Answer:

68.40/100 X 109 = 74.56

74.56-68.40 = 6.16

total tax = $6.16

A storage tank contains a liquid radioactive element with a half-life of 96 years. It will be relatively safe for the contents t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The tank must remain intact for 1183 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for decay:

The amount of a substance after t years is given by:

A(t) = A(0)e^{rt}

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

A storage tank contains a liquid radioactive element with a half-life of 96 years.

This means that A(96) = 0.5A(0), and we use this to find r.

A(t) = A(0)e^{rt}

0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{96r}

e^{96r} = 0.5

\ln{e^{96r}} = \ln{0.5}

96r = \ln{0.5}

r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{96}

r = -0.0072

So

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}

It will be relatively safe for the contents to leak from the tank when 0.02% of the radioactive element remains. How long must the tank remain intact for this storage procedure to be safe?

This is t for which A(t) = 0.0002A(0). So

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}

0.0002A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.0072t}

e^{-0.0072t} = 0.0002

\ln{e^{-0.0072t}} = \ln{0.0002}

-0.0072t = \ln{0.0002}

t = -\frac{\ln{0.0002}}{0.0072}

t = 1183

The tank must remain intact for 1183 years.

If f(x) = ln(2), then limx--->2 (f(2)-f(x))/x-2
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

  • as written, -2
  • with denominator parentheses, 0
  • with f(x)=ln(x) and denominator parentheses, -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem as stated asks for the limit as x approaches 2 of (0/x) -2.

As written, the limit is (0/2) -2 = -2.

<u>Explanation</u>: f(x) is a constant, so the numerator is 0. The ratio 0/x -2 is defined as -2 everywhere except x=0. So, the value at x=2 is 0/2 -2 = -2.

__

If you mean (f(2) -f(x))/(x -2), that limit is the limit of 0/(x-2) = 0 as x approaches 2.

<u>Explanation</u>: f(x) is a constant, so the numerator is 0. The ratio 0/(x-2) is zero everywhere except at x=2. The left limit and right limit are both 0 as x approaches 2. Since these limits agree, the limit is said to be 0.

__

If you mean f(x) = ln(x) and you want the limit of (f(2) -f(x))/(x -2), that value will be -1/2.

<u>Explanation</u>: The value of the ratio is 0/0 at x=2, so we can find the limit using L'Hôpital's rule. Differentiating numerator and denominator, we have ...

  lim = (-1/x)/(1)

The value is -1/2 at x=2.

sladkih [1.3K]
Answer:
(5x-1)(6x^2+1)

Solution:
6x^2(5x-1)+5x-1
=30x^3-6x^2+5x-1
=(30x^3-6x^2) + (5x-1)
=6x^2(5x-1)+(5x-1)
=(5x-1)(6x^2+1)
