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

You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi
loris [4]
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order  -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

Add. Simplify (or reduce) your answer, if necessary 1/4 +2/7+1/2=
Bumek [7]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

29/28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with:

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{2} =

Begin by finding a common denominator. A number that contains all of the denominators as a factor would be 28. Change each fraction to contain a denominator of 28:

\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} =

Add the fractions:

\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} = \frac{29}{28}

Therefore, the fractions sum up to 29/28.
