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

0.48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.

Step 2

Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]

Given the following linear function sketch the graph of the function and find the domain and range f(x)=-3x+7
natka813 [3]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

see attached for a graph

domain and range: all real numbers

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The function is written in slope-intercept form, showing that it has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of +7. The y-intercept (0, 7) is a point on the line, as is a point 1 unit to the right and down 3 units, (1, 4).

The graph will be the line through these two points.

_____

As with any odd-degree polynomial function, both domain and range are all real numbers: (-∞, ∞).
