\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{current amount}\dotfill &20\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &200\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &12 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 20=200\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{12}}\implies \cfrac{20}{200}=\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{12}}\implies \cfrac{1}{10}=\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{12}}

\log\left( \cfrac{1}{10} \right)=\log\left[ \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{12}} \right]\implies \log\left( \cfrac{1}{10} \right)=t\log\left[ \left( \sqrt[12]{\frac{1}{2}} \right) \right] \\\\\\ \cfrac{\log\left( \frac{1}{10} \right)}{\log\left[ \left( \sqrt[12]{\frac{1}{2}} \right) \right]}=t\implies \implies \stackrel{mins}{39.9}\approx t

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

They can seat <u>520</u> students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The night school auditorium is able to seat 8 elementary school groups of 65 students each.

Now, use the distributive property to determine the number of students they can seat.

Total number of elementary school groups = 8.

Number of students in each group = 65.

So, using the distributive property to get the number of students they can seat:

  8(65)

=8(60+5)

=8\times 60+8\times 5

=480+40

=520.

Therefore, they can seat 520 students.

Find the volume of a cylinder made by rotating a rectangle with a width of 5 feet and a length of 8. Round to the nearest whole
pav-90 [236]
<span>We have to find the volume of a cylinder made by rotating a rectangle. When a rectangle with a width of 5 feet and a length of 8 feet rotates it makes a cylinder with a radius: r = 5 ft and a height h = 8 ft. The volume of a cylinder: V = r^2 * Pi *h ; V = 5^2 * 3.14 * 8; V = 25 * 3.14 * 8; Answer: Volume of a cylinder is V = 628 ft^2. </span>
