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

Aless and Louis are going to put a rectangular pool in their backyard. The cost of installation is $6,000. If the dimensions of
lana [24]

Answer:

cost of the pool per cubic meters = $5

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular pool has a dimension of 30 m by 20 m by 2 m. To know the cost of the pool per cubic meter we have to calculate the volume of the pool . Then divide the total cost of the pool by it volume.

volume of the rectangular pool = length × height × width

volume of the rectangular pool = 30 × 20 × 2

volume of the rectangular pool = 1200  m²

The cost of installation is $6000 . The volume of the pool is 1200 cubic meters.

cost per cubic meters = total cost of installation/volume

cost per cubic meters = 6000/1200

cost of the pool per cubic meters = $5

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm2/m
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The base is reducing at a rate of 3.4cm per min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The Height of the Triangle, h

Area of the triangle = A

Area of a Triangle, A= \frac{1}{2}bh

When A=190 cm^2, h=10cm

190= \frac{1}{2}*b*10\\b=38cm

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}h\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}b\frac{dh}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt}=1 cm/min, \frac{dA}{dt}=2cm^2/min,

2=\frac{1}{2}*10*\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}*38*1\\2=5\frac{db}{dt}+19\\2-19=5\frac{db}{dt}\\-17=5\frac{db}{dt}\\\frac{db}{dt}=-\frac{17}{5} =-3.4 cm/min

The base is reducing at a rate of 3.4cm per min.
