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

Which pair of points have a slope of -3/5?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

No of these answers has a slope of  \frac{-3}{5} . My guess is B becasue its close to \frac{-3}{5} unless the 5 is supposed to be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the slope formula \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }

(x_{1},y_{1}), (x_{2},y_{2})

(4, 0), (-2, 10)   \frac{10 - 0 }{-2 - 4 }= \frac{10}{6} you have to simplfy, the answer will be \frac{5}{3}

(10, -2), (0, 4)  \frac{4 - -2 }{0- 10 }= \frac{6}{-10} you have to simplfy, the answer will be \frac{3}{-5}

 (4, 2), (10, 4)  \frac{4 - 2 }{10 - 4 }= \frac{2}{6} you have to simplfy, the answer will be \frac{1}{3}

 (-4, -10),(0, -2) \frac{{-2- -10} }{0 - -4 }= \frac{8}{4} you have to simplfy, the answer will be \frac{2}{1} =2

35 points!! How much does a fish weigh if its tail weighs 4 kilograms, it's head weighs as much as it's tail and half its body,
NeX [460]

Let t, h, b represent the weighs of tail, head, and body, respectively.

t = 4 . . . . given

h = t + b/2 . . . . the head weighs as much as the tail and half the body

b/2 = h + t . . . . half the body weighs as much as the head and tail

_____

Substituting for b/2 in the second equation using the expression in the third equation, we have

... h = t + (h + t)

Subtracting h from both sides gives

... 0 = 2t . . . . . . in contradiction to the initial statement about tail weight.

Conclusion: there's no solution to the problem given here.

Y=-6x^2+100x-180
Hunter-Best [27]
In the figure we have the graphic of this equation. So, the vertex is the maximum of this function. This point means that the maximum <span>daily profit from soccer balls is:

</span>y = 236.67
<span>
And this happens when the </span><span>selling price of each soccer ball is:

</span>x = 8.33
<span>
So if you want to get the best daily profit, this is the price you must sell each soccer ball.</span>
