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

A) three numbers sum to 15. The mode of the three numbers is 1. What must the three number be?
uysha [10]
The mode is a number that is repeated the most, so if there is 3 numbers, the "mode number" has to be repeated twice or three times. 

A)  since 1 is the mode, two of the numbers are 1, the last number is
15 -1 -1 = 13 <em> </em><em> the three numbers are 1, 1, and 13</em><em />.

B)  since 5 is the mode, two of the numbers are 5, the last number is
11 -5 -5 = 1 <em> </em><em> the three numbers are 5, 5, and 1</em><em />.

Range is when you subtract the smallest number to the biggest number, so 5-1=4  <em>The answer is 4</em>

Find the value of expression when b=9, c=5, d=1/2; expression is 1/2d + c^3 - b​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

115 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} Because d=1/2. 1/2*1/2=1/4

C=5 so, C^3=5x5x5

C=125

Next, b=9

Then, you put everything together.

1/4+125-9=125 1/4-9

115 3/4

115 3/4+9 1/4
