Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
Answer:
x=.83
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you have to get x by itself.
You will have to divide 250 on both sides to get x by itself.
x=.83 is your answer.
1/10 for Hugh to be first and after he is picked only 9 students remain so 1/9 for stu and after he is picked only 8 remain to be chosen so 1/8 for lou. The chance of all three happening is 1/10×1/9×1/8=1/720 this is the probability that 3 triplets will be chosen in that exact order out of 10 students
Answer:
x = 22.62 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions.
cos theta = adj side / hypotenuse
cos x = 12/13
Taking the inverse cos of each side
cos ^-1 ( cos x) =cos ^-1 (12/13)
x =22.61986495
To the nearest hundredth
x = 22.62 degrees
