What is the solution of the equation? w - 2 = -3

1 answer:

Sophie [7]3 years ago

W - 2 = -3....add 2 to both sides
w - 2 + 2 = -3 + 2...simplify
w = -1 <== ur solution

Who’s graph show a proportional relationship in which the value of y is one-half of the value of x

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

so

That means it's the equation of a line passing through the origin.

case a) and case d) are discarded because the line does not pass through the origin

<u>case b) we have</u>

for x=2 y=4

y/x=k-------> 4/2=2------> k=2

y=2x-------> in this case the value of y is two times the value of x

<u>case c) we have</u>

for x=4 y=2

y/x=k-------> 2/4=1/2------> k=(1/2)

y=(1/2)x-------> in this case the value of y is one-half of the value of x

therefore

the solution is the case c) see the attached figure

The half-life of a radioactive element is 130 days, but your sample will not be useful to you after 80% of the radioactive nu

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

We can use the sample about 42 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decay Equation:

$\frac{dN}{dt}\propto -N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{dt} =-\lambda N$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dN}{N} =-\lambda dt$

Integrating both sides

$\int \frac{dN}{N} =\int\lambda dt$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|=-\lambda t+c$

When t=0, N= $N_0$ = initial amount

$\Rightarrow ln|N_0|=-\lambda .0+c$

$\Rightarrow c= ln|N_0|$

$\therefore ln|N|=-\lambda t+ln|N_0|$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|-ln|N_0|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$ .......(1)

$\frac{N}{N_0}=e^{-\lambda t}$ .........(2)

Logarithm:

$ln|\frac mn|= ln|m|-ln|n|$
$ln|ab|=ln|a|+ln|b|$

$ln|e^a|=a$

$ln|a|=b \Rightarrow a=e^b$
$ln|1|=0$

130 days is the half-life of the given radioactive element.

For half life,

$N=\frac12 N_0$ , $t=t_\frac12=130$ days.

we plug all values in equation (1)

$ln|\frac{\frac12N_0}{N_0}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|\frac{\frac12}{1}|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow ln|1|-ln|2|-ln|1|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow -ln|2|=-\lambda \times 130$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{-ln|2|}{-130}$

$\rightarrow \lambda= \frac{ln|2|}{130}$

We need to find the time when the sample remains 80% of its original.

$N=\frac{80}{100}N_0$

$\therefore ln|{\frac{\frac {80}{100}N_0}{N_0}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{\frac {80}{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow ln|{{ {80}|-ln|{100}|=-\frac{ln2}{130}t$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{ln|80|-ln|100|}{-\frac{ln|2|}{130}}$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{(ln|80|-ln|100|)\times 130}{-{ln|2|}}$

$\Rightarrow t\approx 42$

We can use the sample about 42 days.

In Mona’s new video game she earns 30 points for each fish caught and 80 points for each octopus captured, but she loses 15 poin

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Third one

Step-by-step explanation:

30x would be 30 times the amount of fish (x)

+ 80y would be 80 times the amount of octopus captured (y)

- 15z would be subtracting 15 times the amount of crabs she captures
