Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8

vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

$f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}$

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}$

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding $\frac{3}{8}$ to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function $f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8} .$

How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with

babymother [125]

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

$N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}$

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

$N_{0}$ = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

$N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t}$ or more simply $N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }$

$t_{h}$ = time of the half-life

We know that $N_{0}$ = 35,912, t = 14,680, and $t_{h}$ =7,340

Plug these into the equation:

$N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }$

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.
