Answer:

x = -5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation, x + 5.1 = 0:

Subtract 5.1 on both sides of the equation to isolate x:

x + 5.1 - 5.1 = 0 - 5.1

x + 0 = - 5.1

x = - 5.1

Two different radioactive isotopes decay to 10% of their respective original amounts. Isotope A does this in 33 days, while isot

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay of an isotope is represented by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

Where:

$m$ - Current mass of the isotope, measured in kilograms.

$t$ - Time, measured in days.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in days.

The solution of the differential equation is:

$m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Where $m_{o}$ is the initial mass of the isotope, measure in kilograms.

Now, the time constant is cleared:

$\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = -\frac{t}{\tau}$

$\tau = -\frac{t}{\ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }$

The half-life of a isotope ( $t_{1/2}$ ) as a function of time constant is:

$t_{1/2} = \tau \cdot \ln2$

$t_{1/2} = -\left(\frac{t}{\ln\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} }\right) \cdot \ln 2$

The half-life difference between isotope B and isotope A is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left| -\left(\frac{t_{A}}{\ln \frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2+\left(\frac{t_{B}}{\ln \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} } \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

If $\frac{m_{A}(t)}{m_{o,A}} = \frac{m_{B}(t)}{m_{o,B}} = 0.9$ , $t_{A} = 33\,days$ and $t_{B} = 43\,days$ , the difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is:

$\Delta t_{1/2} = \left|-\left(\frac{33\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2 + \left(\frac{43\,days}{\ln 0.90} \right)\cdot \ln 2\right|$

$\Delta t_{1/2} \approx 65.788\,days$

The approximate difference in the half-lives of the isotopes is 66 days.

One end of a line segment has the coordinates (-6,2). If

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$End 1: (-6,2)$

$Midpoint: (5,2)$

Required

Find the coordinates of the other end

Let Midpoint be represented by (x,y);

(x,y) = (5,2) is calculated as thus

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

So

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$ and $y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Where $(x_1,y_1) = (-6,2)$ and $(x,y) = (5,2)$

So, we're solving for $(x_2,y_2)$

Solving for $x_2$

$x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$

Substitute 5 for x and -6 for x₁

$5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 5 = \frac{-6 + x_2}{2} * 2$

$10 = -6 + x_2$

Add 6 to both sides

$6 + 10 = -6 +6 + x_2$

$x_2 = 16$

Solving for $y_2$

$y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$

Substitute 2 for y and 2 for y₁

$2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 2 = \frac{2 + y_2}{2} * 2$

$4 = 2 + y_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$4 - 2 = 2 - 2 + y_2$

$y_2 = 2$

$(x_2,y_2) = (16,2)$

Hence, the coordinates of the other end is $(16,2)$

The graph of a linear function is shown on the grid

monitta

Answer: Choice A

y + 1 = -3(x+2)

=============================

Explanation:

Let's look through the answer choices.

Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.

With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.

The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.

--------------

A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
