Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the half life formula

N=N_0e^{kt} where N is the amount after decay, No is the initial amount, e is Euler's number, k is the decay constant, and t is the time in minutes. For us, the first equation looks like this:

7=12e^{k(70)} and we will solve that for k and then use that value of k in the second equation to find time.

Begin by dividing 7 by 12 to get

\frac{7}{12}=e^{k(70)} Now take the natural log of both sides since the natural log and that e are inverses. The e then disappears:

ln(\frac{7}{12})=k(70)

Plug the left side into your calculator and then set it equal to the right side, giving us:

-.5389965007=70k

Divide both sides by 70 to get the k value of

k = -.00769995

Now the second equation looks like this:

2=12e^{(-.00769995)t where t is our only unknown now that we know k.

Begin by dividing both sides by 12 to get

\frac{1}{6}=e^{-.00769995t and take the natural log of both sides again to eliminate the e:

ln(\frac{1}{6})=-.00769995t

Take care of the left side on your calculator to get

-1.791759469 = -.00769995t and divide both sides by -.00769995 to get

t = 232.697 minutes

Percent means per one-hundred....

48(p/100)=12

I. A rhombus is a special type of square. II. A rectangle is a special type of rhombus. III. A trapezoid is a special type of pa
Kobotan [32]

Answer: I. only

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation :

II. False. a rectangle is a special type of rhombus since a rhombus has all sides equal, while a rectangle has all angles equal. A rhombus has opposite angles equal, while a rectangle has opposite sides equal.  The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at equal angles, while the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length.

I.  True. A square is a special case of a rhombus, because it has four equal-length sides and goes above and beyond that to also have four right angles. Every square you see will be a rhombus, but not every rhombus you meet will be a square.

III. False.  Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides; parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid can never be a parallelogram. The correct answer is that all trapezoids are quadrilaterals.

Brenda had bowling scores of 92, 110, 85, 78, and 96. She completed the steps below to determine the score she needs in her next
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<u>Hence final answer is B: Step 2.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the total points needed to score in six games: 96x6=576

Justification:

Product of 96 and 6 is 576 which is same number found by Brenda. So step 1 is correct.


Step 2: Find the total points scored: 92+110+85+78=365

Justification:

Sum of total points scored by Brenda is 92+110+85+78= 461.

But she got different value 365.

Hence step 2 is wrong.


<u>Hence final answer is B: Step 2.</u>

Dawson's annual premium will be $2,462.40. This can be found by going across from "Male 40-44" over to "20-year coverage" which is $13.68. Since $13.68 is per $1000 of coverage, you would multiply it by 180 to get $2,462.40.

Rachel's checks I believe would have a deduction of $63.14.
