A certain radioactive isotope has a half-life of 15 days. If one is to make a table showing the half-life decay of a sample of t

his isotope from 32 grams to 1 gram; list the time (in days, starting with t = 0) in the first column and the mass remaining (in grams) in the second column, which type of sequence is used in the first column and which type of sequence is used in the second column?

A half-life of the isotope is 15 days and at start its mass is 32 g.
A table:
              t:                 m:
              0                32 g
             15               16 g
             30                 8 g
             45                 4 g
             60                 2 g
             75                 1 g
In the first column is used an arithmetic sequence ( a 1 = 0, d = 15 ).
In the second column is used a geometric sequence ( a 1 = 32, r = 1/2 )

Which relationships describe angles 1 and 2?
NikAS [45]

Supplementary angles.

This is because supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees, and these two angles would add up to 180 degrees.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day
nadezda [96]

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening

In this question:

Event A: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

So

P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

What is the solution to the system of equations?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

x=-4 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

−3x−8y=20;y=5x+19

Rewrite equations:

y=5x+19;−3x−8y=20

Step: Solve y=5x+19for y:

y=5x+19

Step: Substitute5x+19foryin−3x−8y=20:

−3x−8y=20

−3x−8(5x+19)=20

−43x−152=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−43x−152+152=20+152(Add 152 to both sides)

−43x=172

−43x

−43

=

172

−43

(Divide both sides by -43)

x=−4

Step: Substitute−4forxiny=5x+19:

y=5x+19

y=(5)(−4)+19

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−4 and y=−1

Function help please
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The first table represents a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For it to be a function, there needs to be 1 unique y value of 1 unique x value.

  • Looking at 2nd table, we see x value of -5 is mapped to 2 different y values of -5 and 5. So this is not a function.
  • Looking at 3rd table, we see x value of -2 is mapped to 2 different y values of 2 and 4. So this is not a function.
  • Looking at 4th table, we see x value of -4 is mapped to 2 different y values of 2 and 0. So this is not a function as well.

Looking at table 1, there are no duplicate x values and each of the 4 x values map to different values. So the first table represents a function.
