Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 11 minutes. If there are 870 grams

Mathematics
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago

Answer:

27.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ------------------ Equation 1

From the equation,

R = mass of Element X before radioactive decay, R' = mass of element X after radioactive decay, a = Time taken, b = half life.

Given: R = 870 grams, R' = 154 grams, b = 11 minutes.

Substitute these values into equation 1

870/154 = 2ᵃ/¹¹

(870/154)¹¹ = 2ᵃ

Solve for a

2ᵃ = (5.649)¹¹

2ᵃ = 187061.26

Taking the logarithm of both side,

Log2ᵃ = Log(187061.26)

⇒ a = log(187061.26)/log2

a = 8.272/0.301

a = 27.5 minutes

This is how I would do it:
-8x=28-4y divide the entire equation by 4
-2x=7-y Put y back on the left and put x on the right 
y=7-2x.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- tangent angle MLK is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

\frac{1}{2} (KN - KM) = 70° ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

KN - KM = 140°

KN - 61° = 140° ( add 61° to both sides )

KN = 201° → C

250 = 167.93 + x

[She needs $250, she has $167.93, and she needs x more. x represents the amount of money she still needs in order to get 250]

250 = 167.93 + x Subtract 167.93 on both sides

250 - 167.93 = 167.93 + x - 167.93

250 - 167.93 = x

82.07 = x


She needs $82.07 more



Or you could have done:


250 - 167.93 = 82.07

Identify the Y intercept of the the equation 5x+8y =120
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(0,15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y-intercept is when X=0, so plug in x=0 into the given equation. 5(0)+8y=120. Now solve for Y. 8y=120, y=15. So When x=0, y=15: this is the coordinate (0,15).
