Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 9 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 70 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 56 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

Answer:

2.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Half-life t1/2 = 9 years

Initial mass = I = 70 grams

A = final mass = 56 grams

t = time taken to reach final amount

Using the exponential half life relation :

A = I(0.5)^t/t1/2

56 = 70(0.5)^t/9

56/70 = 0.5^t/9

0.8 = 0.5^t/9

Log 0.8 = log 0.5^t/9

−0.096910 = −0.301029 * t/9

t/9 = 0.096910 / 0.301029

t/9 = 0.3219291

t = 0.3219291 * 9

t = 2.8973619

t = 2.9 years

Blake mows a half acre of lawn for his grandparents every two weeks. If Blake has already mowed three-fifths of the lawn, how ma
MAXImum [283]
Answer: Blake still has to mow 17,424 acres.

There are 43,560 square feet in an acre. 

Blake has already mowed 60% of the lawn, leaving him 40% more to mow.

All we have to do is multiply 17,424 by 0.4 to find the number of square feet remaining.

43560 x 0.4 = 17424

Given the function f(x) = x2 and k = -3, which of the following represents a vertical shift? (2 points)
lubasha [3.4K]
Answer:
f(x) + k

Explanation:
Vertical shift is represented by adding/subtracting a constant from the original given equation.
If the constant added is +ve, this means that the curve is vertically shifted upwards
If the constant added is -ve, this means that the curve is vertically shifted downwards.

Now, for the given, we have the original function f(x) and the constant k, therefore, to shift the graph vertically, the new function would be f(x)+k
We have:
f(x) = x² and k = -3
This means that the new function would be:
x² - 3
Since the constant is -ve, we can conclude that the curve is shifted vertically downwards by 3 units

Hope this helps :)
