Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day. If an experiment starts out with 810 grams of

Element X, write a function to represent the mass of the sample after tt days, where the hourly rate of change can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage rate of change per hour, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answer:

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation of decay:

The exponential equation for the amount of a substance is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Hourly rate of change:

Decreases 26% by day. A day has 24 hours. This means that A(24) = (1-0.26)A(0) = 0.74A(0); We use this to find r.

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

0.74A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{24}

(1-r)^{24} = 0.74

\sqrt[24]{(1-r)^{24}} = \sqrt[24]{0.74}

1 - r = (0.74)^{\frac{1}{24}}

1 - r = 0.9875

r = 1 - 0.9875 = 0.0125

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

Starts out with 810 grams of Element X

This means that A(0) = 810

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day.

This means that we use, for this equation, r = 0.26.

The equation is:

A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t

A(t) = 810(1 - 0.26)^t

A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is A(t) = 810(0.74)^t

What is an absolute value? What does it do? When would we need to use an absolute value
Nana76 [90]
Absolute Value Absolute Value means ...

... only how far a number is from zero:

<span> <span><span> </span> <span> <span> "6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero. So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span> </span> </span></span>

More Examples:

<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span> No Negatives!

So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero).

Absolute Value Symbol

To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put "|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right side of a keyboard), like these examples:

<span> <span><span> |−5| = 5 |7| = 7 </span> </span></span> Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>

The probability of winning a certain lottery is 1/77076 for people who play 908 times find the mean number of wins
Alex73 [517]

The mean is 0.0118 approximately. So option C is correct

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , The probability of winning a certain lottery is \frac{1}{77076} for people who play 908 times

We have to find the mean number of wins

\text { The probability of winning a lottery }=\frac{1}{77076}

Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times.

Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.

n=908, \text { probability } \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{77076}

\text { Then, binomial mean }=n \times p

\begin{array}{l}{\mu=908 \times \frac{1}{77076}} \\\\ {\mu=\frac{908}{77076}} \\\\ {\mu=0.01178}\end{array}

Hence, the mean is 0.0118 approximately. So option C is correct.

How many different ways can four team members from the group of fifteen be lined up for a photograph?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

32760

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation of 15 objects taken 4 at a time.  To calculate this, we use the formula:

_nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

In our case, n is 15 and r is 4:

_{15}P_4=\frac{15!}{(15-4)!}=\frac{15!}{11!}=32760
