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.

Given

The parallelogram,

To find the area of the parallelogram.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The base of the parallelogram is 10 inches.

And, the height of the parallelogram is 5 inches.

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} Area\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }parallelogram=b\times h \\ =10\times5 \\ =50in^2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the area of the given parallelogram is 50 in^2.
