Answer:

13.18651685

13.9

Explain:

890-238=652
652/890=0.7325842697 (Find out the percentage)

We know that 1 gram of Element X will be fully decayed in 18 minutes and half of it in 9 minutes.

0.7325842697x18=13.18651685

As you see 18/13.18651685 will equal to 18 (not exactly since it is rounded)

And of course we need to round it to nearest tenth. So the answer would be 13.9!

Simplify ( 1/2A + 1/2B )^2
zysi [14]
Notice that both A and B are multiplied by (1/2).

Thus, the given expression can be re-written as [(1/2)(A+B)]^2.

Square the (1/2) and the (A+B) separately, and then multiply together the resulting squares:

(1/4)(A^2 + 2AB + B^2)

part of the population of 4,500 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite a random sample of 50 elk shows that 8 of
REY [17]

Answer:

A total of 720 elk are likely to be infected

Step-by-step explanation:

we shall be using the proportion by survey to estimate the number of infections

From the survey 8 out of 50 are infected. Thus the likelihood of infection is 8/50

We have 4,500 elk to consider. The number of elk likely to be infected will be 8/50 * 4500 = 720

Which of these sets of angle measures could be the three angles in a triangle?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Okay so this is simple addition, once you know how to do it. 

The interior angles of a triangle should always add up to 180 Degrees. 

Now that you know this, all you have to do is add the numbers together and see which ones add up to 180 degrees. 

A. - 90+42+58=190

B. - 60+60+60=180

C. - 100+48+42=190

D. - 31+75+70=176

Out of these choices the only one that adds up to 180 is B. So your answer would be B.

A parabola can be represented by the equation y2 = –x. What are the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix?
shutvik [7]

ANSWER

Focus:

(- \frac{1}{4} ,0)

Directrix:

x=\frac{1}{4}

EXPLANATION

The given parabola has equation:

{y}^{2}  =  - x

We compare this to the general equation,

{y}^{2}  =  - 4px

Comparing the coefficient of x, we have:

-4p=-1

p =  \frac{1}{4}

The focus is (-p,0)

(- \frac{1}{4} ,0)

The equation of the directrix is

x=p

x =  \frac{1}{4}
