One hundred grams of radium are stored in a container. The amount RR (in grams) of radium present after tt years can be modeled

by R=100e−0.00043tR=100e−0.00043t. After how many years will only 5 grams of radium be present? Round your answer to the nearest whole year.

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount * e^k*t
5 grams = 100 grams * e^-.00043 * years

We have to solve the equation for "years"
(You can find the formula here: http://www.1728.org/halflif2.htm
or you can just read the next line

time = natural log (bgng amt / endg amt) / k
time = natural log (100 / 5) / .00043
time = natural log (20) / .00043
time = 2.9957322736 / .00043
time =  <span> <span> <span> 6,967</span></span></span><span> years
</span>
We should double-check this.
First, we need the half-life
k = ln(.5) / half-life
half-life = <span>-.693147 / -.00043
half-life = 1,612 years
Now let's see how many half-lives that is:
</span><span>6,967 / 1,612 years = 4.2 half-lives
So basically, after 4 half-lives the mass should go from

100
50  1 half life
25</span><span><span>  2 half lives</span>
12.5 </span><span>3 half lives
</span> 6.25 <span>4 half lives</span>

6.25 is very close to 5 grams so we can assume we have calculated correctly.

The position of an open-water swimmer is shown in the graph. The shortest route to the shoreline is one that is perpendicular to
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To define the perpendicular line we need to first know the slope of the reference line graphed.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) we have points (0,5) and (2,1)

m=(1-5)/(2-0)

m=-4/2

m=-2

For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must satisfy

m1m2=-1, we have a line with a slope of -2 so

-2m=-1

m=1/2, so our perpendicular line is so far

y=x/2+b, it must have point (3,2) so we can solve for b

2=3/2+b

b=1/2, so the swimmer will travel along the line

y=x/2+1/2

Solve the system of linear equations. separate the x- and y- values with a coma. 20x=-58-2y
lianna [129]
The best way to solve is by using elimination method.
20x = -58 - 2y
17x = -49 - 2y
Multiply second equation by -1
20x = -58 - 2y
-17x = 49 + 2y
Add equations.
3x = -9 
Divide.
x = -3
Plug in -3 into one of the equations.
17(-3) = -49 - 2y
-51 = -49 - 2y
Add 49 to both sides.
-2 = -2y
Divide.
1 = y
So your solution is (-3, 1).
I hope this helps love! :)
