Answer:

16.19 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radioactive iodine is used to determine the health of the thyroid gland and it decays according to the equation y = a(e)^{- 0.0856t} where t is in days and a is the initial amount and y is the final amount after decay for t days.

We have to find a one-fourth life of this substance.

So, \frac{a}{4} = a(e)^{- 0.0856t}

⇒ \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 = e^{- 0.0856t}

Now, taking ln both sides we get,

ln (0.25) = - 0.0856t ln e {Since, \ln a^{b} = b \ln a}

So, t = 16.19 days. (Answer)

Solve this equation. (3x+10)−(2x−9)=43
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: X = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms to the left:

(3x + 10) - (2x - 9) - 43 = 0

Get rid of all the parenthesis:

3x + 10 - 2x - 9 - 43 = 0

Add all the numbers and all variable:

x-24 = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right:

x = 24

\bf \textit{Pythagorean Identities}&#10;\\\\&#10;sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)&#10;\\\\ 1+tan^2(\theta)=sec^2(\theta)\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\\&#10;[1+tan^2(u)][1-sin^2(u)]=1&#10;\\\\\\\&#10;[sec^2(u)][cos^2(u)]\implies \cfrac{1}{cos^2(u)}\cdot cos^2(u)\implies \cfrac{cos^2(u)}{cos^2(u)}\implies 1
