Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Half-lives are how long it takes for half of a substance to decay. If you start with a certain amount and it decays for a certain amount of half-lives, you are dividing by
, where <em>x</em> is equal to the amount of half-lives.
In order to solve this question, simply divide the starting value by 2 raised to the value of half-lives.

Answer:
(b² + 1) (b - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
= b³ - b² + b - 1
= b² (b - 1) + 1(b - 1)
= (b² + 1) (b - 1)
Answer:
4378
Step-by-step explanation:
Its clearly given that each term is multiplied by 3
I.e- 2×3 = 6
6×3= 18
and so on....
so here the G.P series is a=2 and r=3
To find the 8th term ar^8-1
ar^7 = 2×3^7
= 2×2187
= 4378
X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11
