Answer:

85.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of an element that will remain after time t can be expressed as a function of initial amount N0, time t, and half life th as;

Nt = N0 × e^(-λt)

Where;

Decay constant λ = ln(2)/th, substituting into the equation;

Nt = N0 × e^(-ln(2)t/th)

We need to make t the subject of formula;

Nt/N0 = e^(-ln(2)t/th)

ln(Nt/N0) = -ln(2)t/th

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Given;

Initial amount N0 = 760g

Final amount Nt = 11 g

Half life th = 14 minutes

the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 11 grams can be derived using the formula;

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Substituting the given values;

t = ln(11/760) ÷ -ln(2)/14

t = 85.5 minutes

If f(x)= 5x + 4 and g(x) = 1/2x<br><br> find ,<br> a) fg(5)
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

f(g(5)) = 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate f(g(5)), evaluate g(5) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)

g(5) = \frac{1}{2} × 5 = 2.5 , then

f(2.5) = 5(2.5) + 4 = 12.5 + 4 = 16.5

s344n2d4d5 [400]

The correct answer is C, x is greater than -5. In order to solve this, you have to solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation. Then you have to isolate the variable. Hope this helped!
