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)=

how many grams of goo will remain after 47 minutes

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.

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = –3x + 2. What is the slope of the equation?
sesenic [268]
Y = mx + b

m = slope, b = y-intercept

m = -3, therefore the slope is -3

Ming throws a stone off a bridge into a river below.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reaches its max height

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabolic (quadratic) equation is:

h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45

Lets expand this in the form ax^2+bx+c, so we have:

h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45\\h(x)=-5(x^2-2x+1)+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x-5+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x+40

We can say the values of a,b, and c, now to be:

a = -5

b = 10

c = 40

The number of seconds at which the max would occur is given by the point, x, at:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

We know a and b, let's find the seconds, x,

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{10}{2(-5)}=-\frac{10}{-10}=--1=1

Hence,

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reach its max height
