Notice that 50 minutes is twice the half-life.
After 25 minutes, half of the starting amount remains, so that 88g decays to 44g.
After another 25 minutes (a total of 50 minutes), the 44g will decay to 22g.
Y=1/2x
There is no y-intercept
3x - y + z = 5 . . . (1)
x + 3y + 3z = -6 . . . (2)
x + 4y - 2z = 12 . . . (3)
From (2), x = -6 - 3y - 3z . . . (4)
Substituting for x in (1) and (3) gives
3(-6 - 3y - 3z) - y + z = 5 => -18 - 9y - 9z - y + z = 5 => -10y - 8z = 23 . . (5)
-6 - 3y - 3z + 4y - 2z = 12 => y - 5z = 18 . . . (6)
(6) x 10 => 10y - 50z = 180 . . . (7)
(5) + (7) => -58z = 203
z = 203/-58 = -3.5
From (6), y - 5(-3.5) = 18 => y = 18 - 17.5 = 0.5
From (4), x = -6 - 3(0.5) - 3(-3.5) = -6 - 1.5 + 10.5 = 3
x = 3, y = 0.5, z = -3.5
We know that
A quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle if and only if the opposite angles are supplementary. ( Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem)
so
m∠B+m∠D=180°
2x+(3x-5)=180
5x=180+5
5x=185
x=185/5
x=37°
m∠A=x+5-----> 37+5------> 42°
the answer is
m∠A is 42°
So we can start with the full of possibilities and eliminate them one by one.
The full set is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}.
Now we know that any prime greater than 2 is odd as otherwise it would have 2 as a factor, so we can eliminate all of these digits that would be an even number, leaving:
{1,3,5,7,9}
We also know that any prime greater than 5 cannot be a multiple of 5 and that all numbers with 5 in the digits are a multiple of 5, so we can eliminate 5.
{1,3,7,9}
We know that 11,13,17 and 19 are all primes, so we cannot eliminate any more of these, leaving the set:
{1,3,7,9} as our answer.
