Half life means exactly 1/2 of what's left decays
example

if yo has 16grams
if half life is 1 hour, after 1 hour, 8g is left
after another hour, 4g is left
after another your, 2g is left
etc


so find how many half lifes have elapes

so

the amount left after n halflives when you start with P amount is
A=P(1/2)^n

5hr=60*5=300mins
300/30=10
10 half lifves

P=1500
n=10
A=1500(1/2)^10
A=375/256
A≈1.46484g
about 1.5g left

ASAP please help!!!

Y+4<u><</u>9
subtract 4
y<u><</u>5
y is smaller than and equal to 5
so you shade from 5 to the negative end to infinity (to the left) and shade the 5 to show that it is included (attachment says A)







6 less than (-6) 2 times a number (2 time x) is greater than (>) 8 (8)

-6+2x>8
add 6
2x>14
divide 2
x>7
so
x is bigger than 7
shade from 7 to the positive end to infinity (to the right) and don't shade 7 but put a circle around it to show that it is not included (attachment says B )

I have included pictures of the number lines

Find the slope if it exits 2x-5y=6
77julia77 [94]
In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.

If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

Set it equal to y

2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.
