Answer:

s = 3x - (1/2)y

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is 4s, where s is the side length. Here,

12x - 2y = 4s, and so s = 3x - (1/2)y

Determine if the event described is independent or dependent.

WINSTONCH [101]

They are dependent events, because the probability of the second event depends on the result of the first event

If you replace the marble before picking up the second marble, then the first event didn't affect the second result ant the events were independent.

Given that you did not replace the marble, the second pick up has different probailities depending on the first result.

What figure is a dilation of Figure A by a factor of 2?

stepan [7]

Answer: Bottom Right

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor is 2 all the lengths of the original should be multiplied by that scale factor. Don’t fall for the top left because 2•4 doesn’t equal 6. The top right is just completely off. The bottom left is if the factor is .5

A breeder reactor converts uranium-238 into an isotope of plutonium-239 at a rate proportional to the amount of uranium-238 pres

topjm [15]

Let $U(t)$ denote the amount of uranium-238 in the reactor at time $t$ . As conversion to plutonium-239 occurs, the amount of uranium will decrease, so the conversion rate is negative. Because the rate is proportional to the current amount of uranium, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}{\mathrm dt}=-kU$

where $k>0$ is constant. Separating variables and integrating both sides gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dU}U=-k\,\mathrm dt\implies\ln|U|=-kt+C\implies U=Ce^{-kt}$

Suppose we start some amount $u$ . This means that at time $t=0$ we have $U(0)=u$ , so that

$u=Ce^{-0k}\implies C=u\implies U=ue^{-kt}$

We're given that after 10 years, 99.97% of the original amount of uranium remains. This means (if $t$ is taken to be in years) for some starting amount $u$ ,

$0.9997u=ue^{-10k}\implies k=-\dfrac{\ln(0.9997)}{10}$
