Answer:

                         S(t)=450\times(1/3)^t

Explanation:

The element is <em>einstenium-253</em>. That means that the mass number, i.e. numbrer of protons plus neutrons, of this isotope is 253, but that is not relevant to answer the question.

It is said that the element <em>loses about 2/3 of its mass every month, </em>then to find the remaining amount, every month you have to multiply by 1/3.

With that you can create a decaying function that gives a sample's mass in grams:

         

        Initial\text{ }mass=M_0\\ \\ Mass\text{ }after\text{ }1\text{ }month=M_0\times1/3\\ \\  Mass\text{ }after\text{ }2\text{ }months=M_0\times(1/3)^2\\ \\  Mass\text{ }after\text{ }3\text{ }months=M_0\times(1/3)^3\\ \\  Mass\text{ }after\text{ }t\text{ }months=M_0\times(1/3)^t

Now you can replace the initial mass with 450 g and write the specific function for this sample:

          S(t)=450\times(1/3)^t

Triss [41]

Answer:

x = 4.1

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-3 + 3x+6 + 5x = 60

14x + 3 = 60

14x = 60 - 3

14x = 57

x = 57/14

x = 4.1

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below?<br><br> 6, 13, 20, 27, 34, . . .
nignag [31]

Answer:

7n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

notice that the difference between adjacent terms is 7.

so nth term is given by:

nth term = first term + (n-1)×difference (n is any number)

= 6 + (n-1)7

= 6+ 7n -7

= 7n - 1

hope this helps :-))
