Answer:

$196

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume,

cost of a belt = 'x'

cost of a pair of pants = 'y'

Now, According to the question;

x + y = 490;
cost of a bag = twice the cost of belt = 2x;
cost of a pair of pants = twice the cost of bag

⇒ y = 2×2x ⇔ 4x

hence, by subtituting the values in equation' we get;

⇒ x + 4x = 490

⇒ 5x = 490

⇒ x = 98

So, the difference between the cost of the pair of pants and the bag ;

⇒ y - 2x

⇒ 4x - 2x

⇒ 2x = 2×98 = 196.

Michael’s weight can be represented by the expression 72x^5. Al’s weight can be represented by the expression 9x^7.

podryga [215]

Answer:

a) $\frac{72x^5}{9x^7}$

b) $=\frac{8}{x^2}$

c), Yes; $8x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael's Weight: $72x^5$

Al's weight: $9x^7$

a) Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: $\frac{72x^5}{9x^7}$

b) This ratio simplifies to: $\frac{8\times 9x^5}{9x^5\timesx^2}$

$=\frac{8}{x^2}$

c) Yes, If the exponent in each expression were negative, then we have:

Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: $\frac{72x^{-5}}{9x^{-7}}$

This ratio simplifies to: $8x^{-5--7}=8x^2$

The two ratios are not the same.

Element X decays radioactively with a half-life of eight minutes. If there are 800 g of element X, how long, to the nearest 10th

Harman [31]

Answer: 41.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved with the Radioactive Half Life Formula:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=22 g$ is the final amount of the radioactive element

$A_{o}=800 g$ is the initial amount of the radioactive element

$t$ is the time elapsed

$h=8 min$ is the half life of the radioactive element

So, we need to substitute the given values and find $t$ from (1):

$22 g=(800 g) 2^{\frac{-t}{8 min}}$ (2)

$\frac{22 g}{800 g}=2^{\frac{-t}{8 min}}$ (3)

$\frac{11}{400}=2^{\frac{-t}{8 min}}$ (4)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{11}{400})=ln(2^{\frac{-t}{8 min}})$ (5)

$-3.593=-\frac{t}{8 min}ln(2)$ (6)

Clearing $t$ :

$t=41.46 min \approx 41.5 min$ This is the time elapsed

Water is flowing into and out of two vats, Vat A and Vat B. The amount of water, in gallons, in Vat A at time t hours is given b

svetoff [14.1K]

Note: The first file attached contains the clear and complete question

Answer:

a) The times at which the graph of A(t) has horizontal tangent are t = 1 and t = 7

A(t) has a local maximum at t=7

A(t) has a local minimum at t=1

b) The times at which the graph of D(t) has horizontal tangent are t = 1.59 and t = 7.74

D(t) has a local maximum at t=1.59

D(t) has a local minimum at t=7.74

c) A(t) = (-t^3) + 8(t^2) -21t + 40

d) The water level in vat A is rising most rapidly at t = 4 hrs

e) 138 gallons

f) 18 gallons per hour

g) 98 gallons
