After 1 hour, 360 g decays to 180 g.

After another hour (total 2 hours), 180 g decays to 90 g.

After another hour (total 3), 90 g decays to 45 g.

After one more (total 4), 45 g decays to 22.5 g.

More quickly, with a half-life of 1 hour, the 360 g of starting material decays to

(360 g) / 2⁴ = 22.5 g

In general, if the half-life is 1 hour, then after <em>n</em> hours, an initial amount <em>A</em> of this substance decays according to

<em>A</em> / 2<em>ⁿ</em>

Find the inverse function for f(x)=sqrt2x-6 picture below
Olenka [21]

Answer:

y = (x^2 + 6) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original function: \sqrt{2x - 6}

To find the inverse of a function we have to switch the x and y values and solve for y again

x = sqrt (2y-6)

To get rid of a square root we square the square root so:

x^2 = 2y-6

Add 6

x^2 + 6 = 2y

Divide by 2

y = (x^2 + 6) / 2

Kelly has to read a 15 page poem she has read 10 pages so far,what fraction of the poem did she read?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Kelly has read 2/3 of the poem.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the 10 pages she has read by the total 15 pages, you get 0.66. Another way to get this is to put 10 over 15. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 2/3.

At Least One Defective iPhone It has been reported that 20% of iPhones manufactured by Foxconn for a product launch did not meet
bija089 [108]
We can use the binomial theorem to find the probability that 0 out of the 15 samples will be defective, given that 20% are defective.
P(0/15) = (15C0) (0.2)^0 (1 - 0.2)^15 = (1)(1)(0.8)^15 = 0.0352
Then the probability that at least 1 is defective is equal to 1 - 0.0352 = 0.9648. This means there is a 96.48% chance that at least 1 of the 15 samples will be found defective. This is probably sufficient, though it depends on her significance level. If the usual 95% is used, then this is enough.
