Find the mass at time t=0. ANSWER HAS TO BE IN GRAMS
777dan777 [17]

For part (a) the answer is 400 grams for part (b) 198.63 grams and for part (c)  20 years.

<h3>What is exponential decay?</h3>

During exponential decay, a quantity falls slowly at first before rapidly decreasing. The exponential decay formula is used to calculate population decline and can also be used to calculate half-life.

We have an equation for radioactive decay:

\rm m(t) = 400e^{-0.035t}

a) Plug t = 0

\rm m(0) = 400e^{-0.035\times 0}

m(0) = 400 grams

b) plug t = 20 years

\rm m(20) = 400e^{-0.035\times 20}

After solving:

m(20) = 198.63 grams

c) Plug m(t) = m(0)/2 = 400/2 = 200 grams

\rm 200 = 400e^{-0.035t}

x = 19.80 years ≈ 20 years

Thus, for part (a) the answer is 400 grams for part (b) 198.63 grams and for part (c)  20 years.

Express the product of 2x^2+7x-10 and x+5 in standard form
zimovet [89]

Answer:

2x³+17x²+25x-50

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form: All your numbers and variables in order of the highest exponent.

(2x²+7x-10)(x+5)

We want to distribute x and 5 to every single value.

2x³+7x²-10x+10x²+35x-50

Simplify.

2x³+17x²+25x-50

This is standard form because the highest values are on the left (x³ is larger than x²).

10-kg batch of a food product has a moisture content of175% dry basis. Calculate the amount of water to beremoved from the produ
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

4.9kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%

Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100

Mass of food product = 10kg

Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg

Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%

Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100

Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg

Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg

Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg

Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg

% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%
