The half-life of a particular element is 10 days. If you begin with 40 grams of the element write an exponential decay function

that models the decay of the element. Let t =1 represent one half life (or 10 days).
How much of the element is left about 40 days?

Answer:2.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the remaining mass of an element, apply the following:

m0 = m/(2^n), where m0 is the remaining mass, m as the original mass and n as the number of half lives that have passed.

we have m, we just have to find n. To find n,

24/6 = 4 half lives have passed.

Applying the first formula,

m0 = (36)/(2^4) = 36/8 = 2.25 grams

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

If a cone with a diameter of 10 m has a surface area of 190.6m2, find its slant height. Round to the nearest tenth.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:  The slant height of the cone is 65.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of a cone = 10 m

Surface area of cone = 190.6 m²

To find: Slant height

Diameter of cone = 10 m

Therefore Radius of cone = \dfrac{\text {Diameter }}{2} = \dfrac{10}{2} =5m

As we know that surface area of a cone is given by

S.A. = \pi r(l+r)

Where S.A. is surface area , r is the radius of cone and l is the slant height of the cone.

Let Slant height = l

So we have

190.6 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 ( 5+l)\\\\\Rightarrow  5+l= \dfrac{190.6 \times 7}{22}\\\\\Rightarrow l=  \dfrac{1334.2}{22}+5\approx 60.64+5 = 65.64\approx65.6

Hence the slant height of the cone is 65.6 m
