50 grams of that sample will be left after 20 years since it’s only gone through one half-life exactly.

\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &20\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{20}{20}}\implies A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1\implies A=50

Answer:

#1.)  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

#1.) Here,  AB = BC  because they are tangents that meet at a common endpoint

2x = 14

x = 7

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$1632

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $1200

Rate= 12%

Time= 3 years

The simple interest expression is given as

A= P(1+rt)

substitute

A=1200(1+0.12*3)

A=1200(1+0.36)

A=1200*1.36

A=$1632

Hence the amount is $1632
