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

A manufacturer produces televisions. He estimates that by selling them for x dollars each, he will be able to sell 230 – 3x each
poizon [28]

Answer:

Price per television =38.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of units sold in one week =230-3x

Price of one unit =x

Total money produced in one week =x(230 - 3x)

(Here it doesn't matter total money is taken for a week or day because after differentiating and equating to zero that factor disappear )

Differentiate total amount with respect to x.

\frac{dM}{dt}=230-6x

Now equate it equal to zero to get extremum.

230-6x=0

Then, x = 38.30

Consider the graph of the line y = x – 4 and the point (−4, 2).
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a. The slope  of a line parallel to the given line is 1

b. A point on the line parallel to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is  (1,7)

c. The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is -1

d. A point on the line perpendicular to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-intercept form  is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a. For the line y = x - 4

You can identify that:

m=1

 By definition, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Then, the  slope of a line parallel to the given line is:

m=1

b. The equation of the line in Point-slope form is:

y -y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1)  is a point of the line.

Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

 y -2 = (x +4)

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For x=1 :

y -2 = (1 +4)

y= 5+2

y= 7

Then, you get the point (1,7)

c. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, then the  slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is:

m=-\frac{1}{1}\\\\m=-1

d. Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

 y -2 = -1(x +4)

 y -2 = -(x +4)

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For x=3 :

y -2 = -(3 +4)

y= -7+2

y= -5

Then, you get the point (3,-5)

Answer:

7.222 (repeating)

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 + 10 + 8 = 65

1      2    3    4    5    6    7    8     9

65 / 9 = 7.222 (repeating)
