Calcium-41 is being used in studies testing the effectiveness of drugs for preventing osteoporosis. The half-life of calcium-41

is 100,000 years. If 20 grams of calcium-41 are present initially, how long would it take until only 2 grams
remains?​

Answer:

332,193 years

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, we are to calculate the time in an half life question, hence, the formula is given as

t = In(Nt/No) ÷ -(In2/t½)

Where

t = time is takes for an substance to decay or reduce

Nt = Amount of sample after time = 2g

No = Initial amount of sample = 20g

t½ = Half life = 100,000 years

Hence,

t = In(2/20) ÷ (In 2/ 100,000)

t = 332192.80948874 years

Approximately = 332,193 years

You would just plug the values into the slope-intercept formula which is y=mx+b. m is representative of the slope, and b is representative of the y-intercept. The equation would be y=-9x+5

PLZ PLZZZZ HELP ASAP!!!!! <br> Explain the error: 144x2 - 100 (12x + 10)(12x - 10) 2(6x + 5)(6x - 5)

Answer:

  a factor of 2 is shown, but 4 was factored out

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares is factored as ...

  a² -b² = (a +b)(a -b)

Then the given difference of squares factors as ...

  144x² -100 = (12x)² -10² = (12x +10)(12x -10)

Each of these factors has a factor of 2 that can be factored out:

  = (2(6x +5))(2(6x -5))

  = (2·2)(6x +5)(6x -5)

  = 4(6x +5)(6x -5)

The first factor should be 4, not 2.

D, Each x value has one and only one y value.; This is because if an x-value repeats itself then it is not a function. You can test this on a graph by drawing a vertical line on it. If the vertical line intercepts the line more than once anywhere on the graph, then it is not a function.

Reserve Problems Chapter 4 Section 5 Problem 2 A laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest lap
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a laptop company claims up to 10.1 hours of wireless web usage for its newest laptop battery life. However, reviews on this laptop shows many complaints about low battery life. A survey on battery life reported by customers shows that it follows a normal distribution with mean 9.5 hours and standard deviation 30 minutes.

If X is the battery life then X is N(9.5, 0.5)

(we convert into one unit for calculations purpose here hours)

a) the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours

=P(X\geq 10.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{10.1-9.5}{0.5} )\\= P(Z\geq 1.2)\\=0.1151

we get the probability that the battery life is at least 10.1 hours is 0.1151
