Answer:

12 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

15/5 = 3 half lives

(1/2)³ = 1/8 of the original amount will remain

96 * 1/8 = 12 grams

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

In the morning, the temperature was 15∘F. During the day, the temperature fell 37 degrees. Which expression shows how to find th
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

- 22°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Morning temperature = 15°F

Change in temperature = fall by 37 degree

The temperature of the end of the day:

Morning temperature + (change in temperature)

Fall by 37° = decrease in temperature by 37° = - 37°

15°F + (-37°F)

15°F - 37°F

= - 22°F

∠1 and ​ ∠2 ​ are vertical angles. ∠2 ​ has a measure of 31°. What is the measure of ​ ∠1 ​? Enter your answer in the box
leva [86]

For this case, the first thing you should know is that by definition, the vertical angles are congruent.

We have then:

∠1 and ∠2 are vertical angles.

Therefore, by definition:

∠1 = ∠2

On the other hand we have:

∠2 has a measure of 31 °.

Thus:

∠1 = ∠2 = 31 °

Answer:

the measure of ∠1 is:

∠1 = 31 °

what are the ex and Y coordinates of point E, which partition the directed line segment from A to B into a ratio of 1:2?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this is the one we use when we are given the ratio the directed line segment is separated into as opposed to the point being, say, one-third of the way from one point to another. The 2 equations we use to find the x and y coordinates of this separating point are:

x=\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b}  and  y=\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b} where x1, x2, y1, y2 come from the coordinates of A and B, and a = 1 (from the ratio) and b = 2 (from the ratio). Filling in for x first:

x=\frac{2(2)+1(-4)}{1+2}=\frac{4-4}{3}=0 and then y:

y=\frac{2(-3)+1(9)}{1+2}=\frac{-6+9}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=1

The coordinates of point E, then, are (0, 1).
