Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Answer: 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

t_{\frac{1}{2} } = In2 / ∧

since the half life is given , we have :

22 = In 2/ ∧

∧ = In2/22

∧ = 0.032

Recall the formula for half life:

\frac{N(t)}{N(0)} = e^{-∧t}

Therefore:

0.80 = e^{-0.032t}

Take the In of both sides

In 0.80 = - 0.032t

t = In 0.80 / - 0.032

t = 7 years

How is |3+10| = |3| + |10| equal
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

First we must figure out what the question means. It is asking how the absolute value of 3+10 is equivalent to the absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of ten.

Next we should solve the expressions: The absolute value of 3 plus 10 is 13. The absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of 10 is 13. 13 and 13 are the same number.

Therefore, the expressions are equivalent.  Thus, having your answer.

Can someone help me with this problem?????
snow_tiger [21]

The perimeter is composed of two straight parts and two semicircles. We can use this to break down the problem.

We can find the straight parts easily. They are given in the problem.

straight parts: 82 x 2 = 164 m

The two semicircles make a circle. We just have to find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 66 cm to get the length of the semicircles.

semicircles: 2(π)(66/2) = 66(3.14) = 207.24 m

answer: 164+207.24 = 371.24 m
