Mathematics
2 answers:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

7 is first multiplied into both sides of the parentheses

7x-14=42

then you add 14 to both sides to get rid of the 14 on the left side

7x-14=42

+14     +14

----------------

7x=56

then u divide 7x by both sides

7x/7=56/7

x=8

Find the geometric mean of the pair of numbers
Svetach [21]

Answer: a. 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the geometeric mean between two numbers a and b is given by :-

G.M. =\sqrt{ab}

The given numbers are : 275 and 11

The geometric mean of 275 and 11 is given by :-

G.M.=\sqrt{275\times11}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M. =\sqrt{3025}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55\times55}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=55

Hence, the geometric mean of 275 and 11 is 55.

So , the correct option is a. 55 .

A radioactive substance is decaying exponentially. If there are initially 15 grams of the substance and after 3 hours there are
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Ok, an exponential decay is written as:

P(t) = A*(1 - r)^t

Where A is the initial population, r is the rate of decay and t is the unit of time.

We know that the initial population is 15g

then:

P(t) = 15g*(1 - r)^t

And at t = 3hs, the populations is 5g

P(5h) = 5g = 15g*(1 - r)^5

5/15 = 1/3 = (1 - r)^5

(1/3)^(1/5) = (1 - r) = 0.8

Now, the half life time of the sustance is t = x, such that the population reduces to it's half:

P(x) = A/2 = 15g/2 = 7.5g

Then:

7.5g = 15g*0.8^x

7.5g/15g = 1/2 = 0.8^x

Now, remember that if we have:

a = b^x

then

x = ln(a)/ln(b)

ln(1/2)/ln(0.8) = x = 3,11 hours
