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

What is the equation in point slope form for the line that is parallel to y=-8x-12 that contains the point (-3,3)
belka [17]

Answer:

The equation of a parallel line in point-slope form would be y - 3 = -8(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we must first note that the original slope is -8. Parallel lines have the same slope, so we know that the new line will also have the slope of -8.

Given this information, we can use the point and slope and put them into the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -8(x - -3)

y - 3 = -8(x + 3)

Let a and b be real numbers satisfying a^3 - 3ab^2 = 47 and b^3 - 3a^2 b = 52. Find a^2 + b^2.
boyakko [2]

Answer: a²+b² = -99/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²

a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1

b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2

From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3

From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4

Adding 3 and 4, we have;

a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)

a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99

(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99

Taking the difference we have

- 2(a²+b²) = 99

a²+b² = -99/2
