Answer:

After 20 years 18.75 gm of sample will remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life is the time it takes for any amount of Cobalt-60 to decay to half the starting amount.

20 years is 4 times the half-life of 5 years. So there would be

(300 g) / 2⁴ = 18.75 g

remaining after 20 years.

In other words, after 5 years, 300 g decays to 150 g.

After another 5 years (total 10 years), 150 g decays to 75 g.

After another 5 years (total 15 years), 75 g decays to 37.5 g.

After another 5 years (total 20 years), 37.5 g decays to 18.75 g.

What does the line y=k-1/4a represent in y=a(x-h)^2+k, the standard form of equation for a parabola?
Vlad [161]
The answer should be the directrix because k represents the y-value of the vertex, and for this questions the parabola is probably facing upward, so the directrix is under the vertex.

You buy 1 1/4 yards of fabric and an $8 clothing pattern. Your total cost with a 6% sales tax added is $18.55. What is the cost
Paraphin [41]
First we can divide it by 106 then multiply it by 100 to get rid of the 6% sales tax, which now the cost of the stuff is $17.50. 
Next, we subtract 8 from this to represent the clothing pattern cost. Now it is $9.50.
The last stap to this is to divide it by 1 1/4 to get the final cost per yard: 
The fabric costs $7.60 per yard. Hope this helps!
