Answer:

s^-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

(S^-5)³

= s^5 × s^-5 × s^-5

= s^{-5-5-5}

= s^-15

Hence the resulting expression is s^-15

maxonik [38]

To serve 3 you half the recipe so divide each number by 2

3/4 cup/2 = 3/8 cup granulated sugar

1 cup/2 = 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

1/3teaspoon/2 = 1/6 teaspoon of vanilla

12 slices/2 = 6 slices of French bread

The core melt- down and explosions at the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl in 1986 released large amounts of strontium-90, which dec

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If $S(t)$ is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year $t$ , and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

$S(t+1)=(1-0.025)S(t)=0.975S(t)$

Let $S(0)=s$ be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

$S(t+1)=0.975S(t)=0.975^2S(t-1)=0.975^3S(t-2)=\cdots=0.975^{t+1}S(0)$

or simply

$S(t)=0.975^ts$

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

$S(50)=0.975^{50}s\approx0.282s$

or about 28% of the original amount.

We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

$S(t)=se^{kt}$

where $t$ is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount $s$ decays after 1 year, so that

$0.975s=se^k\implies k=\ln0.975$

Then after 50 years, we have

$S(50)=se^{50k}\approx0.282s$
