Answer:

10.8 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay equation:  A=A_0e^{-rt}

A_0 is the initial amount (at time t = 0, "noon")

<em>r</em> is the decay rate

You have two pieces of information:

Noon   t = 0  A_0=50

3:00 pm  t = 3  A=30

Plug those in to get  30=50e^{-r(3)}

Divide by 50.

0.6=e^{-3r}

Take the natural log of both sides.

\ln(0.6)=-3r

Divide by -3.

\frac{\ln{(0.6)}}{-3}=r\\\\r \approx .17027

Now, for 9:00 pm, use this value of <em>r</em> and  t = 9.

A=50e^{-.17027(9)} \approx 10.8

HELP! What is the volume in cubic inches of the solid figure, rounded to the nearest cubic inch?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Volume of the solid figure = 1131 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of solid figure = Volume of half cylindrical prism + Volume of the rectangular prism

Volume of half cylindrical prism = \frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2h)

                                                     = (\frac{1}{2})(\pi )(17-11)^2(6)

                                                     = 339.29 cubic inch.

Volume of the rectangular prism = (length × width × height)

                                                      = 11 × 6 × 12

                                                      = 792 cubic inches

Volume of the solid figure = 339.29 + 792

                                            = 1131.29

                                            ≈ 1131 cubic inches
