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

What is the answer to 3x – 3 = 18​
Shalnov [3]
The answer is 7
3x-3=18 (take 3 to the other side to solve for x)
3x=18+3 (3 will be positive)
3x=21 (divide both sides by 3)
x=7

What is the solution to the inequality -.4x-1.2 >.8
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve -.4x-1.2 >.8 for x.

Start by adding 1.2 to both sides, to isolate -0.4 x:

-0.4x > 0.4

Divide both sides by -0.4, remembering the reverse the direction of the inequality sign:

x < -1

Find the area of ABC<br>Help
Katarina [22]

The value of the scale factor is 3. Then the height and area of the triangle ΔABC will be 9 ft and 54 square ft.

<h3>What is dilation?</h3>

Dilation means the changing of the size of the object without changing the shape. The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.

The area of the triangle ΔDEF is 6 square ft. And the base length of the triangle ΔDEF is 4 ft.

The area of the triangle is given as

\rm Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times bh\\\\

Then the height of the triangle ΔDEF will be

\rm 6 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4 \times h\\\\h = \dfrac{12}{4}\\\\h  = 3

Then the scale factor will be

\rm SF = \dfrac{12}{4} = 3

Then the height of the triangle ΔABC will be

\rm \dfrac{H}{3} = 3\\\\H \ = 9

Then the area of the dilated triangle ΔABC will be

\rm Dilated \ Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 9\\\\Dilated \ Area = 54 \ ft^2

More about the dilation link is given below.
