This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.

Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation

BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC

is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.

For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:

ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.

Justification 2 has the final division upside down.

Answer: y = (x - 6)^2

work:

y = x^2 - 12x + 36

y = (x - 6) (x - 6)

y = (x - 6)^2

Use the exponential decay model, Upper A equals Upper A 0 e Superscript kt, to solve the following. The half-life of a certai

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

It will take 7 years ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows the amount of the substance after t years,

$A=A_0 e^{kt}$

Where,

$A_0$ = Initial amount of the substance,

If the half life of the substance is 19 years,

Then if t = 19, amount of the substance = $\frac{A_0}{2}$ ,

i.e.

$\frac{A_0}{2}=A_0 e^{19k}$

$\frac{1}{2} = e^{19k}$

$0.5 = e^{19k}$

Taking ln both sides,

$\ln(0.5) = \ln(e^{19k})$

$\ln(0.5) = 19k$

$\implies k = \frac{\ln(0.5)}{19}\approx -0.03648$

Now, if the substance to decay to 78% of its original amount,

Then $A=78\% \text{ of }A_0 =\frac{78A_0}{100}=0.78 A_0$

$0.78 A_0=A_0 e^{-0.03648t}$

$0.78 = e^{-0.03648t}$

Again taking ln both sides,

$\ln(0.78) = -0.03648t$

$-0.24846=-0.03648t$

$\implies t = \frac{0.24846}{0.03648}=6.81085\approx 7$

Hence, approximately the substance would be 78% of its initial value after 7 years.
