Answer:

2,674.14 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for radioactive decay is

N = N₀ e^(-λt)

where,

N is the amount left at time t

N₀ is the initial amount when t=0, (given as 42,784 g)

λ = coefficient of radioactive decay

  = 0.693 ÷ Half Life

  = 0.693 ÷ 18

  = 0.0385

t = time elapsed (given as 72 years)

e = exponential constant ( approx 2.7183)

If we substitute these into our equation:

N = N₀ e^(-λt)

= (42,787) (2.7183)^[(-0.0385)(72)]

= (42,787) (2.7183)^(-2.7726)

=  (42,787) (0.0625)

= 2,674.14 g

(a) Yes all six trig functions exist for this point in quadrant III. The only time you'll run into problems is when either x = 0 or y = 0, due to division by zero errors. For instance, if x = 0, then tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) will have cos(t) = 0, as x = cos(t). you cannot have zero in the denominator. Since neither coordinate is zero, we don't have such problems.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) The following functions are positive in quadrant III:

tangent, cotangent

The following functions are negative in quadrant III

cosine, sine, secant, cosecant

A short explanation is that x = cos(t) and y = sin(t). The x and y coordinates are negative in quadrant III, so both sine and cosine are negative. Their reciprocal functions secant and cosecant are negative here as well. Combining sine and cosine to get tan = sin/cos, we see that the negatives cancel which is why tangent is positive here. Cotangent is also positive for similar reasons.

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of 4
finlep [7]

Answer:

y = 4

since you cant have y = 0x + 4, you drop the x and have a straight line (slope of 0) that runs all along the y point of 4.
