The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms.  But that's not
necessary with these numbers.

Look at the numbers:

-- 3 mg is  1/4  of  12 mg.

-- 1/4  is the product of  (1/2) x (1/2).

-- So the  3 mg is what's left of  12 mg after  2  half-lives.
The  26  minutes must be two half-lives.

-- The half-life of that substance is  26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Go Maggie !

PLEASE HELP ITS AN EMERGENCYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Answer:

The value of k is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

x – 1 is a factor of f(x)

This means that:

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

That means that when x = 1, y = 0. We use this to find the value of k.

f(x) = 3x^3 - 4x + k

3*1^3 - 4(1) + k = 0

3 - 4 + k = 0

k = 1

The value of k is 1.

Frank’s quarter grades are 82.5, 94.7, and 87.9. What grade, rounded to the nearest percent, will Frank have to earn in the last
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The given final course grade, 88%, is the average of Frank's four quarter grades. The average is the sum of all grades divided among the four quarters. Let x be the average,
                                  (82.5 + 94.7 + 87.9 + x) / 4 = 88
The value of x is equal to 86.9. Thus, the answer is letter C. 87%.
