What's the difference between multiples and factors and how do I remember the difference?

A factor is a number that leaves no remainder behind after it divides the specific number. On the contrary, multiple is a number reached by multiplying a given number by another.

Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Margaret [11]

Answer:

w = -7z/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our goal is to isolate w

1. subtract 3w from both sides to get 2w+9z = 2z

2. Subtract 9z from both sides to get 2w = -7z

3. Divide both sides by 2 to get w = -7z/2

We cannot simplify further, so this is our answer.

HELP QUICK ME QUICK PLEASE THANKS

To solve this problem, we need to know the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The formula is $a_{n}$ = t₁ + (n-1)d, with $a_{n}$ being the nth term, t₁ being the first term, and d being the distance between terms. Now we can substitute values to figure out what $a_{n}$ is. When substituting, the equation becomes:

$a_{n}$ = 12 + 29(-6)
$a_{n}$ = -162

That means that the 30th term in this arithmetic sequence is -162.

Plutonium-240 decays according to the function L where o

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt$

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

$\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}$
