The time since the rock reached its closure temperature is _____



years. When the rock was discovered, it had _____



grams of europium-151.

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

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest!!
Semmy [17]
The answer is D, here’s why:

You know the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
mx being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

y=-4/7x + 9 is already in that form.

A is not the answer because the y is supposed to be by itself.
B is not the answer because again, the y is not by itself.
C is not the answer because the y is also not by itself.

In the slope-intercept form, the y must be by itself and the slope (mx) and the y-intercept must be on the other side.

Hope this helps.

A sample of size 200 will be taken at random from an infinite population. given that the population proportion is 0.60, the prob
Musya8 [376]

Let p be the population proportion. <span>
We have p=0.60, n=200 and we are asked to find P(^p<0.58). </span>
The thumb of the rule is since n*p = 200*0.60 and n*(1-p)= 200*(1-0.60) = 80 are both at least greater than 5, then n is considered to be large and hence the sampling distribution of sample proportion-^p will follow the z standard normal distribution. Hence this sampling distribution will have the mean of all sample proportions- U^p = p = 0.60 and the standard deviation of all sample proportions- δ^p = √[p*(1-p)/n] = √[0.60*(1-0.60)/200] = √0.0012. 
So, the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58 
= P(^p<0.58) 
= P{[(^p-U^p)/√[p*(1-p)/n]<[(0.58-0.60)/√0... 
= P(z<-0.58) 
= P(z<0) - P(-0.58<z<0) 
= 0.5 - 0.2190 
= 0.281 
<span>So, there is 0.281 or 28.1% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58. </span>

What are the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial?<br> 3u+12u'-7u* +1
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the given polynomial is

3u + 12 {u}^{2}  - 7 {u}^{3}  + 1

We then rewrite in decreasing powers of u, to get:

- 7 {u}^{3}  + 12 {u}^{2}  + 3u + 1

The leading term is

- 7 {u}^{3}

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

The leading coefficient is -7.
