Answer:

after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125

Step-by-step explanation:

isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass at first:

210(1/2)=105 half it is original weight

after second life: 210(1/2)^2=105(1/2)=52.5

after third : 210(1/2)^3=52.5/2=26.25

after fourth : 26.25/2=12.125

after fifth : 13.125/2

after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125

Suppose a wild fire is doubling in size every 6 hours. If the initial size of the fire was 1 acre, how many acres will the fire
maria [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 days= 24 hours in 1 day, so multiply that by 2 to get 48 hours total.

Now find the amount of time the wild fire doubles by dividing 48 total hours by 6. So it will double 8 times

The size was 1 acre. Let's multiply by 2, 8 times

1

2

4

8

16

32

64

128

The fire will cover 128 acres in two days.

1.5x + 1.3x = -8.4<br><br> I just wanted to make sure i got it right I got X = 42
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Hello there! I'm Ashlynn I'm always here to help!

___________________________________________

1.5x+1.3x

Combine 1.5x and 1.3x to get 2.8x.

(2.8x)

Subtract 1 from 1.

2.8x  

0

 

For any term t except 0, t  

0

=1.

2.8×1

For any term t, t×1=t and 1t=t.

2.8

Find the sum of the given vectors and illustrate geometrically. [0,1,2],[0,0,-3]
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The sum of the given vectors is [0,1,2]+[0,0,-3]=[0,1,-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given vectors (which are R³ vectors), the sum is simply the sum of each coordinate, if a general vector is written as

[x,y,z]

<u>the sum of two vector will be in each coordinate at a time</u>.

To illustrate geometrically the resulting vector in the space xyz

[0,1,-1]

<em>we can say that the first coordinate is on the x-axis, the sencond on the y-axis, and the third one on the z-axis</em>, so the illustration will be a <em>vector starting from the center of coordinates, and ending in the coordinates 0 of the x-axis, 1 of the y-axis, and -1 of the z-axis</em>. <u>Or, in a plane yz (where x=0), a vector from the origin to the point 1 in y-axis, and -1 in z-axis</u>.

suppose a sample of 1305 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1044 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: (0.771,\ 0.829)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Sample size : n=1305

The proportion of tenth graders read above the eighth grade level. =p=\dfrac{1044}{1305}=0.8

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=0.8\pm(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8(1-0.8)}{1305}}\\\\\approx0.8\pm0.029\\\\=(0.771,\ 0.829)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.771,0.829) .
