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

Mathematics
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
5 0

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

Determine whether 6 is a solution of the equation 2x - 5 = 1.
kupik [55]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if x = 6 is a solution, substitute x = 6 into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then it is a solution.

2(6) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 ≠ 1

Then x = 6 is not a solution of the equation since a false statement results after replacing x with 6 (B)

The length of a rectangle in centimeters is two more than thrice its width. a) Write an expression, in the simplest form, for th
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 8 x +4

Length of the rectangle = 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle as 'x' units.

So, length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 x.

We can set up expression for length as 3 x+2.

Now, perimeter is sum of all side lengths of the rectangle.

So, perimeter = x+x+3 x+2 +3 x+2

Combine like terms,

Perimeter = 8 x+4

Now, it is given perimeter is 36cm

So,

8 x+4=36

Subtract both sides 4

8 x=32

Divide both sides by 8

x=4

So, width of the rectangle =4

Length =3(4) +2=14

What is the slope of this graph?<br><br> −1/3<br><br> 3<br><br> 1/3<br><br> −3
FromTheMoon [43]
I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices: If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph) If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1 If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3 And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1 (If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3) Hope that helps!
