The answer is 28 years

At = A0 * e^(-k * t)
At = 12 g
A0 = 15 g
k = 7.9 × 10^-3 = 0.0079 
t = ?

12 = 15 * e^(-0.0079 * t)
12/15 = e^(-0.0079 * t)
0.8 = e^(-0.0079 * t)

Logarithm both sides (because ln(e) = 1:
ln(0.8) = ln(e^(-0.0079 * t))
ln(0.8) = (-0.0079 * t) * ln(e)
-0.223 = -0.0079 * t
t = -0.223 / -0.0079
t = 28.23
t ≈ 28 years

HELP PLEASE!!!
True [87]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) is shifted k units to the right of the graph of g(x).    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function  and  where k <0.

As, horizontal depends on the value of x and are when

g(x)=f(x+h)   graph shifted to left.

g(x)=f(x-h)    graph shifted to right.

Now, given

But here k is negative, when k is considered positive then f(x) becomes

⇒ The graph of f(x) is shifted k units to the right of the graph of g(x).

Correct option is B.

1. A motorboat travels 196 meters in 20 seconds. What is the motorboat's unit rate of speed?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

196: 9.8

20: 1

x= 9.8 meters in 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by following writing equal ratios that represent a word problem. Then, the denominator must be divided from the numerator to get the unit rate/ meters per second.

Answer:

y = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 40° (vertical angles are congruent)

y is an exterior angel of a triangle that has two opposite internal angles, x (40°) and 60°.

According to the exterior angle of a triangle, thus:

y = 40 + 60

y = 100°
