Answer:

0.75 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t₁/₂

n = 6/6

n = 1

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the sample remaining after 6 years (i.e 1 half-life) as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 1

Amount remaining (N) =.?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2¹ × 1.5

N = 1/2 × 1.5

N = 0.5 × 1.5

N = 0.75 mg

Thus, 0.75 mg of the sample is remaining.

Find the distance between the pair of points.(-5, -8) and (4,4). What is the distance?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

label a graph doing -5,-8, and 4,4  use the formula which is

d = ( x 2 − x 1 )^2 + ( y 2 − y 1 )^2

 x2-x1 = 4–2= 2 Y2–Y1 = 1–3 = -2 d=√(2)^2+(-2)^2 =√4+4 = √8 d= 2√2

so this is the same thing the person above me did but I've been typing this out so long I want to go ahead and submit anyway

A solid oblique pyramid has a regular pentagonal base. The base has an edge length of 2.16 ft and an area of 8 ft2. Angle ACB me
choli [55]
Volume of the pyramid:
V = 1/3 · B · h
B = 8 ft²
tan 30° = height / 7√3
1/√3 = height / 7√3
height = 7 ft
V =  1/3 · 8 · 7 = 18.67 ft³ ≈ 19 ft³
Answer : D ) 19 ft³

In each box is a step in the process of solving a max/min problem like the one in Question 8. Number these steps in order (1-8)
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The steps are numbered below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a maximum/minimum problem, the steps are as follows.

1. Make a drawing.

2. Assign variables to quantities that change.

3. Identify and write down a formula for the quantity that is being optimized.

4. Identify the endpoints, that is, the domain of the function being optimized.

5. Identify the constraint equation.

6. Use the constraint equation to write a new formula for the quantity being optimized that is a function of one variable.

7. Find the derivative and then the critical points of the function being optimized.

8. Evaluate the y-values of the critical points and endpoints by plugging them into the function being optimized. The largest y- value is the global maximum, and the smallest y-value is the global minimum.
