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

How does the graph of g(x)=⌈x⌉+7 differ from the graph of f(x)=⌈x⌉?
Lorico [155]
The addition of +7 influences the y values of the graph. Since it is positive, the graph of y=IxI would be moved 7 units upwards. 

Hope I helped :)

Harold and Millicent are getting married and need to combine their already-full libraries. If Harold, who has 1/2 as many books
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books that Millicent has. So the number of books that Harold has is x/2. And the number of book that Harold is bringing to the new home is (x/2)/3 = x/6.

The home has enough room for another half of Millicent's books, which is x/2. So the total books capacity of the new home is

\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{4x}{6} = \frac{2x}{3}

Since x is also the number of books in Millicent's old library capacity, we can conclude that the fraction of Millicent's old library capacity to the new home's library capacity is 2/3, or 2 thirds

Answer:

Range: (-∞, 0]

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Range is the set of y-values that are outputted by function f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we graph the equation, we should see that our y-values span from -∞ to 0. Since 0 is a closed dot, it is inclusive in the range:

(-∞, 0] or y ≤ 0
