Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is the time,
and T is the half life.
A = 140 when t = 10. Solve for the half life:
140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)
0.2 = ½^(10 / T)
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31
When A = 40, t is:
40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)
0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.
Answer:
3x+5=5x-9(llgram oppositesides are equal)
3x-5x= -9-5
-2x=-14
x= -14/-2
x=7
We're told that
where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:
so that 
and 
are complementary.
By definition of conditional probability, we have
We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as
![\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%20P%28B%29-%5B1-P%28A%5Ccup%20B%29%5EC%5D%3D%5B1-P%28B%29%5D-P%28A%5Ccup%20B%5EC%29)
![\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies2P%28B%29%3D2-%5BP%28A%5Ccup%20B%29%5EC%2BP%28A%5Ccup%20B%5EC%29%5D)
![\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies2P%28B%29%3D%5B1-P%28A%5Ccup%20B%29%5EC%5D%2B%5B1-P%28A%5Ccup%20B%5EC%29%5D)
By the law of total probability,
and substituting this into 
gives
![2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2P%28B%29%3DP%28A%5Ccup%20B%29%2B%5BP%28B%29-P%28A%5Ccap%20B%29%5D)
