The amount of strontium that will remain after 40 hours is 5 g

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 10 hours
  • Time (t) = 40 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 40 / 10

n = 4

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 80 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 4
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 80 / 2⁴

N = 80 / 16

N = 5 g

Chris tried to rewrite the expression \left( 4^{-2} \cdot 4^{-3} \right)^{3}(4
crimeas [40]

We have been given an expression \left( 4^{-2} \cdot 4^{-3} \right)^{3}. We have been given steps how Chris tried to solve the given expression. We are asked to choose the correct option about Chris's work.

Let us simplify our given expression.

Using exponent property, a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}, we cab rewrite our given expression as:

\left( 4^{-2+(-3)} \right)^{3}

\left( 4^{-5} \right)^{3}

Now we will use exponent property (a^m)^n=a^{m\cdot n}to further simplify our expression.

\left( 4^{-5} \right)^{3}= 4^{-5\cdot 3}

\left( 4^{-5} \right)^{3}= 4^{-15}

Therefore, Chris made mistake in step 2.

Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem of 7 inches and a side length of 5.8 inches. (nearest tenth)
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

162.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

LETS GET INTOOOOEEETTT

Let's start with what we know:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

We know the apothem, so all that we need to find to fill in the above equation is the perimeter:

perimeter = 8 x 5.8 = 46.4in

Now we can fill in our original equation and solve:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

Formula = n (s/2)² divided by tan( π /n)

   = 8 (5.8/2)²  divided by tan ( π /8)

                 = 162.4283 in²

ORRR when rounded to the nearest tenth,

                      =162.4 in²

A High School booster club sets up an academic scholarship that is awarded to one student each year. The formula y=2700x can be
djyliett [7]

Answer:

$32,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We can just replace 12 for x in the equation y = 2700x

y = 2700x

y = 2700(12)

y = 32,400

The money paid after 12 years is $32,400

Are G and F mutually exclusive events? Explain. G and F are mutually exclusive because if you are not a finalist, then you canno
Alika [10]

Answer: G and F are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of mutually exclusive events,

The events which can not occur together and probability of them occurring together is 0 are known as mutually exclusive events.

The first statement gives an implication that if one happens then other happens meaning they could both still happen so it is not true.

The second statement contradict the question about being mutually exclusive events.

The third statement also is a implication that if one event occurs then other does or does not occur.

The last statement is correct one that conforms with the question and obeys the definition of mutually exclusive events.
