Answer:

A logarithm is the power to which a number must be raised in order to get some other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the base ten logarithm of 100 is 2, because ten raised to the power of two is 100: log 100 = 2.

\huge\bf{\underline{Logarithm}}

  • ➽ A logarithm is the power to which a number must be raised in order to get some other number. For example , the base ten logarithm of 100 is 2 because 10² is 100 : log 100 = 2

\large\bf{\underline{Why \:is \:it \:called \:a\: logarithm?}}

  • ➽ The term is coined from the two ancient Greek terms logos, meaning proportion, and arithmos, meaning number; compounding them to produce the word “logarithm.” Napier used this word as well as the designations “natural” and “artificial” for numbers and their logarithms .

How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with
babymother [125]

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

N_{0} = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t} or more simply N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }

t_{h} = time of the half-life

We know that N_{0} = 35,912, t = 14,680, and t_{h}=7,340

Plug these into the equation:

N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.

Suppose you borrow money for 6 months. If the interest rate is compounded monthly, the formula
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

$1045.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=p(1+r/12)^6

Here  r = 0.09, P = $1000 so

Amount of money needed to pay off the loan =

1000(1 + 0.09/12)^6

= $1045.85.

Hello. I need help on this question. Please answer if you know. Provide the answer with working. Thanks.

Answer:

a) - 11x - 94y / 12    b)  x -4 / 5- 3x   c) 12x - 11 /10y

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  2x - 6y / 4    -  4y - x/ 12    -   4x - 20y /3

6x - 18y / 12 -     4y - x / 12              -  16x - 80y / 12

= 5x - 14y / 12     - 16x - 80y / 12

- 11x - 94y / 12

b) x /5 -    4/ 3x =  x -4 / 5- 3x

c) 2x -3/ 5y  -    5- 2x / 10y + x/y

4x - 6 /10y   -  5-2x/ 10y +  10x / 10y

2x - 11 / 10  + 10x / 10y

= 12x - 11 /10y
