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

Mathematics

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

Answer:

$9450

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use compound interest formula:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is future amount [what we want to figure out]

P is present amount [9000]

r is rate of interest [since we want for 6 months, the annual interest divided by 2 is r. So r = 10/2 = 5% or 0.05]

t is the time [ the time period is for 6 months so t = 1 since we already converted the interest rate to 6 month chunk]

Putting in formula, we get:

F=P(1+r)^t\\F=9000(1+0.05)^1\\F=9000(1.05)\\F=9450

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point P and has the given slope m.
Tpy6a [65]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y -4 = -1/3(x -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is useful for this.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line through point (h, k) with slope m

You are given (h, k) = (9, 4) and m = -1/3. Putting these values into the form gives the equation ...

  y -4 = -1/3(x -9)
