Forty grams of Iodine 131, a radioactive material, decays according to the equation A(t)=40e^(-0.087t) (t is in days and A is th

e amount present at time t)
a. How much iodine 131 is remaining after 5 days?


b. When will 10 grams of iodine 131 be left?

A.) After 5 days t=5 so:

a(5) = 40 {e}^{ - 0.087(5)}   = 25.89g
b.) Since we want to know how much time 40 grams will decay to 10 grams we will let A(t)=10 so:

10 = 40 {e}^{ - 0.087(t)}  \\  \\  \frac{10}{40}  =  {e}^{ - 0.087(t)}  \\  \\  ln( \frac{1}{4} )  =  - 0.087t \\  \\  \frac{ ln( \frac{1}{4} ) }{ - 0.087}  = t \\  \\ t = 15.93
10 grams will be left after 15.93 days.

Two chicken coops are to be built adjacent to one another from 168 ft of fencing. What dimensions should be used to maximize the
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

21 ft by 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To maximize the area, see the attached.

Perimeter will be 4l+3w which is equal to the fencing perimeter, given as 168

4l+3w=168

Making l the subject then

4l=168-3w

l=42-¾w

Area of individual land will be lw and substituting l with l=42-¾w

Then

A=lw=(42-¾w)w=42w-¾w²

A=42w-¾w²

Getting the first derivative of the above with respect to w rhen

42-w6/4=0

w6/4=42

w=42*4/6=28

Since

l=42-¾w=42-¾(28)=21

Therefore, maximum dimensions are 21 for l and 28 for w

in a country in asia, the average hourly wage in dollars from 1945 to 1995 can be modeled by the function below
ddd [48]

Answer:

The answer is "3.03"

Step-by-step explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

In 1970, the hourly wage was determined using the formula:

\to f(x) = 0.183(x - 1970) + 3.03

So, the hourly wage in 1970:  

=f(1970)\\\\ = 0.183(1970 -1970) + 3.03\\\\ =0.183(0) + 3.03\\\\= 0+3.03\\\\=3.03
