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

suppose the probality that it will rain tomorrow is 0.59. what is the probality that it will not rain tomorrow​
kykrilka [37]

Answer: 0.41

Step-by-step explanation: 0.59 is 59%. To find the percentage of chance that it will not rain, you subtract 1 (which is 100%) minus 0.59. You get an answer of 0.41 (or 41% if you prefer.)

If tan θ = 3/2 and cos θ < 0, use the fundamental identities to evaluate the other five trig functions of θ.
notsponge [240]
Use the Pythagorean theorem, tan is y/x so y = -3 and x= -2. Because cos is negative and R is always positive. You need to find R- which is the hypotenuse;
3^2 + 2^2 = r^2
9 + 4 = r^2
13 = r^2
√13 = r.

So you already have tan<span>θ, 
cot</span><span>θ= 2/3

sin</span>θ= -3/√13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -3 √13/ 13

cscθ= √13/ -3

cosθ= -2/ √13 BUT
you have to rationalize, so you get -2√13/ 13

secθ= √13/ -2
