm}$

F(z) = (z - 5)(2x + 7) (73 = 3) has zeros at x = -3.5, x=3/7 , x=5 What is the sign of f on the interval 3/7 < x <5?

Gwar [14]

<h3>Answer: Negative</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

3/7 = 0.42857 approximately

Pick a number between that value and 5, not including either endpoint. Let's say we pick x = 2

Plug x = 2 into the f(x) function

f(x) = (x - 5)(2x + 7)(7x-3)

f(2) = (2 - 5)(2*2 + 7)(7*2-3)

f(2) = (2 - 5)(4 + 7)(14-3)

f(2) = (-3)(11)(11)

f(2) = -363

The actual result doesn't matter. All we're after is whether the result is positive or negative. We see the result is negative. This means f(x) is negative when 3/7 < x < 5. The f(x) curve is below the x axis on this interval.

Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate paramet

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Model</u>

The exponential model is often used to simulate the behavior of a magnitude that either grow or decay in proportion to the existing amount of that magnitude.

The model can be expressed as

$M=M_oe^{kt}$

In this case, Mo is the initial mass of the radioactive substance and k is a constant which value is positive if the mass is growing or negative if the mass is decaying.

The value of k is not precisely given in the question, we are assuming $k=-0.2$
