I am sketching parabolas and my textbook is telling me that I need only two points. But I don't know how I am meant to sketch th

e parabola accurately with only two points. Are parabolas just supposed to be drawn roughly or do we have to find all the points and then sketch it?

You can actually sketch a parabola decent with 3 points, if you have the bottom of the parabola, then two points you decide on your own. The curve can then be roughly drawn from there

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 12 minutes. If there are 160
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

It would take 75.8 minutes for the element to decay to 2 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of grams of element x, after t minutes, is given by the following equation:

X(t) = X(0)(1-r)^{t}

In which X(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

There are 160 grams of Element X

This means that X(0) = 160.

So

X(t) = X(0)(1-r)^{t}

X(t) = 160(1-r)^{t}

Half life of 12 minutes.

This means that X(12) = 0.5*X(0) = 0.5*160 = 80. So

X(t) = 160(1-r)^{t}

80 = 160(1-r)^{12}

(1 - r)^{12} = 0.5

\sqrt[12]{(1 - r)^{12}} = \sqrt[12]{0.5}

1 - r = 0.9438

So

X(t) = 160(1-r)^{t}

X(t) = 160(0.9438)^{t}

How long would it take for the element to decay to 2 grams?

This is t for which X(t) = 2. So

X(t) = 160(0.9438)^{t}

2 = 160(0.9438)^{t}

(0.9438)^{t} = \frac{2}{160}

\log{(0.9438)^{t}} = \log{\frac{2}{160}}

t\log{0.9438} = \log{\frac{2}{160}}

t = \frac{\log{\frac{2}{160}}}{\log{0.9438}}

t = 75.8

It would take 75.8 minutes for the element to decay to 2 grams.

How to find surface area of a right triangular prism to the nearest whole number?
vovangra [49]
The area of the two triangular bases is
  (total base area) = 2×(1/2)bh
    = bh
    = (10 m)(6 m) = 10·6 m² = 60 m²

The area of the three rectangles making up the remaining faces of the prism is
  (total lateral area) = length×base + length×height + length×hypotenuse
    = length×(base + height + hypotenuse)
    = (16 m)(10 m + 6 m + 11.6 m)
    = (16 m)(27.6 m) = 16·27.6 m² = 441.6 m²

Then the surface area of the prism is the sum of these
  surface area = total base area + total lateral area
    = 60 m² + 441.6² = 501.6 m²
When rounded to the nearest whole number, this is
  A) 502 m²
