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

<h3>\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6 < 3(x-7) } \end{gathered}$} }</h3>

Simplify both sides of the inequality.

\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6 < 3x-21 } \end{gathered}$} }

Subtract 3x from both sides.

<h3>\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{3x+6-3x < 3x-21-3x } \end{gathered}$} }</h3><h3>\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{6 < -21 } \end{gathered}$} }</h3>

Subtract 6 from both sides.

<h3>\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{6-6 < -21-6 } \end{gathered}$} }</h3>

\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{0 < -27} \end{gathered}$} }

If the length of a rectangle in terms of x is x^2+2x-3 and its width is 2x^2+3x+5, what is the perimeter of this rectangle?
AnnZ [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=(L+W)2

L=x^2+2x-3

W=2x^2+3x+5

(x^2+2x-3+2x^2+3x+5)2

(x^2+2x^2+2x+3x-3+5)2

(3x^2+5x+2)2

p=(6x^2+10x+4)units

I need help with geometry<br> I know its not the first one
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: ASA, C

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's ASA cuz since the lines indicate they are parallel, then you can find that the two interior angles are also congruent. Since two angles are the same with the side inbetween being the same, it's probably asa.
