Answer:

y = -8x -15

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to start with the point-slope form when you are given a point and a slope.

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

For the given line, this equation is ...

y +7 = -8(x +1)

y = -8x -8 -7 . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 7

y = -8x -15 . . . . . slope-intercept form

the half-life of strontium-90 is approximately 29 years. how much of a 500 g sample of strontium-90 will remain after 58 years

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: 125 g

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$A = P_o\cdot e^{kt}\\\\\text{First, use the given information to find k:}\\\\\bullet A=\dfrac{1}{2}P_o\\\\\bullet k = unknown\\\\\bullet t=29\text{ years}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}P_o=P_o\cdot e^{k(29)}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=e^{k(29)}\qquad divided\ both\ sides\ by\ P_o\\\\\\ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=ln\bigg(e^{k(29)}\bigg)\qquad applied\ ln\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\\ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=29k\qquad simplified-ln\ and\ e\ cancel\ out\\\\\\\dfrac{ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}{29}=k\qquad divided\ 29\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\\-0.0239=k$

$\text{Now, use the following in the equation to solve for A:}\\\\\bullet A=unknown\\\bullet P_o=500\\\bullet k=-0.0239\\\bullet t=58\text{ years}\\\\A=500\cdot e^{(-0.0239)(58)}\\\\.\quad=500\cdot e^{-1.386}\\\\.\quad=125$
