This is a fairly easy half-life problem
Each half-life reduces the radioactive material by one half.
So after 72 hours the radioactive material would have undergone 6 half-lives. 
2^6 = 64.
So, there will be one sixty-fourth of the material left.
520 / 64 = 8.125 grams will remain.
radioactive decay is an exponential decay function.

The amount of money in Nadia’s savings account is represented by the recursive formula an=1.025(an-1)+50 if a6=291.51 what are t
Elis [28]
Recursive formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding the next terms. In the problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) + 50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51

a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62

a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09

a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89

a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99

a(n) = 25.36

The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.

So, the correct answer is <span>A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

m = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the picture attached, we can see the angles formed.

The angle on the top (5m+100) is sided with the angle 2m+10. This means that they are supplementary angles, their sum is 180°.

So,

5m+100+2m+10 = 180

5m+2m=180-100-10

7m = 70

m = 10
