The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass

krok68 [10]

So, 0.5^5 is 0.03125
multiply that by 125 and get your answer.
*3.90625* (4)
just saying, I got the 0.5^5 thing because 5 is the number of half-lives (x) and 0.5 is the rate of loss (or whatever its called).
If it were to gain, you would put 1.5

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12

miskamm [114]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

$\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4$

Maria makes money by commission rates. She gets 15% of everything she sells. If Maria sold $23000 worth of items this month, wha

Verizon [17]

To find 15% of 23000,
23000 x (15/100) = 23000 x 0.15 = 3450
So her salary for the month would be $3450.

Sketch a function in this question.

Mandarinka [93]

It has to have x decreasing and y decreasing, along with x getting bigger while y gets smaller, and it has to cross x at -5, 0, and 4 so this is your graph

What is the measurement of ∠G? Show your work.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles add to 180 degrees

30+110 +x = 180

Combine like terms

140 +x = 180

Subtract 140 from each side

140+x-140 =180-140

x = 40
