<u>Answer:</u>

t = 6.3 days

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The amount of initial mass is irrelevant when finding the half-life since the remaining mass is always 1/2 of the initial mass.

\frac { 1 } { 2 } = e ^ { ( - 0 . 1 0 9 2 t ) }

Taking l n on both the sides to get:

ln \frac { 1 } { 2 } = -0.1092t

t = \frac { l n \frac { 1 } { 2 } } { -0.01092}

t = 6.3475

t = 6.3 days

Solve for x 6(x-1)=9(x+2)
tigry1 [53]
<span>Simplifying 6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: 6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2) (-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2) (-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: -6 + 6x = 9(2 + x) -6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9) -6 + 6x = (18 + 9x) Solving -6 + 6x = 18 + 9x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9x' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x -6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0 -6 + -3x = 18 + 0 -6 + -3x = 18 Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + -3x = 18 + 6 -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24 -3x = 24 Divide each side by '-3'. x = -8 Simplifying x = -8</span>

(2y+1.6)/0.8=30/2.5<br> Please Help!<br> Solve for Y
galina1969 [7]

y = 4

first note that the right side simplifies to 12, equation can be written

\frac{2y+1.6}{0.8} = 12 ( multiply both sides by 0.8 )

2y + 1.6 = 9.6 ( subtract 1.6 from both sides )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4

Which polynomial is a quadratic trinomial?
il63 [147K]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The largest exponent here is 4, so that makes it a quartic.

There are 3 terms, so we have a trinomial. Each term is separated by either a plus or a minus.

Choice A shows a quartic polynomial. Choice B is a cubic polynomial. Choice d is a quadratic trinomial.
