A hospital uses cobalt-60 in its radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients. Cobalt-60 has a half-life of 7

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

We have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the decay equation.

M_{f}=M_{i}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

  • M(f) and M(i) are the final and initial mass respectively
  • λ is the decay constant (ln(2)/t(1/2))
  • t(1/2) is the half-life of Co
  • t is the time at the final amount of m

M_{f}=228e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{7} 1.5}    

M_{f}=197\: g    

<u>Therefore, we have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.</u>

I hope it helps you!

A computer assembling company receives 24% of parts from supplier X, 36% of partsfrom supplier Y, and the remaining 40% of parts
Ivan

Answer:

thus the probability that a part was received from supplier Z , given that is defective is 5/6 (83.33%)

Step-by-step explanation:

denoting A= a piece is defective , Bi = a piece is defective from the i-th supplier and Ci= choosing a piece from the the i-th supplier

then

P(A)= ∑ P(Bi)*P(C) with i from 1 to 3

P(A)= ∑ 5/100 * 24/100 + 10/100 * 36/100 + 6/100 * 40/100 = 9/125

from the theorem of Bayes

P(Cz/A)= P(Cz∩A)/P(A)

where

P(Cz/A) = probability of choosing a piece from Z , given that a defective part was obtained

P(Cz∩A)= probability of choosing a piece from Z that is defective = P(Bz) = 6/100

therefore

P(Cz/A)= P(Cz∩A)/P(A) = P(Bz)/P(A)= 6/100/(9/125) = 5/6 (83.33%)

thus the probability that a part was received from supplier Z , given that is defective is 5/6 (83.33%)

Sandra wants to evaluate 2 cot Her work is shown below. What did she do wrong?
Natalija [7]

Answer: The first option.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this exercise you need to remember that:

- An even function is a function with the following property:

f(-x)=f(x)

- An odd function  is a function with this property:

f(-x)=-f(x)

2. By definition, the contangent is an odd function, therefore you have that:

cot(-θ)=-cot(θ)

Then:

2cot(-\frac{9\pi}{2})\neq2cot(\frac{9\pi}{2})

3. So, you can coclude that the first step is wrong. Therefore, the answer is the first option.

What is the 17th term in the arithmetic sequence in which a6 is 101 and a9 is 83
monitta

Answer:

The 17th term in arithmetic sequence is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula of arithmetic sequence is:

aₙ = a₁ + (n – 1)d.

We are given a₆ = 101 and a₉ = 83 and we need to find a₁₇

To find the term a₁₇ we should know a₁ and d. So we would find both

a₆ = a₁ +(6-1)d

101 = a₁ +(5)d

101 = a₁ +5d     eq(1)

and

a₉ = a₁ +(9-1)d    

83 = a₁ + 8d       eq(2)

Subtracting eq(2) from eq(1)

101 = a₁ +5d

83 = a₁ + 8d

-       -     -

__________

18 = -3d

=> d = 18/-3

=> d = -6

Putting value of d in eq(1)

101 = a₁ + 5d

101 = a₁ + 5(-3)

101 = a₁ -15

=> a₁ = 101+15

=> a₁ = 116

Now finding a₁₇:

aₙ = a₁ + (n – 1)d.

a₁₇ = 116 +(17-1)(-3)

a₁₇ = 116+(16)(-3)

a₁₇ = 116 - 48

a₁₇ = 68

So, the 17th term in arithmetic sequence is 68
