You go to the doctor and he injects you with 13 milligrams of radioactive dye. After 12 minutes, 4.75 milligrams of dye remain i

n you system. To leave the doctor's office, you must pass through a radiation detector without sounding the alarm. If the detector will sound will sound the alarm whenever more than 2 milligrams of the dye are in your system, how long will your visit to the doctor take, assuming you were given the dye as soon as you arrived and the amount of dye decayse exponentially?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the model for this situation using the points given. If you are given 13 mg immediately, the coordinate point for that is (0, 13), where the x coordinate is the time in minutes and the y coordinate is the amount of dye in mg.

If after 12 minutes, 4.75 mg remain, the coordinate point for that is (12, 4.75). Just so you know, the time unit always goes in for x, never for y.

Now that we have these coordinates we are going to use them as a system and find the model. Begin with the point (0, 13) in

A=a(b)^t where A is the amount left in the body, a is the initial amount injected, b is the rate at which it decays, and t is the time in minutes. Plug in the first set of coordinates:

13=a(b)^0 and since anything raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, we have

13 = a. Now we can use that and write another equation with the other set of coordinates to solve for b:

4.75=13(b)^{12} and divide both sides by 13 (don't round anything yet) to get

.3653846154 = b¹². Now take the 12th root of both sides (you need a scientific calculator for this) to get that

b = .9195228407  Yikes.

Now for the model, using the fact that a = 13 and b = .9195228407:

A=13(.9195228407)^t  

We are told that the amount that we are allowed to leave with still remaining in our system cannot be more than 2 mg, so we sub in a 2 for A:

2=13(.9195228407)^t and begin by dividing away 13 to get

.1538461538=.9195228407^t  Take the natural log of both sides, which allows us to bring the t out front:

ln(.1538461538) = t ln(.9195228407) and finally divide by ln(.9195228407) to get

t = 22.3 minutes

Revolution in Russia is the lession
atroni [7]

Answer: The answers are in the photo. (They are color-coded.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A monarchy, democracy, and communism are different ways to run a government.

A monarchy is usually ruled by someone of royalty, like a king or queen. Typically, they inherit all the power and get to make all the decisions, whether their people like it or not.

In a democracy, the people have many liberties and rights. They get to vote for candidates that represent them that could get elected as a president, minister, mayor, etc. Those elected have to listen to what their people want.

In communism, the government gets to make all the decisions whether it benefits the people or not. This is runned by a single-party, meaning no other parties are allowed to be developed or run.

Find the angle measure of b
Lilit [14]
13) b=145 because a line equals 180° so you subtract 35° from 180°
14) b=61 because it as right angle so 90 minus 29 equals 61
15) b= 23 because 360 is a full circle so you add 243 and 94 and get 337 then subtract 337 from 360
16)b=131 because you subtract 49 from 180
17) b=90 because you subtract 90 from 180
18) b=73 because of vertical angles

What is the conversion?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor in the box is the product ...

  \dfrac{1\,\text{kPa}}{1000\,\text{Pa}}\cdot\left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3=10^{-9}\,\dfrac{\text{kPa m}^3}{\text{Pa cm}^3}

_____

The purpose of a conversion factor is to multiply by 1 in the form of a ratio that changes the units. We know that 1000 Pa = 1 kPa, so the ratio (1 kPa)/(1000 Pa) is the ratio of two equal quantities. It has the value 1 and will change units from Pa to kPa.

Likewise, 100 cm = 1 m, so (1 m)/(100 cm) will change the units from cm to m. However the given expression uses cm³, so we need to multiply by the conversion factor 3 times. That factor is ((1 m)/(100 cm))³ = (1 m³)/(10⁶ cm³).

To choose the appropriate conversion factor, look at the units you have (Pa, cm) and the units you want (kPa, m). Find the relationship these have to each other, and write the ratio so that it will cancel the units you have and leave the units you want.

When SI units are involved the prefixes help you out. k = kilo = 1000; c = centi = 1/100. It is worthwhile to get to know them.
