Answer:

t=6.2days

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a substance half-life in days. round your answer to the nearest tenths

k value=0.1124

N0=33 grams

since the questions says the time it takes for the substance to reduce to half of its size. the initial mass doesn't matter

N=N0e^-kt

N/N0=e^-kt

take laperian log of both sides

Ln(N/N0)=-kt

Ln(0.5)=-0.1124t

-0.693=-0.1124t

t=6.16

t=6.2days

Note: Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material to reduce to half of its size/mass.

A 33 gram sample has k value of .1124
(Actually I think the problem SHOULD be worded: A 33 gram sample has k value of -.1124/days)

See attached graphic:
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.1124/days
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 6.1667882562 </span> </span> </span> days

Which of the following is equivalent to x4 - y4? Select all that apply.

IgorC [24]

Answer: (x^2-y^2) (x^2+y^2) and (x-y)(x+y)(x^2+y^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand (x2 − y2) (x2 + y2) using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 (x^2 + y^2 ) − y^2 (x^2 + y )

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 x^2 +x^2 y^2 - y^2 (x^2 y^2 )

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 x^2 + x^2 y^2 - y^2 x^2- y^2 y^2

Combine the opposite terms in x^2 x^2 + x^2 y^2 - y^2 x^2 - y^2 y^2.

Reorder the factors in the terms x^2 y^2 and − x^2 y^2.

x^2 x^2+ x^2 y^2 - x^2 y^2 - y^2 y^2

Subtract 2 2 from 2 2.

x^2 x^2+ 0 - y^2 y^2

Add 2 2 and 0.

x2 x2- y2 y2

Simplify each term.

Multiply x2 by x2 by adding the exponents.

x^4 − y^2y^2

x^4 − y^4

(x − y) (x + y) (x^2 + y^2)

Expand (x − y) (x + y) using the FOIL Method.

(x ⋅ x + xy − yx − y ⋅ y) (x^2 + y^2)

Combine the opposite terms in x ⋅ x + xy − yx − y ⋅ y.

(x ⋅ x − y ⋅ y) (x^2 + y^2)

(x^2 − y^2) (x^2 + y^2)

Expand (x^2 − y^2) (x^2 + y^2) using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 (x^2 + y^2) − y^2 (x^2 + y^2)

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 x^2 + x^2y^2 - y^2 (x^2 + y^2)

Apply the distributive property.

x^2 x^2 + x^2 y^2 - y^2 x^2 - y^2 y ^2

Combine the opposite terms in x^2x^2 + x^2y^2 − y^2x^2 − y^2y^2.

x^2x^2 − y^2y^2

x^4 − y^4
