2/8 and 4/16 are equivalent to 1/4
3.75 is the correct answer
In order to figure out the half-life, you divide to sample by 2. In order to find how many times to divide it you divide 15 by 3 and get 5. Therefore, you divide 120 by 2, 5 times and get 3.75
Answer:
- a) f(x) = - 20x + 450
- b) 30 pages left to read
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given sequence:</u>
The first term is 430 and the common difference is - 20.
a)
<u>Required function is:</u>
- f(x) = 430 - 20Ix - 1) = 430 - 20x + 20 = 450 - 20x
or
b)
<u>Find the number of pages left after 21 days:</u>
- f(21) = 450 - 20*21 = 450 - 420 = 30
We can think of it as being 6 congruent triangle whose vertices are at the center of the hexagon so it will map onto itself 6 times
