Iodine-125 has a daily decay rate of about 1%. How many milligrams of a 500 mg sample will remain after 300 days? Round the answ

Amanda [17]

So.. in this case, the starting amount is the 500mg sample... and the rate of decay, negative rate, is 1%, and at the time, the elapsed days is 0, to t = 0, P = 400

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential change}\\\\
A=P(1\pm r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{starting amount}\to &500\\
r=rate\to 1\%\to \frac{1}{100}\to &0.01\\
t=\textit{elapsed period}\to &300\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=500(1-0.01)^{300}$

A.) which of these expressions is equivalent to 4 x x

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a) The correct option is C: 4x

b) The correct option is B: 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Usually when we have a real number multiplying a variable, we do not need to write the multiplication symbol.

So instead of writing:

4×x

We can write:

And this will be equivalent.

Then in this case the correct option is C.

b) We know that if we have the multiplication of A by n, this will be equivalent to add A n times.

Then if we have the sum of A, for example, 4 times, we have:

A + A + A + A

And this can be written as 4*A

In this case, we have the expression x + x.

So we are adding x two times, then this can be written as: 2*x, or, as we said earlier, this also can be written as 2x.

Then the correct option is option B.

Let g be the function given by g(x)=limh→0sin(x h)−sinxh. What is the instantaneous rate of change of g with respect to x at x=π

lorasvet [3.4K]

The instantaneous rate of change of g with respect to x at x = π/3 is 1/2.

<h3>How to determine the instantaneous rate of change of a given function</h3>

The instantaneous rate of change at a given value of $x$ can be found by concept of derivative, which is described below:

$g(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Where $h$ is the difference rate.

In this question we must find an expression for the instantaneous rate of change of $g$ if $f(x) = \sin x$ and evaluate the resulting expression for $x = \frac{\pi}{3}$ . Then, we have the following procedure below:
