How much of a radioactive kind of ruthenium will be left after 8 hours if you start with 3,888

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As an example, iodine-131 is a radioisotope with a half-life of 8 days. It decays by beta particle emission into xenon-131. After eight days have passed, half of the atoms of any sample of iodine-131 will have decayed, and the sample will now be 50% iodine-131 and 50% xenon-131.

50 grams to 25 grams is one half-life. 25 grams to 12.5 grams is another half-life. So, for 50 grams to decay to 12.5 grams, two half-lives, which would take 36 days total, would need to pass. This means each half-life for element X is 18 days.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as you can see something amazing happens in 10 in this function . If you replace x with 10 you get 1/0 wich an indetermined form in Mathematics.

Now we are sure that there is a vertical asymptote in 10. Let's see identify the limit in the left of 10.

let's assign some values to x that are smaller than 10.

1. x=9

1/(9-10)= -1

a negative value

2. x=8

1/(8-10)= -1/2

a negative value

let try a reallu colse value to 10 like 9.99

1/(9.99-10)=-100

a negative value

so we can deduce that the limit is -∞

lim     [1/(x-10)]=-∞

x→10-

GIVING BRAINLIEST TO THE CORRECT ANSWER!!
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No of total brown = 2 + 1 = 3 .

probability = 3 / 6

= 1 /2 .

no of males = 2

probability

= 2 / 6

= 1 /3

no of person who is both male and brown = 1

probability = 1 /6

Required probability

= probability of being brown + probability of being male - probability of being both

= 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 - 1 /6

= 4 / 6

= 2 / 3 .

What is the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence for which a1 = 30 and r = 1/2?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:  The required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence with first term and common ratio as follows :

a(1)=30,~~~~~r=\dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r given by

a(n)=a(1)r^{n-1}.

Therefore, the fourth term of the given geometric sequence will be

a(4)=a(1)r^{4-1}=30\times r^3=30\times\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3=\dfrac{30}{27}=\dfrac{10}{9}.

Thus, the required fourth term of the geometric sequence is \dfrac{10}{9}.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The total cost is \$62 assuming the cost for 1 adult is \$5 and the cost for 1 child is \$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the cost for 1 adult is \$5 and the cost for 1 child is \$2:

a=\$5 and c=\$2

Then the expression that gives the total cost 10 a+6c is solved as:

10(\$5)+6(\$2)=\$62
