5 0

Answer:

k = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies inversely as x

Then y = k/x

y = 8, x = 4

8= k/4

Cross multiply

k = 8 × 4

k = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies inversely as x.

\therefore \: y \:\alpha\: \frac{1}{x}\\\\ \therefore \: y =\frac{k}{x}\:\:\:(k = constant)\\\\ \therefore \: xy = k \\   when \: y=8 \:  and \:  x=4, \: k = ? \\  4 \times 8 = k \\ \therefore \: k = 32

'Polonium-210 is a radioactive substance with a half-life of 138 days. If a nuclear
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

  • <u>59.0891 g (rounded to 4 decimal places)</u>

Explanation:

<em>Half-life time</em> of a radioactive substance is the time for half of the substance to decay.

Thus, the amount of the radioactive substance that remains after a number n of half-lives is given by:

  • A=A_0\cdot (1/2)^n

Where:

  • A is the amount that remains of the substance after n half-lives have elapses, and
  • A₀ is the starting amount of the substance.

In this problem, you have that the half-live for your sample (polonium-210) is 138 days and the number of days elapsed is 330 days. Thus, the number of half-lives elapsed is:

  • 330 days / 138 days = 2.3913

Therefore, the amount of polonium-210 that will be left in 330 days is:

  • A=310{g}\cdot (1/2)^{2.3913}=59.0891g

Find the measure of each marked angle!!
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

60 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 20 = 7x + 4 (Corresponding angles)

10x - 7x = 20 + 4

3x = 24

x = 8

substituting the values,

10(8) - 20

80 - 20

60

similarly the other angle is 60 since they are corresponding angles.

What is the graph of the function? <br><br> f(x) = 2x2
spayn [35]
Let's plug in a few points to see which graph belongs to the function f(x) = 2x^2

Let's say x =0, let's find y!
2(0)^2 = 2(0) = 0

So one point on our line is (0.0)

Just finding this point right here eliminates 3 of the answer choices. Your answer is the graph that goes through the point (0,0)

For your added convenience, I have attached the graph. :)
