Answer:

  {587, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum will be minimized when the second number is as close to zero as is allowed. If the numbers must be positive integers, the sum is minimized when the numbers are {587, 1}.

If the numbers may be real numbers, then the values that minimize the sum are {588-, 0+}

_____

The "cost" of taking a unit from the sum 588 and assigning it to the second number is that the sum of first and 3 times the second goes up by 3. In order to minimize that sum, the second number must be minimized.

Cobalt-56 has a decay constant of 8.77 × 10-3 (which is equivalent to a half life of 79 days). How many days will it take for a
sweet-ann [11.9K]
As I read this one, is just a decay exponential equation... so

A = P(1 + r)ᵗ   where "t" is days passed. . hmm in this case is decay, so negative rate  A = P(1 - r)ᵗ, and the decimal amount would be 0.00877 for the rate

62% of P, the original value, is just 0.62P, now... if we hmm take P as just 1, it could be any amount, but 62% of 1,000,000 is just 62% of 1 times 1,000,000

so, for the sake of comparing it with a percentage, 1 will do

\bf 0.62P=P(1-0.00877)^t\implies P=1\implies 0.62=(1-0.00877)^t
\\\\\\
ln(0.62)=ln[(1-0.00877)^t]\implies ln(0.62)=t\cdot  ln(1-0.00877)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{ln(0.62)}{ln(0.99123)}=t

Shop only had 2 types of stamps left using
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

  {3¢, 28¢} or {4¢, 19¢} or {7¢, 10¢}

Step-by-step explanation:

54 = 1×54 = 2×27 = 3×18 = 6×9

Possible values of the stamps are 1 more than the values of a pair of factors. Of course, a 2¢ and 55¢ stamp will not permit paying 54¢ in postage, so that combination won't work. However, other pairs that will work are ...

  • 3¢ and 28¢
  • 4¢ and 19¢
  • 7¢ and 10¢
