Answer:
The function that represents the mass of the sample after t days is
.
The percentage rate of change per hour is of -2.46%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential amount of decay:
The exponential amount of decay for an amount of a substance after t days is given by:

In which A(0) is the initial amount, and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 59% every day. The experiments starts out with 390 grams of Element X.
This means, respectively, that 
So



The function that represents the mass of the sample after t days is
.
Hourly rate of change:
Decreases by 59% every day, which means that for 24 hours, the rate of change is of -59%. So
-59%/24 = -2.46%
The percentage rate of change per hour is of -2.46%.
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
5-3=2
so you multiply 2 times 27.
2 times 27 is 54
Answer:
r= -19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?
Mathematically this is expressed as
(1/x)⁵
We have a rule when it comes to expressing power
(1/a)^b = a^-b
Hence, applying this rule to our question
(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5
= x^-5
This is written in words as:
x to the power of negative 5
Answer:
5.24 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc length is calculated as
arc = circumference × fraction of circle
= 2πr × 
= 2π × 5 × 
=
≈ 5.24 in (2 dec. places )
