40 is 20% of x

40 = .2 * x

40/.2 = x

x =200

x is 80% of y

x = .8 * y

200 = .8 *y

200/.8 = y

250 =y

x+y

200+250

450

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of radicals/ exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$

$a^{\frac{m}{n} }$ ⇔ $\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }$

Simplifying each term

7 $\sqrt{x^{3} }$ = 7 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

x $\sqrt{9x}$

= x × $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{x}$

= x × 3 × $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$

= 3 × $x^{(1+\frac{1}{2}) }$

= 3 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Subtracting the 2 simplified like terms, that is

7 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$ - 3 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

= 4 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$ ← return to radical form

= 4 $\sqrt{x^{3} }$

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a

VMariaS [17]

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass (in mg) remaining after $t$ years, then $y(t) = y(0) e^{kt}=100e^{kt}.$

$y(30) = 100 e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2}(100) \implies e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2} \implies k = -(\ln 2) /30 \implies \\ \\
y(t) = 100e^{-(\ln 2)t/30} = 100 \cdot 2^{-t/30}$

(b) $y(100) = 100 \cdot 2^{-100/30} \approx \text{9.92 mg}$

(c)
$100 e^{- (\ln 2)t/30} = 1\ \implies\ -(\ln 2) t / 30 = \ln \frac{1}{100}\ \implies\ \\ \\
t = -30 \frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 2} \approx \text{199.3 years}$

The base of a rectangular prism is a square. The height of the prism is half the length of one edge of the base. The volume of t

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The prism is 3 by 3 by 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism has a length x and a width x. Since it is a square at the base both length and width are the same amount x. The height is "half the length of one edge of the base". Since the base is x, this makes it 1/2x.

The volume's prism is found using V = l*w*h. Substitute and simplify.

13.5 = x*x*1/2x

13.5 = 1/2 x^3

27 = x^3

3 = x

The prism is 3 by 3 by 1.5.
