Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of  samarium-151  originally present (No) = 5 g

Mass of  samarium-151 discovered (N) = 0.625 grams

time taken = ?

half life of samarium-151 (t1/2) = 96.6 years

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

0.625/5 = (1/2)^t/96

0.125 = (1/2)^t/96

1/8 = (1/2)^t/96

(1/2)^3 = (1/2)^t/96

3 = t/96

t = 3 * 96

t = 288 years

The mass of europium-151 when the rock was discovered is obtained from;

Fraction of  samarium-151  left = 1/8

Fraction of  europium-151 formed = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Mass of  europium-151 = 7/8 * 5 = 4.375 g

Create an equivalent system of these equations and test your solution <br> x + y = 1<br> x 3y =9
ad-work [718]
An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides


assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent



ok, solve initial

x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation


-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8

-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2

sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3


x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)

if we test it in other one

2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep

2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep


solution is (3,-2)

2. A bank representative studies compound interest, so she can better serve
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  bank representative studies compound interest, so she can better serve  customers. She analyzes what happens when $2,000 earns interest several  different ways at a rate of 2% for 3 years.

a) the interest if it is computed using simple interest. 12.00

=\frac{2000(3)(12)}{100} \\=720 dollars

b) the interest if it is compounded annually.

=2000(1.12)^3-2000\\= 809.86 dollars

c) the interest if it is compounded semiannually

=2000(1.06)^6 -2000\\= 837.04

d) the interest if it is compounded quarterly.

=2000(1.03)^12 -2000\\= 851.52

e) the interest if it is compounded monthly.

=2000(1.01)^24 -2000\\= 861.54
