Answer:

7.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the time using the radioactive decay rate formula is given as:

t = t½ × In(Nt/No)/-In2

Where

t½ = half life = 6 minutes

No = Initial Amount = 260 grams

Nt = Amount after decay

= 113 grams

Hence:

t = 6 × In(113/260)/-In2

t = 7.2131331036796 minutes

Approximately = 7.2 minutes

please help me, Prove a quadrilateral with vertices G(1,-1), H(5,1), I(4,3) and J(0,1) is a rectangle using the parallelogram me
mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the coordinates of a quadrilateral that is G(1,-1), H(5,1), I(4,3) and J(0,1).

Now, before proving that this quadrilateral is a rectangle, we will prove that it is a parallelogram. For this, we will prove that the mid points of the diagonals of the quadrilateral are  equal, thus

Join JH and GI such that they form the diagonals of the quadrilateral.Now,

JH=\sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}=5 and

GI=\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}=5

Now, mid point of JH=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

=(\frac{5+0}{2},\frac{1+1}{2})=(\frac{5}{2},1)

Mid point of GI=(\frac{5}{2},1)

Since, mid point point of JH and GI are equal, thus GHIJ is a parallelogram.

Now, to prove that it is a rectangle, it is sufficient to prove that it has a right angle by using the Pythagoras theorem.

Thus, From ΔGIJ, we have

(GI)^{2}=(IJ)^{2}+(JG)^{2}                             (1)

Now, JI=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{20} and GJ=\sqrt{(0-1)^{2}+(1+1)^{2}}=\sqrt{5}

Substituting these values in (1), we get

5^{2}=(\sqrt{20})^{2}+(\sqrt{5})^{2} }

25=20+5

25=25

Thus, GIJ is a right angles triangle.

Hence, GHIJ is a rectangle.

Also, The diagonals GI=\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}=5  and HJ=\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(1-1)^2}=5 are equal, thus, GHIJ is a rectangle.

Which is a correct first step for solving this equation?<br> 2 + 7 = 2x + 5 – 4x
Mariulka [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Bringing like terms on one side

2 + 7 - 5 = 2x - 4x

9 - 5 = - 2x

4 = - 2x

4/ - 2 = x

- 2 = x

Solve for y. 12x +2y = 26x -70 a) y= 7x - 35 b) y= 20x -35 c) y= 2x + 72 d) x= 2y +36x -70 I CAN'T TELL IF IM DUMB OR NOT
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 2y = 26x - 70

2y = 14x - 70

y = 7x - 35

the answer is A
