Call x is the number of girls in the classroom.
12/120 = 25/x
x = 120*25/12
x=250

Ask yourself what do I have to multiply by 12 to get an answer of 120 ( you can just do 120/12, which is 10) then, you multiply the other side by ten as well

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for a quantity of the substance to decay to half of the initial am

posledela

Step-by-step walkthrough:

Well a standard half-life equation looks like this.

$N = N_0 * (\frac{1}{2})^{t/p$

$N_0$ is the starting amount of parent element.

$N$ is the end amount of parent element

$t$ is the time elapsed

$p$ is a half-life decay period

We know that the starting amount is 74g, and the period for a half-life is 2.8 days.

Therefore you can create a function based off of the original equation, just sub in the values you already know.

$N(t) = 74g * (\frac{1}{2})^{t/2.8days$

This is easy now that we have already made the function. Here we just reuse it, but plug in 2.8 days.

$N(t) = 74g * (\frac{1}{2})^{t/2.8days} = N(2.8days) = 74g * (\frac{1}{2})^{2.8days/2.8days}\\= 74g * \frac{1}{2} = 37g$

Now we just gotta do some algebra. Use the original function but this time, replace $N(t)$ with 10g and solve algebraically.

$10g = 74g * (\frac{1}{2})^{t/2.8days}\\\\\frac{10g}{74g} = (\frac{1}{2})^{t/2.8days}$

Take the log of both sides.

$log(\frac{5}{37}) = log((\frac{1}{2})^{t/2.8days})$

Use the exponent rule for log laws that, $log(b^x) = x*log(b)$

$log(\frac{5}{37}) = \frac{t}{2.8days} * log(\frac{1}{2})$

$\frac{log(\frac{5}{37})}{log(\frac{1}{2})} = \frac{t}{2.8days}$

$2.8 * \frac{log(\frac{5}{37})}{log(\frac{1}{2})} = t$

slap that in your calculator and you get

$t = 8.1 days$

Find the real zeros of the trigonometric function on the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

F(x) = 4 [cos (x)]^2 - 3 = 0

4[cos(x)]^2 = 3

cos(x) = √3 / 2

That happens in the first and fourth quadrants, for the angles 30 degrees and 330 degrees.

Answer: x = 30 degrees and x = 330 degrees
