Ilya [14]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the graph we have:

Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)

Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

Slope formula is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Slope of JL:

(0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

Slope of MP:

(-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3

226Ra has a half-life of 1599 years. How much is left after 1000 years if the initial amount was 10 g?

Ray Of Light [21]

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}\\\\
A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &10\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &1000\\
h=\textit{half-life}\to &1599
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=10\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{1000}{1599}}$

Reggie Means invested part of $31,000 in municipal bonds that earn 7.5% annual simple interest and the remainder of the money in

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Principal Invested in Municipal Bonds is $16,000

Principal Invested in Corporate Bonds is $15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If;

Principal Invested in municipal bonds = a

Principal Invested in corporate bonds = b

then we have;

a + b = $31,000 --------------------------------Equation 1

0.075a + 0.085b = $2,475 ---------------Equation 2

From equation 1 we have;

a = 31,000 - b

By putting the values of a in Equation 2 we get;

0.075 (31,000 - b) + 0.085b = 2,475

2,325 - 0.075b + 0.085b = 2,475

0.01b = 150

b = $15,000

By putting the values of b in equation 1 we get;

a = $16,000
