At the beginning of an experiment, a scientist has 132 grams of radioactive goo. After 135 minutes, her sample has decayed to 8.

25 grams.
what is the half-life of the goo in minutes?

find a formula for G(t), the amount of goo remaining at time t. G(t)=

Answer:

  • 33.75 minutes
  • G(t) = 135(1/2)^(t/33.75)
  • 51.42 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given numbers, we know the decay factor is ...

  8.25/132 = 1/16

in 135 minutes. We recognize 1/16 = (1/2)^4, so is 4 half-lives.

a) The half-life of goo is (135 min)/4 = 33.75 minutes

__

b) A formula for the amount remaining could be ...

  G(t) = 135(1/2)^(t/33.75)

__

c) After 47 minutes, the amount remaining is ...

  G(47) = 135(1/2)^(47/33.75) ≈ 51.42 . . . grams

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The general form of a decay equation can be ...

  g(t) = (initial value)(decay factor)^(t/(decay time for the given factor))

For our G(t), we used a decay factor of 1/2 and the half-life time of 33.75 minutes.

Answer:

1. a) Square

2. c) Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PERPENDICULAR to the base, that means you're cutting it straight down, from the top to the bottom, in a vertical line.  The cross-section obtained will be just like an end of the prism, which in this case is a square.  Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's vertical, perpendicular to the base, you'll get a square due to this particular form.  Technically, the answer could also be a rectangle, since a square is a rectangle.

2.  you cut this rectangular prism in way to be PARALLEL to the base, that means you're cutting it straight, from the front to the back, in an horizontal line. The cross-section obtained will be just like an top of the prism, which in this case is a rectangle.  Because it's a regular rectangular prism, no matter where you cut it, as long as it's an horizontal line, parallel to the base, you'll get a rectangle due to this particular form.

A taxi cab driver charges a $2.00 initial fee and $1.75 for each mile.
umka21 [38]

1. She can travel 18 miles. Subtract 35 - 2 (initial fee) to have 33. divide 33 by 1.75 to get 18.85. To check how much her total would be, use inverse operations. 18.85 * 1.75 = 32.9875. 32.9875 + 2 = 34.9875. It is barely under $35 but still in her budget.

2. 20m * $1.75 = $35. $70 - $35 = $35. Yes, she can cover the fare. Samantha has more than needed. She can afford the taxi fare and still have money left for future use.
