Karolina [17]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = EC

BF = FC

EF = 8 and DF = 10

To Find:

AB = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The Midpoint Theorem states that "the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side".

AE = EC .....Given

Therefore E is the Mid Point of AC.

BF = FC .....Given

Therefore F is the Mid Point of BC.

Therefore,

EF || AB ........................Mid Point Theorem.

..............Mid Point Theorem.

Substituting the values we get

Therefore AB is 16 units.

The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years. If 30 grams is present now, how much will be present in 300 years?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

$N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$N(t)$ = quantity of the substance remaining

$N_0$ = initial quantity of the substance

$t$ = time elapsed

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the substance

From the information given we know:

The initial quantity of silicone-32 is 30 g.
The time elapsed is 300 years.
The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years.

So, to find the quantity of silicone-32 remaining we apply the above equation

$N(t)=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{300}{710}}=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{71}}\approx22.38 \:g$

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

In 2000, the population of Massachusetts

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The population reaches 7 million people in the year 2032.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that

$f(x) = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

Using this model, find the year when the population reaches 7 million people.

This is x years after 2000, in which x is found when f(x) = 7. So

$f(x) = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

$7 = 6.3*(1.0032)^{x}$

$(1.0032)^{x} = \frac{7}{6.3}$

$(1.0032)^{x} = 1.11$

We have to following logarithm rule

$\log{a^{x}} = x\log{a}$

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

$\log{(1.0032)^{x}} = \log{1.11}$

$x\log{1.0032} = \log{1.11}$

$x = \frac{\log{1.11}}{\log{1.0032}}$

$x = 32.66$

2000 + 32.66 = 2032

The population reaches 7 million people in the year 2032.
