Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

The given equation not represent a proportional relationship, because the line not pass through the origin

In a proportional relationship the value of b (y-intercept) is equal to zero

Change the fraction 3/4 to a percent.

Levart [38]

There is 100% in 1 since this is three parts of 1 we will have to divide 100 by 4 then multiply it by 3.
After you do all the math you will get 0.75.
You can convert this to a percent by just removing the point and the zero and adding a percent at the end.
The answer is going to be 75%

The half-life of a certain substance is 20 years. How much of a 100 gram sample will be left after 20 years?

cluponka [151]

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &20\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{20}{20}}\implies A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1\implies A=50$
