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

Choose a method the find the product 16x60
Dahasolnce [82]
The product is 960 because 0x6=0,6×6=36 so 60 times 6 is 360 thenn you go to the bottom & bring down one zero under your first zero ,multiply 1 times the zero which equals 0 ofc & 6×1=6 so it'll be 360 + 600= 960

Given the following: f(a) = x2 - 8x + 4; g(x) = 4x – 3; and h(x) = x + 2.
mestny [16]

Answer:

(h.g)(x) = 4x^2 + 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following: f(a) = x^2 - 8x + 4; g(x) = 4x – 3; and h(x) = x + 2.

(h.g)(x) = (4x – 3)(x + 2)

(h.g)(x) = 4x^2 + 8x - 3x - 6

(h.g)(x) = 4x^2 + 5x - 6
