Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay problems are very similar to compound interest formulas, except the rate is subtracted from one, instead of adding to one.

I.e.

mass at time t, m(t) = M (1 - r)^(t/h)

where

M = initial mass (grams)

m (t) mass left at time t (grams)

h = half-life in number of days

r = 0.5 from "half-life"

t = time lapse in number of days

Here

M = 96

h = 5

t = 15

m(15) = 96(1-0.5)^(15/5)

= 96 (1/2)^3

= 12 grams

n an orchid show, seven orchids are to be placed along one side of the greenhouse. of the orchids, we see that the number of lin
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

7 orchids can be lined as 7!. This means that for the first orchid of the line, you can select 7 options. When you place the first orchid, for the second option you can select among 6 since 1 orchid has already been placed. Similarly, for the 3rd orchid of  the line, you have left 5 options. The sequence goes in this fashion and for 7 orchids, you have 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 possibilities. However, there is a restriction here. 3 of the orchids are white and 4 are levender. This means that it does not make a difference if we line 3 white orchids in an arbitrary order since it will seem the same from the outside. As a result, the options for lining the 7 orchids diminish. The reduction should eliminate the number of different lining within the same colors. Similar to 7! explanation above, 3 white orchids can be lined as 3! and 4 levender orchids can be lined as 4!. To eliminate these options, we  divide all options by the restrictions. The result is:

\frac{7!}{4!*3!} = 35. [(7*6*5*4*3*2*1/(4*3*2*1*3*2*1)]
