Half life means only half of matter is left, which means half is decayed/radiated.
Formula for half life is
t/2 = [(elapsed time)*(log2)]/[log(beginning amount/ending amount)]
1. t/2 = [(10)*(log2)]/[log(100/76.1)] = 25.378 minutes.
t/2 = [10 * 0.301]/[log 1.314] = [3.01]/[0.1186] = 25.378
2. 53.12 = [(T)*(log2)]/[log(15/4)], on solving we get, T = 101.29 days
53.12 = [T * 0.301]/[log 3.75] = [0.301 * T]/[0.574],
T = [53.12 * 0.574]/[0.301] = [30.49]/[0.301] = 101.29

Prove each of these identities.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Identity (a) can be re-written as

$sec x\ cosec x - cot x = tan x$

which we already proven in another question, while for idenity (b)

$(A)\frac 1 {sin x} -sin x = cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x}\\\\(B)\frac {1-sin^2x}{sin x} = \frac {cos^2x} {sin x} \\\\(C) \frac {cos^2x}{sin x} =\frac {cos^2x} {sin x}$

step A is simply expressing each function in terms of sine and cosine.

step B is adding the terms on the LHS while multiplying the one on RHS.

step C is replacing the term on the numerator with the equivalent from the pithagorean identity $cos^2x + sin^2x = 1$

Expand log 3x^4

vampirchik [111]

In this case it's, log(u)^n = nlog(u)

so the answers are either 4 log (3x) or it could also be 4[log3 + log x]
There is no need for the solution to be shown because this is a simple rule of properties of logarithms

1. Divide 6x^4 + 2x^3 – 6x^2 – 14x – 1 by 3x + 1 by using synthetic division or long division. Show all

iris [78.8K]

      2x^3 - 2x - 4

3x + 1 6x^4 + 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 14x - 1
      6x^4 + 2x^3

       -6x^2 - 14x - 1
   -6x^2 - 2x

   -12x - 1
   -12x - 4

3x + 1 is not a factor of the dividend because, dividing the dividend with 3x + 1 gives a remainder.
