Suppose an isotope has a half-life of 10 years. If you start with 50 grams of the isotope, how much of it will you have in 10 ye

Goshia [24]

The half life of a decaying substance is defined as the time at which the substance decreases to one-half of its original value. In this case, given hlf-life of 10 years and an original mass of 50 grams, after 10 years, the isotope mass becomes 50*0.5 or 25 grams. Answer is B.

A pool has 2 pipes, one to fill and one to empty it. Ms.Charles wants to fill the pool, but she mistakenly turns on both pipes a

dolphi86 [110]

-- The filler pipe can fill 1/6 of the pool every hour.

-- The drainer pipe can drain 1/10 of the pool every hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, the filler pipe
will win eventually, because it finishes more of the pool in an hour
than what the drain pipe can finish in an hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, then every hour,
1/6 of the pool fills and 1/10 of it empties. The difference is (1/6) - (1/10).

To do that subtraction, we need a common denominator.
The smallest denominator that works is 30.

 1/6 = 5/30

 1/10 = 3/30 .

So in every hour, 5/30 of the pool fills, and 3/30 of the pool empties.
The result of both at the same time is that 2/30 = 1/15 fills each hour.

If nobody notices what's going on and closes the drain pipe, it will take
15 hours to fill the pool.

If the drain pipe had not been open, the filler pipe alone could have filled
the pool 2-1/2 times in that same 15 hours. With both pipes open,
1-1/2 pool's worth of water went straight down the drain during that time,
and it was wasted.

I would say that the school should take the cost of 1-1/2 poolsworth out
of Ms. Charles' pay at the rate of $5 a week. I would, but that would
guarantee her more job security than she deserves after pulling a stunt
like that.

I hope this did not take place in California.

a phone company offers two monthly charge, in Plan a, the customer pays a monthly fee of $40.10 and then an additional 4 cents p

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

x > 1.7 minutes

The monthly telephone usage amounts so that plan A is not greater than plan B are all greater than 1.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two plans must be defined by the equation of the line y = mx + b, where

y = plan

m = slope or payment of additional cents per minute

x = time expressed in minutes

For Plan A, we have

y = 4x + 40.10 (Equation A)

While plan B is defined as

y = 7x + 35 (Equation B)

Plan A must be less than Plan B,

4x + 40.10 < 7x + 35

We put the “x” on the left side and the independent terms on the right side,

4x - 7x < 35 - 40.10

We add algebraically,

-3x < -5.10

We multiply the equation by -1 to eliminate the two “minus” signs, changing the inequality sign,

3x > 5.10

We isolate x,

x > 5.10 / 3

We solve, calculating the value of x,

x > 1.7 minutes

The monthly telephone usage amounts so that plan A is not greater than plan B are all greater than 1.7 minutes.

Please some help for question 1

o-na [289]

Answer:

f (3) is equal to 31

Step-by-step explanation:

f (3) means that x is equal to 3 [hence f (x) ---> f (3)]

Plugin 3 into all the x values to solve:

4(3)^2 - 2(3) + 1

4(9) - 6 + 1

36 - 6 + 1

30 + 1

f (3) is equal to 31
