Answer:

The equation that describes the amount of mass left after a time t of a radioactive isotope is the following:

where

is the mass of the sample at t = 0

is the half-life of the sample

For the element X in this problem,

We want to find the time t at which

So we need to re-arrange the equation making t the subject:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For an even-index radical, ...

$\sqrt[n]{x^n}=|x|\qquad\text{n even}$

This lets us simplify the given expression as follows:

$\sqrt[4]{81x^6y^4}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^6}-\sqrt[4]{16x^2}=\sqrt[4]{(3xy)^4x^2}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^4x^2}-\sqrt[4]{2^4x^2}\\\\=3|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}=\boxed{2|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}}$

Evaluate a+b when a=5/6 and b=3 1/4

NemiM [27]

Answer:

4 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 5/6 b = 3 1/4 = 13/4

To add 5/6 + 13/4, we have to make the denominators the same:

20/24 + 78/24 = 98/24
To make it back to a mixed fraction:

4 2/24
4 1/12
