Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the numerator first

3 1/2 - 9 3/4

Convert to improper fraction

7/2 - 39/4

Find the LCM

$\frac{14 - 39}{4}$

= -25/4

Now let's take the denominator

-2.5

Convert to fraction

-5/2

Combine the two parts of the fraction

-25/4 / (-5/2)

This becomes;

-25/2 * -2/5

= +5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

yep that's the answer all you have to do is.

{x + 3y <=36

{x + 1.5y <=20

{x = y

y+3y<=36

4y<=36

y<=9

y+1.5y<=20

2.5y<=20

y<=8

min(8,9) = 8

x = 8, y = 8

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a

VMariaS [17]

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass (in mg) remaining after $t$ years, then $y(t) = y(0) e^{kt}=100e^{kt}.$

$y(30) = 100 e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2}(100) \implies e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2} \implies k = -(\ln 2) /30 \implies \\ \\
y(t) = 100e^{-(\ln 2)t/30} = 100 \cdot 2^{-t/30}$

(b) $y(100) = 100 \cdot 2^{-100/30} \approx \text{9.92 mg}$

(c)
$100 e^{- (\ln 2)t/30} = 1\ \implies\ -(\ln 2) t / 30 = \ln \frac{1}{100}\ \implies\ \\ \\
t = -30 \frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 2} \approx \text{199.3 years}$
