Answer:

t= 3.1 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A_0 e kt

Half life(1/2) = 26 yrs

1/2 = 1_0 e^k.26

ln(1/2) = ln(e^26k)

26k. ln(e) = ln(1/2)

k = 1/26* ln(1/2)

k = -0.0267

A = A_0 e^kt

0.92 = 1.e^(-0.0267)t

ln(0.92) = ln(e^(-0.0267)t

-0.0267t .ln(e) = ln(0.92)

t = ln(0.92) / -0.0267

t = 3.122

t = 3.1years (approximate to 1 d.p)

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The answer is "152 ft"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attached file.

The area of the square (8 \times 5=40) can be found on the foot.

The area of the triangular front will then be calculated (6\times 4=\frac{24}{2} = 12).

Since each has two sides, 24+80=104.

Therefore the multiplying the area of the bottom square (6\times 8=48)by the number of cells to get 152.

Write an equation in point-slope for, for the line through the given spot (4, -6); m = 3/5
oee [108]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point (4, -6) and the slope m = 3/5. Substitute:

y-(-6)=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-4)\\\\\boxed{y+6=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-4)}
