Answer with explanation:

Decay Formula is given by:

       f(x)=I_{0}(1+\frac{R}{100})^t

I_{0}=\text{Initial Amount of radioactive isotope }

R=Rate at which radioactive isotope is decaying.

t=Time Constant

Now, Coming to the Question ,

The Rate at which  radioactive isotope is decaying is given by the formula:

 f(x)=346\times[\frac{1}{2}]^x \\\\f(1)=346 \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\f(1)=173\\\\f(0)=346\times[\frac{1}{2}]^0\\\\f(0)=346 \times 1=346

⇒346= Initial Amount of Radioactive Isotope

A right angled triangle has two shorter sides and one is twice as long as the other. The hypotenuse is 25cm long. What are the l
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:  x =  14.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states the following:  

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  

Make one side of the triangle x  

Make the second side of the triangle 2x  

Now, you can plug the values into the equation,  right?  

x^2 + 2x^2 = 25^2 or 625  

3x^2 = 625

Divide each side by 3 and you are left with:  

x^2 =  208.33

Now, take the square root of 208.33

x =  14.43

That is the shorter side. The longer side is twice that value: Therefore, 14.43 x 2 = 28.86 14.43 is one side of the triangle. The other is that same value times two. Therefore, the sides of your triangle are: 14.43 Shorter side 28.86 Longer side

The following are score earned by 15 college students on a 20-point math quiz. (a) calculate the mean, median, and mode scores.
Softa [21]

Answer:

(a) 12.87; 14; 18; (b) median  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Statistics

(i) Mean

The mean is the sum of all the data points divided by the number of points.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mean} & = & \dfrac{0 + 2 + 3 + 12 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 14 + 15 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20}{15}\\\\& = & \dfrac{193}{15}\\\\& = & \mathbf{12.87}\\\end{array}

(ii) Median

The median is the middle value in your list of observations.

0, 2, 3, 12, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 18, 19, 20

Median = 14

(iii) Mode

The mode is the value that appears most often in your list of observations.

0, 2, 3, 12, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 18, 19, 20

Mode = 18

(b) Most representative measure

The mean is dragged down by three low values. The median is the measure that is most representative of the data.

The histogram below shows the distribution of your data.
