Answer:

the time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is 38,400,000 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 5 g

half life, t = 16,000,000 unit

The time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is calculated as;

mass remaining time

5 g 0

2.5 g 16,000,000

1.25 g 32,000,000

0.625 g 48,000,000

Interpolate to obtain the time at 1 gram;

1.25 g ---------------------------------- 32,000,000

1 g --------------------------------------------- x

0.625 g --------------------------------------- 48,000,000

$\frac{1.25 - 1}{1.25 - 0.625} = \frac{32,000,000 - x}{32,000,000 - 48,000,000} \\\\\frac{0.25}{0.625} = \frac{32,000,000 - x}{-16,000,000} \\\\-4,000,000= 20,000,000 - 0.625x\\\\0.625x = 20,000,000 + 4,000,000\\\\0.625x = 24,000,000\\\\x = \frac{24,000,000}{0.625} \\\\x = 38,400,000$

Therefore, the time taken for the element to remain 1 gram is 38,400,000 unit.

A section of concrete pipe 30m long has an inside diameter of 1.2m and an outside diameter of 1.8m. what is the volume of concre

Fudgin [204]

length of pipe= 30m

Inside dia. = 1.2m

Outside dia. = 1.8m

Volume of concrete= (outside dia. - inside dia.)h

V= (pi)
v= [(3.14*0.9*0.9)-(3.14*0.6*0.6)]30

v= (3.3534-1.1304)30
v=(2.233)30 = 66.690m cube

since it's volume the answer 66.690 is in cubic meters.

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

A bakery sells packages of 10 bagels for $3.69. If the backery starts selling that bagels in packages of 12, how much would you

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

$4.43

Step-by-step explanation:

10 bagels cost $3.69. 1 bagel costs $3.69/10=$0.369

12 bagels cost $0.369×12=$4.43
