Answer:

24.52 mg will remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial  quantity of Iodine-125  = 500 mg,

Also, it has a daily decay rate of about 1%.

Thus, the final quantity of Iodine-125 after x days,

A=500(1-\frac{1}{100})^x

=500(1-0.001)^x

=500(0.999)^x

For x = 300 days,

The remained quantity would be,

A=500(0.999)^{300}

=24.5204470356

\approx 24.52\text{ mg}

Third option is correct.

So.. in this case, the starting amount is the 500mg sample... and the rate of decay, negative rate, is 1%, and at the time, the elapsed days is 0, to t = 0, P = 400

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential change}\\\\
A=P(1\pm r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{starting amount}\to &500\\
r=rate\to 1\%\to \frac{1}{100}\to &0.01\\
t=\textit{elapsed period}\to &300\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=500(1-0.01)^{300}

a trapezoid has base lengths of (6x-1) units and 3 units. Its midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units. What is the value of x?
vodka [1.7K]
1. You have that:

 - The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
 - The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.

 2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:

 Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2

 As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.

 3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:

 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2

 4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
 2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
 10x-6=6x+2
 10x-6x=2+6
 4x=8
 x=8/4
 x=2
